Perfect Getaway: Ideal Location, Charming House, and Convenient Amenities!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this Vrbo property! The location was ideal, close to major attractions in Katoomba and convenient for shopping. Across the street, there was even a swimming pool for a refreshing dip. The house was well-maintained and had everything one could need. Highly recommend!

Quiet corner

We were looking for a quiet place for Summer School and this worked out well. Once it stopped raining we could use the deck and go for even more walks.

good value!

thanks Steve - our 4th or 5th visit to your cosy front cottage as we caught up with our family in Katoomba. Thanks for welcoming our little dog also - we enjoyed our walks around the gully - a great location and very reasonably priced - hope to be back in the winter sometime.

A wonderful home away from home with all the extras. A big thumbs up from the whole family!

We had such a wonderful stay! The cottage had everything we needed for our winter stay, plus so much more! The kids loved the electric blankets, the fireplace and NETFLIX! The location was perfect too. In walking distance to the main strip, but a nice quiet street. We enjoyed many of the beautiful walking tracks in the area too. Thank you so much Stephen, the kids are already asking to go back!

Having never been to the Blue Mountains, my partner wanted to experience the area. The property was in a good location and Stephen was a great communicator. Bed was comfy. It was compact in design but had all that we required

Comfortable, cozy and clean

Our stay at the front cottage was very comfortable and enjoyable. It’s cosy, with plenty of room in the bedrooms and bathroom. Light and bright, with super-comfortable beds and efficient heating. Steve was great to deal with and responded promptly to my enquiries. Everything we needed was there. Recommended

Pet Friendly cozy accommodation

Host sent through all important information of the property weeks out from our check in date and assisted with providing places to eat out on Xmas day. They were able to let me know that we could check in before 2pm. Parking right outside the door - easy to unpack /pack the car. Lovely cosy accommodation with all the comforts of home. Great paths to walk the dog and there is a new aquatic centre at the end of the road. Town centre and all attractions are within 5min drive. Will definitely stay here again!

Cozy Mountain Stay

We loved our time here. Short walk to the Main Street. A good base if you’re in to hiking and seeing the surrounding areas. The cottage was perfect for us and our little pup. We had everything we needed, everything well taken care of and a lovely spot to relax after a day of exploring.

Ravissant petit cottage dans quartier très calme

Ce cottage est très bien conçu, avec une petite terrasse ombragée. Très propre, très confortable. Le propriétaire est très réactif. La literie est très confortable. Très bien placé, au vert, à 10 minutes à pied du centre ville et 10 minutes en voiture de Écho Point. Je recommande vivement
