Testimonials and Reviews

My partner Jo and I had the most serene and memorable stay at this incredible Airbnb.

From the moment we arrived, Daryl and Richard made us feel so welcome—it truly felt like a home away from home. They’ve thoughtfully provided everything you could possibly need: a variety of milks, coffee, fresh local bread, a generous selection of snacks and drinks, and even bacon and eggs if you feel like cooking up breakfast.

The studio was warm, cosy, and beautifully prepared for our arrival, creating the perfect space to unwind. Daryl and Richard are not only exceptional hosts but also wonderful company—we thoroughly enjoyed chatting with them during our stay. It’s the little touches that make this place so special, like a spare backpack for guests keen to explore the trails but who may have left theirs behind. They’ve truly thought of everything.

This is hands down the best stay we’ve ever had, and the only place we’ll want to stay whenever we visit the mountains again.

Book this place today! Do not hesitate for a moment as it will be snapped up by someone else and your chance to experience a real 5 star (would love to rate it a 10 ⭐️!) Airbnb will be gone.
The Studio at Mount Booralee will absolutely exceed any expectation you may have as these amazing hosts Daryl and Richard have absolutely thought of every single detail.
Words cannot describe how unbelievable this experience is…so pack yourself a good book, some walking shoes to enjoy the grounds and nearby stunning lookouts and book today!
This has been THE BEST Airbnb experience and one I do not believe any other host will be able to top. So we will be back real soon Daryl and Richard for that Fire Pit & Pizza night.

Daryl and Richard were incredible hosts from start to finish.
The property is absolutely beautiful, and the cabin itself was wonderfully appointed with thoughtful touches throughout. We were delighted to find a host of special treats on our arrival plus a fully stocked fridge and pantry that made us feel at home.
Daryl went above and beyond by providing excellent local restaurant recommendations that enhanced our stay. Their warm hospitality combined with the stunning little cabin made for an unforgettable experience.
We'd highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a really enjoyable getaway up in Blue Mountains.

What a magical property Mount Booralee is with its stunning views and beautiful grounds.
Daryl and Richard, thank you for being amazing hosts. Seriously the best we’ve had. From the moment we arrived, to the last goodbye, Charlotte and I felt like one of the family.
The Studio was ideal for our weekend away. Blackheath is a beautiful little town with cafes, antique stores and stunning surrounds. We’ll be back in the cooler months and then some.

I've stayed in a lot of Air BnBs, but this was one of the best. Every detail was thought out, the Mount Booralee Studio just oozed relaxation and the stress-free lifestyle. Daryl and Richard are amazing hosts who have thought of every detail, and even some details that I've never seen in an Air BnB. If you want to get into the Blue Mountains and truly escape and enjoy the country, Mount Booralee is the place for you.

Absolute perfection!
Mount Booralee far exceeded our expectations! As soon as we checked-in we wanted to extend our stay. The hosts were wonderful and have done a fantastic job with the accomodation and grounds. Although the weather was poor during our stay, the beauty of the estate outshone the cloudy weather and we loved exploring. The studio is extremely well appointed. It felt luxurious but also comfortable as if it were in our own home.

Mount Booralee was the perfect wedding venue for us!

We had an intimate ceremony with our closest family and friends followed by a relaxed reception. There were so many beautiful places on site for photography and our guests loved spending the day with us here in the Blue Mountains. Daryl and Richard were absolutely fantastic hosts and went above and beyond for us on our special day - setting up breakfast on our wedding morning, festoon lights, wine barrels, seating, greeting guests and organising pick up of food for our reception when plans changed last minute. They made the day run smoothly and left my partner and I stress free, which allowed us to enjoy all the other things that go on during your wedding day.

The Studio on site was perfect for us to stay in for a few days and extremely convenient when it came to getting myself and the bridal party ready. Daryl and Richard have honestly thought of everything! We can’t wait to stay with them again soon for our 1st Wedding Anniversary.

We just had a wonderful couple of days at Mount Booralee's Studio. The accommodation is meticulously clean and generously equipped with every comfort in mind - for humans and for their dogs. Nothing was overlooked and these generous and kind touches really helped us relax and unwind. Our two dogs had great fun exploring the grounds and chatting to the resident kangaroos, magpies, parrots, ducks and the owners' canines - all of whom were kind enough to allow us to spend time in their home.

We also brought our telescope hoping for some clear, dark skies, and last night we were lucky enough to get good glimpses of Jupiter, Mars and the Milky Way before the mists and dramatic thunderstorms rolled in. Such a treat!

We hope to come back to Mount Booralee again soon, and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone wanting a peaceful and relaxing stay in a charming and beautiful retreat. Thank you Daryl and Richard for sharing your gorgeous home with us.

Our Stay at Mount Booralee was truly spectacular and exceeded all expectations. The attention to detail, homely touches and complimentary gifts, and the accommodation itself, was far and beyond anything we have experienced.
To say it was perfect would not be a stretch. The location and the property are majestic. We woke up to the sight of mist rolling across the mountains, a short walk up to the "Summit" for both sunrise and sunset was magical and made us feel like we were on the top of the mountains gazing over the pristine bushland, with all its sights and sounds. Location wise it is close to all the best activities and attractions Blackheath has to offer.
Daryl and Richard are not only amazing hosts, they are amazing people, we had a wonderfull evening sharing a drink and stories as the sun set over the Mount Booralee Estate. The love and care they put into the property is genuinely reflected in how much we enjoyed our stay. Do not hesitate to book. We certainly will be back

What a beautiful and relaxing break we enjoyed at this stunning spot! The added bonus is that Daryl and his partner are absolutely lovely— so warm and welcoming— and the space itself is beyond gorgeous! The bed and quality linen are divine, the view is breathtaking and there were just so many added, thoughtful touches. Thank you so much guys, we enjoyed every second of our wonderful stay! 💫
