Testimonials and Reviews

We just want to say a massive thank you to you and Richard for the amazing stay at your beautiful property. We were in awe of it from the moment we arrived, and had the most relaxing and enjoyable stay - excellent for the nervous system! You truly have created a little slice of heaven and we hope to come back again soon - Thank you for all of your hospitality.

This Blue Mountains Garden Property hosted by Daryl was by far one of the most perfect stays my partner and I have experienced. Daryl was very welcoming upon arrival, and the views all around the cottage were extraordinary. The place was incredible, very clean, cozy and stocked with wonderful goods. Most definitely would recommend, and we hope to be back some time in the future.

This was our second stay at Mount Booralee, and somehow, it was even more magical than the first!
Richard and Daryl are amazing hosts. They genuinely make you feel right at home. ​The new bedroom extension is a spectacular addition, waking up to those incredible sunrise views right from the comfort of the bed was unforgettable.
We love the immaculate attention to detail throughout the Studio, especially the little touches of history. They give you such a deep appreciation for the property and its story.
​It was also wonderful to explore the expansive property and take in the breathtaking views from the Summit.
Between the comfort of the Studio and the beauty of the property, it’s the ultimate getaway. ​There is absolutely no doubt that we will be back again. Thank you both for another perfect stay!

One could wax lyrical about Mount Booralee! We have stayed at many really good properties, but this stay ranks among the very best. It is clear that a great deal of thought has gone into the furnishings and equipment, which are comprehensive and of high quality.
The thoughtfulness extends an extra mile (or two) in the form of generous provisions of snacks, breakfast items, food and drinks. To say we were amazed is an understatement.
We were also invited to (extended!) "Sundowners" with Daryl and Richard, which proved to be a most enjoyable couple of hours. The thoughtfulness extended to a little gift presented to us at our early morning departure, and we left regretting that we had not booked a night or two longer than the three nights which we spent in this magical place.
In summary - wonderful accommodation, stunning views and gracious hosts. Worth more than five stars!

This is by far the best Airbnb experience we’ve ever had.
Daryl and Richard are world-class hosts, and the view from the property is simply spectacular. The studio is extraordinarily clean; everything was spotless. You can really feel the care they put into the guest experience—they provided everything including a wide variety of delicious snacks and food items . We also truly appreciated the privacy. Daryl and Richard were so respectful of our space that we felt like we had the place entirely to ourselves.
It was the perfect, effortless getaway.

The unique location of the house, set on a large property with breathtaking panoramic views, made the experience truly unforgettable.
