About this property

Poet’s Cottage • Spa Bath, Fireplace, Best 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 114-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.

Sophia has gone out of her way to make sure guests have all they need for a hassle free stay. Wonderful communication upon booking and as the day of our stay arrived. The property and its surrounds are impeccable. I highly recommend this for a couple-or in our case - 2 couples exploring the Blue Mountains.

Perfect house for a get together in the mountains.

Poet’s cottage was the highlight of our trip! The home was clean, beautifully appointed and thoughtfully equipped. We had everything we needed - from fans, air conditioning, to washing powder and toilet paper - nothing was lacking. The care taker and owner were both very responsive and resolved any of our questions or requests promptly and courteously. Poet’s Cottage will be our first preference at the Blue Mountains from now on! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

There was so much to like about this property. Lots of lively little touches that shows a lot of love has been invested in the home. Great heating system meant we were cozy in the winter chill.

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.
