Scone isn't just the Horse Capital of Australia, it's become a destination for people seeking a better life.
Whether you've recently escaped the city for Scone's tranquility and space, you're managing a thoroughbred stud property, or you're commuting to work in mining and industry while raising a family here, one thing is clear: you moved here for quality of life, not more housework.
At Lenora's Cleaning Services, we understand what draws people to Scone and what keeps them here.
From equestrian families managing large acreage properties to tree-change households still finding their rhythm, we're here to help you reclaim your weekends and enjoy the lifestyle that brought you to this special town.
Life in Scone comes with its own particular challenges and rhythms:
Tree-Change Families Need Time to Adjust and Enjoy
Many Scone residents are former city dwellers who arrived stressed and overwhelmed, seeking the space and tranquility this town offers.
You didn't move to Scone to spend weekends scrubbing floors, showers, baths and toilets, you moved to this beautiful part of the world to see the stars, hear the silence and actually relax.
Let us handle the cleaning so you can focus on why you made the move: living better.
Equestrian Properties and Acreage Management
As the Horse Capital of Australia, Scone is home to world-class thoroughbred studs and equestrian households.
Managing stables, paddocks, riding arenas, and larger properties means constant battle against dust, mud, hay, and outdoor elements.
We understand the unique demands of horse properties and know how to keep homes fresh despite the rural workload.
Commuter Households Juggling Regional Work
Many Scone locals commute to coal mines, OEM depots, or industrial businesses throughout the Hunter and Upper Hunter regions.
After managing that daily commute and a full workday, you deserve to come home to a clean, welcoming space, not a list of chores.
We can clean during the day while you're away, so your evenings and weekends are truly yours.
Large Properties Mean More to Maintain
Scone's appeal lies partly in its generous block sizes and acreage properties. That extra space is wonderful for lifestyle but it also means more windows, larger living areas, outdoor entertaining spaces, and garden zones to keep maintained. We're equipped to handle larger properties efficiently.
Community and Social Life
From the annual Scone Horse Festival to school events at Scone Grammar and Scone Public School, local gatherings, and the warm community spirit that defines this town, Scone residents are socially active.
Whether you're hosting friends who've come to visit your new country life or preparing for a special event, we'll make sure your home is guest-ready.

What Makes Scone Stand Out:
The Horse Capital of Australia – Scone is world-renowned for housing one of the largest concentrations of thoroughbred studs on the planet. The equestrian industry is woven into the town's identity, celebrated annually with the Scone Horse Festival that draws visitors from across the country.
Tree-Change Magnet – Scone is attracting an increasing number of families and professionals from Sydney and beyond who are seeking escape from metropolitan stress. The town offers space, tranquility, and community spirit that helps newcomers genuinely relax and feel better—creating powerful word-of-mouth as happy residents tell their friends.
Diverse Economic Base – Beyond horses, Scone benefits from thriving mining, agriculture, and value-add agribusiness sectors, providing robust job opportunities and economic stability. Many residents maintain careers with manageable regional commutes to surrounding industrial centres.
Quality of Life That's Tangible – Residents speak of "the simple pleasures": parking right outside shops, never hearing frustrated car horns, seeing stars at night thanks to minimal light pollution, and raising families in a genuinely safe, welcoming environment.
Large Properties and Space – Scone offers generous block sizes and acreage properties, giving residents room to stretch out and enjoy rural life however they choose—whether that's horses, gardens, hobby farms, or simply space to breathe.
Premium Local Amenities – Reputable schools like Scone Grammar and Scone Public School, essential healthcare at Scott Memorial Hospital, boutique shops, heritage buildings, and strong community facilities make Scone an excellent choice for families and professionals.
Natural Beauty Gateway – Located near Barrington Tops National Park and Lake Glenbawn, with scenic countryside all around, Scone offers stunning landscapes and outdoor recreation opportunities.
