Perfect for a family weekend away. Only wish was for the garden to be fully enclosed so the dog could enjoy the holiday as much as us. Would recommend still - very comfortable and well appointed
Beautiful property and nice design of house to enable family to hang out together but also have private spaces. Great location for us. Very comfortable.
lovely home away from home... centrally located a short drive into the town of katoomba. had everything that we needed and was spotless on arrival. wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
The property was in such a convenient location. There was more than enough space for all of us (even our dog who loved the front yard!). It was very easy for us the check-in and navigate ourselves with all the amenities we needed. Will definitely stay again 👍
Place for a great retreat at Blue Mountains area, a hidden treasure
Spacious house for six of us and 2 dogs. Huge yard for the dogs to run around and explore.Walkable distance to Katoomba Street where the shops and restaurants are. Close to proximity to Echo Point, hiking and sight-seeing lookouts.Great customer service too.A miss cannot miss if you are staying at Blue Mountain area.

Sheralyn (property manager) was an absolute star with communication and going above and beyond when listing items were not available as advertised. She did her best with what she had and although we didn't get what we required for our first night of stay, she did everything possible to make sure we were taken care of. If it wasn't for her work, outsourcing and even giving us her personal items, I would have given this listing a lower score for the fact that listed items were not provided.
Landscaping of the property was outstanding with many outdoor spaces to utilise.
Beautiful light filled open plan living, kitchen and dining area.
Dishwasher was smelly and could have done with a clean, and fan and heat light in ensuite bathroom wasn't working.
Otherwise, a perfect location with nearby walks and lookouts and minutes drive away from Leura village and Katoomba town.
We arrived on the 23rd December and departed on the 27th December. On arrival lawns, hedging and flowerbeds totally overgrown with plants growing up through the decking under the dining table,I was later told by the property manager the gardens are done twice a year. There were dirty very greasy baking pans in the kitchen drawers, cobwebs on the inside of the dirty windows and under the couches was very dusty with some dead small creatures. I was told that if I had reported this on arrival they would have sorted it all out even though it was Christmas Eve. I did ring them on Christmas Eve as we were unable to get the television to work and was told they would get someone out in 48 hours, as we did not want to spend our short stay waiting in we told them not to bother as we would use our laptop. The other things were not noticed immediately. I did speak to the property manager who said he would send me an email but he never did. I paid over $700 per night and expected the property to be as described online, it most certainly wasn’t.
I now expect to be told it was all my fault as I didn’t fully inspect the property on arrival whereas I thought it was their job to inspect it BEFORE my arrival.

We are sorry to hear about your disappointing experience during your recent stay at our property. Please accept our apologies for the issues you encountered upon arrival. Your feedback is important to us, and we take it seriously. We understand your frustration with the overgrown gardens, dirty kitchen items, cobwebs, and dust, as well as the inconvenience of the television issue. During this time of year due to the rain / humidity the gardens do grow very quickly as do the cobwebs reappear within 24 hours but we do our best to stay on top of them, given the weather conditions. Rest assured, we are taking steps to rectify these issues and prevent similar occurrences in the future. Please reach out to us directly as we would like to welcome you back at a discounted rate at another date. With thanks - Blue Mountains Escapes
