House is quite tired and in need of some TLC. The backyard was in need of a mow

Thank you, Jacinta, for letting us know about the hot water issue following the storm and temporary power outage after your departure.
The hot water system has a panel controller, and simply switching it back on should restore the hot water supply. We’re sorry for the inconvenience caused. If you had contacted us at the time, we would have been more than happy to assist you straight away.
Overall the stay here was enjoyable. The location is very convenient for a lot of sightseeing spots in Katoomba and within walking distance to the main town centre. The house was nicely decorated and clean. The lounges were very low for a few of the older guests staying here. The stairs down to the backyard from the deck were also quite steep and the top stair is narrower than the rest so can be a bit dangerous.Due to negligence of previous people staying here (leaving cooked bones in the backyard, etc) the place is not pet safe. One of our dogs had a serious medical issue from ingesting something that was left by someone staying here previously that cut our stay short.

Thank you Hannah for choosing Sunshine Cottage for your Blue Mountains holiday. I’m very glad to hear that you enjoyed the location, cleanliness, and overall presentation of the house.
At the same time, I would like to sincerely apologise for the distressing medical episode involving your dog. I was very concerned to read this, and I am truly sorry that your stay had to be cut short as a result. The safety of our guests, including their pets, is extremely important to us, and I regret that this experience did not meet that expectation.
We take your feedback very seriously. Following your comments, I will remind my cleaners of a thorough inspection and clean-up of the outdoor areas to ensure no hazardous items remain.
Once again, I am very sorry for what happened and hope that your dog has recovered well. We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve, and we would welcome the opportunity to host you again under better circumstances in the future.
We enjoyed our short stay at Sunshine Cottage. It was close walking distance to the 3 Sisters as well as Katoomba village. The rooms were comfortable, we had excellent WiFi access and used the smart TV and Netflix. the kitchen was well equipped and the deck was lovely and sunny in the afternoon of our second day. On the first day it was cold and rainy but the cottage was perfect for this as we lit a fire and enjoyed the warmth on an unseasonably cold day. We'll be back!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the convenient location and had a great time hiking in the Blue Mountain. It was a pleasure to host you, and we hope to welcome you back soon for another fantastic stay!
There were 5 of us traveling and loved the location. The home was clean and had the basics. We walked to many things as the location is prime. We did several day trips from here as well. Great times had by all!
Our family was only able to stay one night in this adorable little house, which was in a cute neighborhood. The house was fairly easy to find and was clean, although a bit sparse (I like things on the homey side). It was very cold when we arrived, but after turning on the heating it warmed up enough. The house is fairly close to hiking and restaurants, but there are a lot of hills so just keep that in mind.

Hi Chris,
We're sorry to hear that you were only able to stay for one night due to your flight delay. Despite the short visit, we're glad to know you had a pleasant stay.
This cottage was perfect for our 2 night stay. It's got everything we needed with an excellent location and was very clean and tidy.
Highly recommended.
Thanks 😊

Lovely property, refreshingly pet friendly. Great communication from owners. Well appointed kitchen and comfortable bedrooms. Great location - short walk one way to Katoomba, the other to Echo Point. Highly recommend.

Thank you for your kind review! We're delighted you enjoyed the property and appreciated its pet-friendly nature. It's wonderful to hear that the house met your expectations, and that you loved the convenient location. We look forward to hosting you again!
The cottage is in a great location and is walkable to the local shops, restaurants, and tourist sites. The house is cute, comfortable, and large enough for three couples. We would book it again.
This property is a very cozy little cottage. Well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The house is appropriately heated for the cold katoomba winters. Great location. Close to all major attractions. Definitely recommend.

Thank you Vicki for taking your time and leaving such a lovely review. Hope to see you again soon.
Overall a very good experience. Central heating and electric bankers very handy as well as two full bathrooms. Big problem with combustion fire place. There is no seal on the door, could smell smoke in the living room, so quite dangerous.

Thank you for your feedback and for bringing this to our attention. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience with the fireplace. Safety is our top priority, and we will look into it asap. We truly appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again under better circumstances.
Conveniently located close to town centre and attractions, we enjoyed our stay at this peaceful, tidy and cosy cottage.
It would have been even better if there were little touches such as slippers or bathrobes or fire starters
