Reviews
We loved every minute!
Jane B - 24th November 2023The location was really beautiful, peaceful, spacious and luxurious. All our needs were met and more!
Perfect location!
Marion Grunert - 30th October 2023The property was super comfortable and clean. Some of the best walks are virtually right outside the property and it’s practically perfect for dog walks/hikes. Town is relatively close, but it’s also nice to just get takeaway and enjoy the upstairs area as the last rays of light disappear over the beautiful view. The bed was amazingly comfortable also, we had the best sleeps.
Had a really great stay at this property
Gary Eisner - 2nd October 2023We are a family of 4 plus a large dog and there was plenty of space for all. The house is really well stocked, you don't need to bring anything except for dog bowls and food (human and canine). The views are really nice too. The backyard is fully fenced and is spacious too. There is a dog friendly walk 100m from the property too (as long as you don't mind a bit of a descent followed by an ascent. Overall, this is great pet friendly stay that is close to Katoomba and really quiet. Highly recommend
We loved it so much, we’re already talking about a return visit
Michelle Clough - 29th May 2023This property is superb! Two nights just wasn’t enough! Lovely bedrooms, bathrooms, lounge rooms, kitchen and dining rooms. So much packed into one house. The outlook is stunning; the area is stunning, and the location was perfect for everything we wanted to do including the Jenolan Caves, and abseiling at Katoomba. A fantastic BBQ and cooking facilities make it an overall perfect experience, but there’s also superb dining options in close proximity. We asked for a couple of considerations, and the generosity of the host was outstanding. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there, and will definitely be back.
Wish we stayed longer
Reece Hepi - 28th May 2023Heaters were left on for us as we arrived, Amazing location to watch the sunset from the upstairs living room, great space to get away and relax as area is very peaceful, Great value for money, Provided with all supplies for the fire pit, Kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms, Tv has Netflix and YouTube, Overall lovely stay would definitely stay here a second time. 10/10
