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.

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. Convenient location close to walking tracks, quiet and inviting. Very helpful and prompt communications from a very kind host.

Beautiful, well positioned and well maintained cottage - highly recommend it.
We had an amazing stay at Poet's Cottage! Everything about the stay was well thought out - from the clear instructions to the detailed information regarding the property and local attractions. The property was super clean and well equipped with everything that you need for a great stay. We would definitely stay there again!
A great find in a good location for hiking in the Blue mountains.
The cottage feels like home from the moment you open the front door.

Very nice property
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the poets cottage! Really beautiful location, very tranquil and also very comfortable with well equipped kitchen and spacious bedrooms. Would highly recommend it!
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.
What a gorgeous cottage. A perfect size for 2 couples, well equipped with lovely linen and towels and everything you would need in the kitchen. Surrounded by beautiful gardens and access to a lovely bush walk to Conservation Hut and Emerald Falls.
Highly recommend this beautiful cottage.
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
A beautiful cosy home. We had a lovely time. Everything as described. Central heating and gas fireplace made for a very comfortable get away in the middle of winter. Great communication by host. We will be back next year hopefully!!
Beautiful restful accommodation in an idyllic setting
Stayed with friends here for a few days and it was perfect …. Clean , comfortable , beautiful home with all you need. We were not far from from the falls , perfect walks through magnificent scenery , great cafes in Wentworth falls . Sophie was only a message away from taking care of any needs.
Beautifully appointed house with a gorgeous backyard!
Such a lovely house with everything you need. Comfy beds, modern kitchen with everything you need, two full bathrooms, and a beautiful back room. So very relaxing sitting on the couch and staring out into the beautiful leafy backyard. Highly recommend it!
Everything contributed toward a great weekend. Thankyou

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!
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.
Beautiful house, surrounded by an absolutely gorgeous garden. We had a wonderful time in this stunning place. Backs onto bushwalking tracks. Sophie the host was extremely helpful, communication was great. The cottage has everything that you need. We all can’t wait to go back, highly recommend.
The place was perfect.
Like a home away from home!
Garden was beautiful too!
If you are thinking of staying here, just do it!!!
Also - coffee and food up the hill at the conservation centre is superb!!! Easy walk there too!
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.
The attention to detail of this property was incredible! Every aspect of the cottage is of the highest quality. It truly is a home away from home! I cannot wait for my next stay!
