Leura Gardens Festival accommodation for up to 12
Each spring, private gardens around Leura open their gates for the Leura Gardens Festival, usually over the October long weekend. Stonelinks gives your group a house of its own for it: six bedrooms, a cool-climate garden and a gate onto Leura Golf Course.
Sleeps up to 12, about 90 minutes from Sydney.
Private gardens, open for a good cause
The Leura Gardens Festival opens some of the village’s private gardens to visitors for a few days each spring. It is run by a volunteer committee, and the money raised goes to local causes, with the Blue Mountains District Anzac Memorial Hospital as its main beneficiary.
- Gardens of all sizes in Leura, and in recent years in Wentworth Falls and Katoomba too
- Tickets for one garden, three gardens or all of them, valid for the whole festival
- A festival bus between the gardens, starting from Leura Station
Gardens, dates, prices and bus times change each year. The festival website has the current details.
A cool-climate garden of your own
After a day of other people’s gardens, Stonelinks has one of its own. Sculpted garden beds, seasonal blooms and established hedges frame the house, with spring flowers in the cool-climate gardens.
- A fully fenced lawn, with a private gate onto Leura Golf Course
- A covered loggia with BBQ for long spring afternoons
- A heated seven-person outdoor spa on the deck
- A dining table that seats 12, and a full kitchen with double ovens

Planning a festival weekend
- The festival usually falls on the October long weekend, when Stonelinks has a three-night minimum stay. Check availability early.
- Festival buses leave from Leura Station, in the village. Leura Mall is about a five-minute drive from the house, and there is off-street parking for four cars at Stonelinks.
- Leura is cooler than Sydney all year, so pack a warm layer for spring evenings.
- The house sleeps up to 12 across six bedrooms. See the bedrooms and bedding.
