    Mintie Cottage - Charming 3 Bedroom Federation Cottage, Easy Stroll to Leura

    MINTIE COTTAGE

    Mintie Cottage was originally built and owned by James Stedman in 1916 who famously created the confectionary Minties and affectionately named their home after the sweet.

    Steeped in Australian history, Mintie Cottage is nestled within an old-world cottage garden of herbs, flowers, and fruit trees that is conveniently positioned on Leura Mall.

    This majestic residence offers all the features of a classic mountain home that is rich in traditional detail with elegant finishes throughout and occupies approximately 790sqm of superb level grounds set privately from the road. A premier location only minutes on foot to Leura village and major sightseeing attractions.

    This home is ideal for small to medium group accommodation for family and friends or couples looking for generous space. It consists of three comfortable bedrooms, with stylish queen bed, double bed and two singles, plus a single day bed in the sunroom. Quality hotel linen and towels are also provided.

    Mintie Cottage is the definition of upmarket traditional mountain living and sets itself apart through its dedication to elegant entertaining, re-invigorating and intimate relaxing.

    In the prestigious Leura Mall, Mintie Cottage is a short walk from the historic Everglades Gardens and Leura Golf Course. Nearby, Sublime Point, Golf Links Lookout, Gordon Falls Walks and Leura Cascades all offer pristine escarpment walks, rainforests, cascading waterfalls and spectacular views. Also only minutes away, the historic Leura Village charms with quality restaurants and cafes, galleries, shops, arts and crafts, and boutiques.

    Just gorgeous!
    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!
