Sweet little hideaway

Everything was provided and then some. Although in the hosts backyard, we had complete privacy. The host went over and above in providing luxuries. The bed clothes were extra warm and comfortable. Only negative was a noisy air con unit.

Short break in Leura

Well appointed cabin with all the necessities and beautifully maintained . Very comfortable beds ,snug and warm with electric blanket , a column heater and air conditioner if required. Adequate kitchen ( well stocked with crockery and cutlery) and a clean well kept bathroom. Mary, our host was very friendly and insightful with her requirements for our stay. Would recommend this property to all, except people with mobility issues, as it’s a steep walk up to the cabin if you have problems in this regard.

Comfy, cute, compact, perfect for a couple of days

Although the cottage is small it is really beautifully appointed with everything we needed for our 2 night stay. We were out walking in the gorgeous Blue Mountains NP during the day so really only there to sleep, shower, breakfast so weren’t bothered by the size. Beds are really comfy and warm, heating effective, lovely gardens. TV, internet, good shower. Close to the main residence but we didn’t really see anyone. Conveniently located just off the highway, easy connections for onward journey. Good pizza at the nearby pub. Immaculate and tasteful with lovely gardens. If you don’t need much space it's a bit of a gem.

Charming cottage retreat

Our stay at this adorable cottage was absolutely delightful! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the warmth of the cozy heater, perfect for those chilly evenings. The cottage itself was incredibly comfy, with all the amenities we needed for a relaxing getaway. One of the highlights was definitely the beautiful garden surrounding the property. It provided a picturesque backdrop for morning coffees. The tranquility of the garden added an extra layer of relaxation to our stay. Another plus was the convenience of transportation. While the cottage provided a serene escape from the hustle and bustle, we appreciated that it was just a short Uber ride away from Katoomba. Plus, at only $15, it was a budget-friendly option. Overall, our experience at this cottage was nothing short of wonderful. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a charming retreat in the Blue Mountains!
