Right from the start when booking Amy- the host was wonderful! Great open and clear communication and a pressure to liaise and correspond with. The homestead “Glen Isla” was equally as wonderful and had such attention to detail with the charm of a beautiful historic and lovingly restored home. There was nothing one could want for- everything was there and more! The hosts had auch attention to detail and thoughtfulness to make the stay truly special and memorable. Glen Isla is highly recommended and I will be letting my friends know how wonderful it is and should be a “must stay!” for anyone visiting Wentworth Falls!!

Glen Isla was the perfect spot for our family Christmas celebrations!! We were surprised by how well-equipped it was with heaps of plates, serving utensils and the hardest working (and highly effective!) dishwasher. The beds were super comfy and everyone had their own space while still spending quality time together playing boardgames around the dining table and watching the cricket. The kids thought the garden was full of fairies and we were delighted by visiting black cocktaoos, kookaburras and king parrots throughout our stay. We took advantage of the location to go for lovely walks. A truly unforgettable Christmas at Glen Isla.

80th birthday celebration

good size property for the 11 family members who stayed. Good quality bed linen and beds. Felt the house was looking a little tired, maybe a coat of paint would freshen it up Kitchen was well stocked with crockery and cookware. We all enjoyed our stay.

Proximity to Wentworth Falls walking tracks

A lovely, spacious, well equipped house. Perfect for 60+ year olds. A bonus was its proximity to walking tracks and a beautiful gallery. Lush surrounds. April a good time to visit as the sun is still warm. One fridge was not sufficient for a group of 8.

Amazing Stay !!!

We recently stayed at Glen Isla House for a family birthday and had a fabulous time. The house and grounds are completely charming and had everything we needed for a great weekend. The house is in a great location, very close to the Falls and is well appointed with comfy beds, a fully equipped kitchen, ducted heating and excellent stereo (good cd collection too!) just to name a few! The billiard table and dart board were a big hit with the family. The owner Amy is really lovely, so helpful, easy going and nice to talk to. We had a wonderful stay and for anyone looking at staying in the Blue Mountains I highly recommend this property. We are looking forward to another stay in the future.

Gorgeous cottage

We absolutely loved our stay here. Owners were fantastic to deal with. Cottage was very clean, well equipped and the location was incredible. Only oversight by us is that we didn’t realise until we arrived that the kids room is actually external from the main house (separate entrance to the cottage, not inside and upstairs like I thought). Our primary school aged children were too young to sleep in this space alone as there is no access directly from the house without walking outside and at night that is not ideal. This meant we had to change our sleeping arrangements to accommodate. Otherwise, this property was perfect.

Great Location and beautiful home and gardens

We stayed at Glen IsIa for a few days and thought the home was a great getaway for our family of 7. Plenty of sleeping options and the kids enjoyed a few games of pool in the garage. The home is close to the Blue Mountains attractions and we enjoyed a good meal just up the road at the bowling club.

Hi I'm Amy. I'm a professional photographer, Mum of 3, and lover of historic houses. I bought Glen Isla 10 years ago and have been proud to share her special history and charm with all our guests over the past decade.

Why they chose this property

Glen Isla is a unique weatherboard in the Blue Mountains. Originally built as a letting house back in 1885 it has been painstakingly restored to its original beauty. It's located in a whisper quiet location a short flat walk to all the best bushwalking in the Blue Mountains, yet only 10 minutes drive to Leura and Katoomba and all the local tourist attractions. It truly is a special place to be to soak up all that the Mountains has to offer.

What makes this property unique

Accommodation for groups of friends or families. Glen Isla is the perfect place to get everyone together and enjoy special moments.
