A traditional, comfortable home from home.

We spent a fe ays in the Blue Mountains in the winter. The property was in a fantastic location and was lovely and warm. It was very clean and felt like a more traditional family home than a holiday rental, which is just what we wanted. I would highly recommend!

Comfortable home . Well appointed

Good hearing throughout , comfortable bed and lounge area , well stocked kitchen and welcome gift appreciated . Needs new cookware and range hood did not work . Beware driveway which is tricky - on a hill so difficulties expected Located between Katoomba and Leura so not particularly central . One noisy neighbours banging around at all hours .

Hi YW - Thanks for the review, and we are pleased you had a great stay. Driveway - we shared instructions on the driveway ahead of your stay and the ramp (maybe you missed this email) Neighbours are always very quiet, and we haven't had any issues in over 3 years. Kitchen - is fully stocked with lots of supplies
