Testimonials and Reviews

We've been traveling and staying in Airbnbs for years, and have been to many locations, but this is by far #1 of all. Everything, just everything, is amazing
Daryl created a place like home. The Studio at Mount Booralee is perfection in simplicity.
Daryl, is a great host, very welcoming, and always there to help and guide, and very friendly to discuss with. We felt so welcomed.
Next time, when we get to this area, this is our only choice.

Our stay at Mt Booralee was nothing short of amazing! Every detail was meticulously considered, ensuring that even our dog felt completely at home. My partner and I never once felt like we were missing anything. The studio was impeccably clean, cozy, and well equipped, offering us everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The views were absolutely breathtaking. The hosts were incredibly attentive, friendly, and sociable. Their warm hospitality truly elevated our experience. I would highly recommend Mt Booralee to anyone traveling to the Blue Mountains. In fact, the experience was so exceptional that I believe you should plan your trip to the Blue Mountains just to stay here. It’s simply the best stay we’ve ever had, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit!

A tranquil and beautiful stay. Daryl & Richard are the most lovely people and were always around to help out. They completely stocked the cabin for us, so we had everything we could ask for. They also invited us over for drinks and a chance to hear about the house's history and get to know each other. They really made us feel welcome during our stay.



We were fortunate enough to have some good weather too and the view is just spectacular. I highly recommend the Mount Booralee if you are looking for a quiet and peaceful break away. Even when the weather was bad, the mountain mist in the trees and around the gardens was just stunning.



Cannot recommend this place enough! Thank you Richard & Daryl 🙂

Wow. We have stayed in many Airbnbs over the last decade and this is easily ome of our top stays. From the very warm welcome when we arrived, to the beautifully appointed studio with expansive views and all the little luxurious touches was truly thought of.

Everything inside the cottage was meticulously placed which added to the understated luxurious ambience of the place.

When in Blue Mountains sunsets and sunrises are one of my fav things to do and what better than having your own private view 5 min walk away from the studio.

Daryl and Richard were so generous and curious and ended up having great chats.

Lastly our dog absolutely loved his stay. We can't wait to come back!

A fantastic stay - and that's something I rarely say!. We would love to come back to this property.

Just like all the other reviews - the communication was fantastic and easy. Generosity at its best. Very comfortable studio.

Our rescue greyhound loved doing zoomies around the property.

Tried some astrophotograpy one night -whilst the clouds weren't helpful, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Thankyou Daryl & Richard for a positive experience and a joyful and relaxing stay.

The Mount Booralee Studio is THE most amazing Airbnb we have ever stayed in. It was beautifully presented and in a stunning setting. The hosts, Daryl and Richard, had thought of absolutely everything with a range of amenities available to us. The impeccably clean kitchen was stocked full of goodies to eat and drink. We will definitely visit again the next time we are in Australia visiting our son and his wife. It's already on their list of places to go too!! Thank you so much, Daryl and Richard, for having us to stay in your wonderful studio!

Thank you for such a wonderful stay at your beautiful property. The care and thought that you have put into hosting is very evident, and we've felt so welcome. Thank you also for the great local knowledge - we felt well advised on all the things to see and do in the Blackheath area. We hope to come back when next time we're in Australia.

This was an unforgettable Airbnb experience, definitely the best yet. From the moment you arrived, you are greeted by your host. Both Daryl and Richard are amazing hosts and have gone above and beyond to make sure you enjoy your stay.

The property itself is absolutely beautiful, so peaceful and relaxing. The studio is a beautiful space, it has everything you need, and the hosts have thought of every little detail that you may need during your stay. Including all the food and drinks supplies which is so generous of them.

This place allows you to really unwind and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. I would stay back here in a heartbeat.

Thank you for such a beautiful stay.

Fantastic location, great hosts and truly amazing time spent at Mt Bouralee. A wonderful place inside and out, from the beautiful scenery to the cosy and lovely, well appointed cottage/studio in the middle of a lush garden with ponds. Our hosts made us feel special from the start, welcoming us into their place to our departure, will many little thoughtful attentions. We will come back!

An outstanding find - we're returning soon!

This wonderful accommodation is a studio, totally separate from the main house, on a large, beautifully maintained estate with exceptional views of the surroundings.

The property is on the outskirts of town and blissfully quiet. It is however only 5 minutes drive into Blackheath which has lovely food options and is also only a short drive away from Katoomba and Leura.

What makes this studio exceptional is the thoughtfulness, attention to detail and care taken in the design and furnishing of the studio to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Everything was spotless - and we are fussy! The kitchen items were in great condition, and the provisions in the fridge and in cupboards were both quality and very generous. Complementary little treats including chocolates, nuts and Pringles were another thoughtful, special touch.

Our hosts Daryl and Richard were thoroughly delightful, engaging, friendly and informative, and we had a few lovely chats. They were there if you needed anything but you had your privacy as well. Their two Vizsla dogs were also very sweet, friendly and well behaved.

This residence was a fantastic find, and we have already booked our return! Thank you very much Daryl and Richard, we are very much looking forward to staying with you again.
