Chris and Christine welcome you to their home. Laurel Bank has been a haven for travellers for many years, and today provides hospitality which will encourage guests to return again and again to Kangaroo Valley.
The Billabong Suite is so named due to the huge 7 foot cast iron clawsfoot bath actually in the room, in addition to the ensuite. The four poster bed and recyled 100 year old timber floor adds a touch of elegance to the room. Guests receive a bottle of Kangaroo Valley Yarrawa Estate Chambourcin or Unwooded Chardonnay and speciality chocolates for every two day stay.
Laurel Bank is an oasis in the middle of sprawling dairy country. It is also home to a couple of sheep, two very friendly dogs called Whitby and Georgie, and about twenty chickens that supply the very fresh eggs which make their way to the breakfast table poached, boiled and fried. Scrambled eggs and smoked salmon is a speciality of the house.
All tariffs include breakfast for two.

A traditional B&B, Laurel Bank commenced operating as a guest house in the early 1920's when it was itself a dairy farm. The eighty year old milking shed still exists, where James Nathanial Watson and his wife Sarah, assisted by their nine daughters tended their herd.
Weary travellers making their way in unreliable jalopies along dusty dirt tracks.Today's travellers more often gaze at the spectacular valley views from air-conditioned cars.
Breakfast is served in the original dining room which is furnished to reflect a bygone era, and the old country kitchen still contains a few surprises when Christine produces home made muffins, pancakes and maple syrup and lashings of porridge, brown sugar and cream on those cold foggy winter mornings for which the valley is renowned.
The Gazebo is very popular with guests who like to take their breakfast in the sunshine, or have a barbeque on warm summer's evenings. It is ideal for browsing the Sunday papers, reading a favourite novel or simply soaking up the atmosphere of Kangaroo Valley.
