It has everything to do with Christmas and not only are they open around Christmas time but in July as well if you want to do 'Christmas in July'.
I had a ball in the shop looking at all the stuff and honestly I felt like a kid again. I could spend all day in there and still wouldnt be able to see everything and man! it was so much fun.

Approximate cost: $Varies

The day we went, there was no pies left, as we were told you need to get in early. 'Kinda like the early bird gets the worm' Its a local knowledge that the locals like to keep for themselves lol But they also sell bread their specialty is sourdough varieties.

Well this is a self-contained retreat and they mean it too. As you know some self-contained are not that but this one is. We had local wildlife coming to get a feed of bird seeds from our hands, it's only a walk to the famous 3 sisters and Echo point plus their garden is totally amazing and you can walk using the famous Prince Henry Cliff trail which takes you to the 3 sisters. The retreat has a fireplace if you go in autumn and winter as well as 2 gas heaters. The owners are fabulous as well as their dog Mango.

Approximate cost: $Depends on the package your after.

wow, it was awesome, love the food, the atmosphere the service and the chef (nice piece of eye candy). If you do go you must try the Chicken Club and the Irish pot pie. So nice and filling. Worth every penny you spent there.

Wow, what can I say! I've been told about this place and it is worth everything I've been told, not only there is Chocolates (of course) but there is an Appreciation workshop where you learn everything about how chocolate is made from the humble beginning of the seed pod to the end product yummmmm, to a wine tasting to show which chocolates goes with what wine, and everything you need to make hot chocolate and your own cakes using their products. Did I mention they have CHOCOLATES AND MORE CHOCOLATES I'm in heaven seriously I am. The moment you walk in its all you see and smell and even a taste test mmmmmmmmm
Need I say more, this is one shop you must visit when in Leura.

Approximate cost: $Who cares, its chocolates
