A last minute booking to work on a property we own in the area. Couldn’t have been better. Easy to check in, no fuss, super clean and lovely bedding. Really nicely decorated and in a quiet pocket of Katoomba. Would happily stay again and think we probably will! Thanks to the hosts.
It's always a delight to stay at the Blue Cottage. We've been so many times it feels like a 2nd home. I had an accident while I was holidaying, end ended up in hospital until 4am, but the host was so lovely and responded to my text immediately to confirm the cottage was available to stay another night. It was a relief to know I could relax, and the extended stay has made me want to stay longer next time too!
We had a wonderful stay! The property is conveniently located near Echo Point and the town, making it an ideal base for exploring the area. The host thoughtfully provided firewood and kindling, which came in handy on a rainy and chilly summer evening. The space is perfectly suited for four guests, with comfortable furnishings and a dining table designed for that capacity. We appreciated the charming collection of art and furniture, and the small office desk was a bonus for remote work.

This was my 2nd time staying here. It’s such a beautiful cottage. The furniture and decor are gorgeous, and it’s such a relaxing place to stay. The rooms are large, and there’s a huge sofa to relax. Having 2 bathrooms is great too. There are wonderful plants filling the huge backyard, many of which I’ve never seen before. I highly recommend staying at the Tranquil Blue Cottage.
My partner and I spent a wonderful weekend at the cottage. I ran the UTMB 22km trail run on the Friday and spent the remainder of the weekend relaxing in the cottage and enjoying the local area. The cottage is extremely comfortable and our chocolate Labrador enjoyed it immensely as well.
I holiday at this cottage twice a year, and it’s always outstanding. In summer there’s outdoor seating and a large umbrella on the deck, and a huge backyard with so many beautiful flowers I’ve never seen living in Sydney. In Autumn, there’s nothing better than making dinner in the full size kitchen, then curling up on the soft couch, draped in one of the blankets available at the cottage, and watching the fire. And the autumn leaves at the cottage, and all over the Blue Mountains are breathtaking! The location is very convenient - the main street of Katoomba is only a few minutes away, and it takes no time to get to Leura. Despite that, the street is so quiet. Other than the birds, there’s wonderful silence. Wendy and Wayne are lovely, and very responsive to contact. I can’t recommend this cottage highly enough.
Had a lovely stay. The location is an easy walk to echo point. The house was charming and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Would highly recommend.
This 2 bedroom cottage is within walking distance of Echo Point and the 3 sisters. It is cosy and warm. It has most everything you would need for a stay. We all enjoyed our visit.

I booked a 3 night winter getaway with my 16yo daughter, her friend and our dog. The girls were instantly smitten with the cottage and it's setting and had given it 5 star rating by the end of the trip!
Gorgeous, character-filled home in a peaceful and convenient location. Would definitely stay again.

Such a gorgeous cottage!! The interior is absolutely stunning, and the garden and yard are beautiful. So many different flowers - all stunning!! Only a few minutes drive to the centre of Katoomba for groceries, and a short drive to the 3 sisters and Leura. Will absolutely stay again.
We loved staying at Blue Cottage - close to everything (notably great walks, the 3 Sisters, lookouts, the sky cable car and many great fine dining restaurants) but also a lovely quiet neighbourhood. Wayne and Wendy have the cottage equipped with everything needed. We would readily stay there again. Highly recommended!
Had a wonderful stay with my partner and our dog . House was well equipped and clean upon arrival. Generous light coming through during the day and heavy curtains were appreciated for those cold evenings. We couldn’t fault the property - fully fenced property perfect for those dogs that like to escape, plenty of heating available (fireplace, floor vents in all rooms that allow central heating to quickly heat the home), beds and pillows comfortable, nespresso machine available, kitchen fit our with more than enough utensils, glasses and crockery and our favourite, a beautiful porch that gets flooded with sun !!
Highly recommend for a weekend away.
complicated experience with Stayz all this haveing to have user names ,passwords etc .
great little property , but found certain things lacking ,might seem small but contributed to the feeling that it was overpriced.
will contact owner/ manager direct with a list.

Its was ok
Stayz says check in at 2pm. We got there at 2pm to find a few gardeners and cleaning staff preparing the property. I messaged the owner and he said that's incorrect, its 3pm but wouldn't let us check out late in compensation. The ad says bedroom 1 has a double and double futon but there was no double futon at all - owner offered a rollaway bed for an extra fee. The couch was a bit too dirty (old stains), no fire wood provided because it's not winter? For over 500 a night we should've at been allowed to leave later
There is an extra charge for those with animals when renting But when we got home, there was dog hair everywhere. The house was said to be for 5 people, but they made one bed on the floor, it was very bad. And they took as much money from us as from the other bed. Consider these before renting.
