I’ve been coming to the Blue Mountains with a group of friends for years now and I can confidently say this was one of the best places we have ever stayed. The house was absolutely spotless and extremely well equip for our group. Has absolutely everything you would need for a holiday. Check in process was a breeze and the views were incredible. Can’t recommend it enough. Will definitely stay here again in the future.

Overall, we loved staying here and would gladly do it again. The only downsides were that the coffee machine took some time to work out, as did the front door, and large groups may run out of dining chairs.

Extended family get-away
A great property. The four kids (8-12) loved the downstairs bedrooms with the low beds and the outside area. The other bedrooms were well appointed and comfortable and bathrooms fine. Our hosts were very generous with shampoo, coffee etc and the containers and glad wrap were a bonus. The view from the upstairs lounge was stunning. The dining table was fantastic for a group of 10 both for eating and playing board games. Sorry to say however, that the SMEG appliances didn't all pass the test. Fridge was small for ten and hard to open. Care has to be taken with very hot tap water and the jug can short out power if even slightly overfilled. Heating was great and we had a fabulous family time that included several BBQ's and an open fire in the provided pit. A great stay!
