About this property

Poet’s Cottage • Poetry, Spa Bath, Stunning Treks

Poet's Cottage is a gorgeous 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom holiday home in the heart of the upper Blue Mountains. A charming retreat for couples, friends and families - just steps away from stunning treks.

Built in 1912 and one of the 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. The cottage accommodates 2 to 7 guests. Children are welcome.

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, friends, 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.

I love travelling but I can't help returning to the majesty of the Blue Mountains for it's stunning views, clean air, peace and tranquilty.

Why they chose this property

Poet's Cottage has been in my family since the early 1980s. It belonged to my late father who was a celebrated local writer and poet. The bushland diagonally opposite the cottage was named in his honour. Inspired by the incredible beauty of the Blue Mountains, he moved to Poet's Cottage from Sydney to write full time.
