Leura Suburb Profile

Bordering the world-heritage Blue Mountains National Park and tourist hotspot Katoomba, living in Leura offers an alluring charm that has been nurtured by a vibrant community. Lined with cherry blossom trees, Leura Village has a profusion of antique shops, art galleries, bookstores, cafés, and restaurants, many housed in Edwardian storefronts along Leura Mall. Step away from the social hub of Leura, and you’ll find grand old homes and intimate rustic cottages, which continue the theme of a serene mountain village. 

Leura is renowned for its English-style cool climate gardens, which take centre stage at the Leura Garden Festival and Leura Village Fair every October. Year-round, the public can explore the Everglades Garden—a manicured 1930s European Romantic-style garden that reflects the natural beauty of the Australian bush. 

Cliff Drive and Sublime Point Road connect to walking trails that boast stunning views of the Jamieson Valley, Gordon Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls. Alternatively, Leura Golf Course and The Fairmount Resort offer a stylish escape with panoramic views of the Blue Mountains National Park. 

Situated 100 kilometres west of Sydney, living in Leura has long been a weekend destination for Sydneysiders, but in more recent times, it has become a place to call home for those who don’t mind the commute to a place of rugged beauty, fresh mountain air, and village charm.
