We were delighted with the house which presented even better than the photos. It was warm and cosy and the kitchen was so well equipped we ate in every night. The house is beautifully presented over all and was a luxury stay. Within easy walking distance of the shops and plenty of street parking. I highly recommend this property for a visit.
Lovely historic cottage with excellent facilities, well appointed. Great central heating + fireplace. Very good location close to Leura shops and walks at Gordons Falls. Linen and towels excellent quality, kitchen had everything you could need and well stocked with board games for cosy nights by the fire.
Three friends thoroughly enjoyed our weekend away. Cottage is clean & warm. Kitchen was well stocked with all utensils required. Charming cottage. Thank you.
The house was charming, well appointed and very comfortable.
Unfortunately there was a strong musty mouldy odour in the house and the window panes above the bedroom doors appeared to have mould. I hope this can be rectified.
The property was easy to access & spotlessly clean. Heating was efficient and easy. It's a long walk or a quick drive to the Leura shops, and easy access to the walking paths. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
As a family, we stay in hotels when visiting the mountains, but I wanted more freedom and was excited to find this gorgeous cottage. A fantastic location, lovely and quiet. I have two kids, 9 and 13 years old, and they loved the space. The proximity to Leura shops was convenient for groceries, and the kitchen was excellent to cook meals in. We loved finding walks to do, coming back for lunch, then heading out for another adventure. This cottage really gave the three of us the most relaxing and comfortable little getaway. We will certainly be coming back again next year. It really did feel like a home away from home!
Very comfortable, genuine attempt to keep the quintessential feel of a Blue Mts cottage, but with modern comforts, such as heated bathroom floor. Position ideal, close to views and park at Gordon Falls and the shops in Leura Mall.
