Fantastic cosy house with everything included!
This fabulous house was perfect for exploring the Blue Mountains. Great location close to the Leura Mall and only a few minutes into Katoomba. House has everything including a coffee machine, electric blankets, heaps of linen, well equipped kitchen and even bird seed for the many birds visiting in the afternoon. Beautiful garden setting. Hope we can come back!

Great place for a girls weekend!
We were thoroughly impressed with how well furnished the place was with everything you needed and added extras (eg bath salts, candles, bird seed to feed the native birds). The location was also excellent - just a short walk into Leura and yet nice and quiet.

LILIAN T., Canberra, ACT Australia

Beautiful house and garden
We had a couple visiting from offshore who wanted to experience the magic of the Blue Mountains – this house played a big part in making this wish come true. The house had an old, elegant but homey feel to it. The kitchen was well stocked, bedrooms comfortable with electric blankets to boot, bathrooms clean and with heating facility, written instructions on the house complete and precise, lots of DVDs on the shelf, free parking passes for Echo Point, and the gardens – the gardens were beautiful! The rear deck afforded a bird’s eye view of the lovely backyard splashed with bright autumn colours. I need to highlight too that the owners have made the booking process, even though it was a last minute booking, such an easy, hassle-free experience. The house comes highly recommended!

A Great Weekend
We had a great weekend away. With 4 adults and 2 children there was plenty of room for us all. The kitchen was well equipped for our needs. The view out the window was lovely even through the constant rain! and the heating nice and cosy. A quiet location but still close to Leura Mall.

Wonderful cottage in the Blue Mountains
Very spacious and well designed cottage with lovely furnishings and a great deck at the rear overlooking the garden and wildlife with an abundance of birds. Well equipped kitchen (and even a coffee capsule machine!) Personal touches throughout making it an absolute gem of a cottage tucked away in the Blue Mountains, easy access to the Highway, Katoomba and all surrounding area. Ideal for families

Wonderful Home away from Home
This property has all the little touches that make it a real home away from home.The pantry had all those little items that you may just need a little bit of such as salt, pepper, oil.There was also a generous supply of toiletries, washing powder and dishwashing liquid so you did not immediately have to run out to the shops. Coffee machine and generous supply of coffee pods as well as milk frother were an added bonus for coffee connoiseurs like us. The home is very comfortable and spacious. The abundant bird life and bush surrounds make it a perfect change from the city. A wonderful base to exolore the beautiful Blue Mountains& Jenolan Caves. Also it was very easy to contact the owners with Wi Fi available.

Our stay was fantastic with the property extremely clean. Plenty of heating, fire was prepared to start and instructions on how to make a fire with kindling and a fire kit with gloves ready to use.Plenty of wood, plenty of rugs, movies, great gardens, pantry and home supplies to get your stay started. The preparation of the cottage for our stay was perfect. The owners were so flexible. We were able to get in early and stay late as no guests either side of our dates which was greatly appreciated.

About the host

Hosted by Trudi & Valerie

Host profile image
I have always loved the Blue Mountains as a child it was very exciting to visit. Having grown up in North Sydney, close to the CBD it was the complete opposite to where I lived. Eventually when it became possible I managed to buy this property with the hope that others may have the opportunity to enjoy the ambience of Bluebell Cottage, the surrounding bush and all the native birds that frequently visit the property. Sometimes the noisy white cockatoos make a bit of a racket but they are so charming with their antics.

Why they chose this property

Bluebell Cottage was currently being built when I purchased it. I fell in love with it as from the whole back section the windows are large and overlook a terraced garden as well as huge mountain trees. The four seasons that we enjoy in Australia come to reality as all the foliage and outlook changes each season. The autumn is splendid when all the trees change into various colors and then drop all their leaves. The spring comes and all new green growth appears all renewed. Summer is much cooler than the city allowing a lot of outdoor activities to occur. Winter is the time to light up our wood fire and turn on the electric blankets. Usually sometime during the winter season we see some snow. Shops in Leura Village are quaint and interesting and great spots to enjoy good food and coffee.

What makes this property unique

I love it because it is spacious, comfortable a lot of our guests comment it is great because the feel so at home. One of our guests described it as being a large tree house sitting in the middle of a lovely garden. Many guests have commented that after a busy day either sightseeing or bush walking find it so relaxing to return home to.
