Poet’s Cottage • Fireplace, Spa Bath + Scenic Treks

Poet's Cottage is a luxurious 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom holiday home in the heart of the upper Blue Mountains. A charming retreat for couples, friends and families.

Built in 1912 and one of the very first cottages in the area, Poet's Cottage is located on the edge of the beautiful Valley of the Waters in historic Wentworth Falls - a 5-minute drive from beautiful Leura Village.

This stylishly restored and extended 112-year-old property offers the best of both worlds - tranquility and quiet away from tourist crowds yet the attractions of Leura and Katoomba are just a quick drive away.

Self-contained, with plenty of pampering comforts, the cottage offers an open-plan lounge and dining area with a freestanding gas log fireplace and a chef's style kitchen. Snuggle up in the three bedrooms with two queen beds, one king single bed and two single beds.

Watch honey-eaters sip flower nectar while relaxing on your entertainment deck, or wander through the large garden before enjoying the beauty of the world heritage-listed Blue Mountains National Park, which backs directly onto the property. Then return to the cottage for a pampering spa.

Poet's Cottage is ideal for couples, families, trekkers, nature and bird enthusiasts.

For a romantic, adventurous or family getaway of simple elegance and comfort, spoil yourself and enjoy all the Blue Mountains has to offer.

We have been operating as a holiday rental since 2013 and have been multi-awarding winning across several booking platforms.

Extras:
- We regret that weddings cannot be accommodated
- Guests are refrained from smoking indoors or in the garden due to its proximity to bushland and the World Heritage National Park.
- In Autumn and Winter (May to November) warm outdoor clothing is advisable as temperatures can be up to 10 degrees cooler than Sydney.

Perfect house for a get together in the mountains.

The house and garden were beautiful. It couldn’t have been better and the house had everything we needed. We very much appreciated how spotlessly clean and comfortable the place was. Thank you so much.

Rural break during Sydney holiday

The property is exactly as described. It is so well thought out and has everything that you could possibly need and more. Contact with Sophia was excellent too, timely responses to every enquiry.Plenty of opportunities in the local area to keep teenagers entertained also, in particular abseiling and canyoning at high and wild

Perfect home away from home

We (7 adults) spent 3 nights in Wentworth Falls for an annual bushwalking trip, and were delighted with all aspects of the property. It is a beautifully maintained house with a well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and quality bed and bath linen; handy essential and extra pantry items; an idyllic garden with private outside eating area; walking tracks from the back door, and a 15 minute walk into town and train station. Would definitely return for a family holiday as well as another "glamping" trip!

Clean & comfortable in a great location

Loved our stay at Poet's cottage. The cottage was perfect & everything we needed was there. It was exactly the type of accommodation you want in the Blue Mountains. The cottage is set in beautiful gardens next door to the National Park with walking tracks galore right at the back gate. Only negative is the towels could do with replacing, they were very thin & perhaps the TV could be upgraded, it's very small. The first game of the NRL season was on the night we arrived with my husbands team playing. He was disappointed he couldn't see it properly without sitting right in front of it.

Lovely Cottage in great location

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful cottage. My husband is a wheelchair user and was able access the property using a small portable ramp that we bought with us to get up the step at the front of the property. Whilst he could use the toilet, he wasn’t able to access the shower. To make this property completely wheelchair accessible the owner could make a few easy changes such as removing the shower screen and just having a roll in shower. Otherwise the property was beautiful and the communication with the property manager excellent.

Perfect, Tranquil Poet’s Cottage

This is the most beautiful property in a quiet part of the mountains and our love of Poet’s Cottage has now brought us there twice, with plans for another stay in 2020. Sophia is the “dream” property manager, who communicates regularly to ensure everything is running smoothly. The cottage is tastefully decorated, has a really well-appointed kitchen, and provides a peaceful and relaxing backdrop to a weekend in the mountains. The garden is equally beautiful and a lovely place to sit with a cuppa or a glass of wine! Love this place - we’ll be back! Robyn, Kellie and Sandy
