Family gathering for wedding
The perfect place for particular people. Eleven adults stayed for four nights and were delighted with the choice.The house is beautifully presented and very comfortably furnished, with plenty of room to cook, gather around the table or find a quieter spot to read in. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, and beds are fresh and comfy. 10/10 for cleanliness throughout.We all loved our stay here. It’s close to shopping, dining and tourist sights. Plenty of parking on site.Thankyou for providing such a lovely experience.

A fabulous stay
We had five older couples and each couple loved having their own ensuite. One room upstairs and rest on the ground floor. Great pillows, linen and towels. Very easy to leave clean and tidy ready for the cleaners. A small kitchenette in the single bedroom had a second smaller fridge and another microwave.Plenty of space for all and close to everything. Two minutes in the car to the Three Sisters as well as Aldi and Woolworths and close to lots more.We loved the private carpark at the back with plenty of space for all our cars. It needs a guest book with all the info in one place including heating instructions etc. rather than rely on emails so all guests can refer to the instructions at any time.I usually only book places with hand-hold showers (mobility issues but also great with small kids) so a few showers converted from rainheads to hand hold would be fabulous but that's just being picky.A great stay and I'll be re-booking soon for next year.

We had a wonderful time staying at Mary Villa. The house is gorgeous with bathrooms attached to every bedroom. My entire family of 10 stayed and it was perfect. We were able to walk to the Katoomba falls and other amazingly scenic locations. . Also great cafes nearby for really good coffee. Loved it !

Watch the cost
We had a wonderful stay at Mary Villa and found the Accommodated team easy to deal with except on one issue. The bond is treated as an actual fee and attracts a 2.9% transaction fee. Accommodated won't budge on refunding this charge. They are not open to other payment methods as it does not suit their business model - not what we would call user-friendly

A pleasurable stay
Mary Villa was comfortable, spacious, clean and easy. There was everything we needed in the kitchen. The house was warm, the beds were comfortable and the location was superb, easy access to restaurants and shops with a car or on foot. We were 12 adults and there were plenty of beds and bathrooms.

Great Venue
Mary Villa was a very comfortable and spacious venue for our reunion. On line photos etc gave a good indication of the facilities and accommodation. Our group of older citizens found that the individual ensuites for each bedroom were a wonderful innovation
We appreciated that many consumables were provided, in kitchen and ensuites, for our stay.
One suggestion is that more hanging space, for clothes, in some of the bedrooms would be handy.
We reported a trip hazard at the entrance to the kitchen which they are investigating.
