This is a beautiful home with plenty of room but still cosy, I had the perfect bed and we enjoyed an awesome view, peace and quiet, fresh cool air with all the luxuries we needed. The home is well kept and the family enjoyed tbe sauna and hot tub. I was impressed by the hosts warm welcome and down to earthiness. We really did not want to leave. We will book again but for longer next time.

Cosy get-away

This cosy get-away was perfect for my family! Being surrounded by trees and having a lovely view of the mountains, it really felt like we were away from everything, which is exactly what we wanted! Was also very close to town so very convenient. Would definitely stay here again.

Mountain Magic

We loved our recent stay at this older style home set in beautiful bushland.The property was clean, confortable and conveniently located a short drive from the great cafes, restaurants and shops at Blackheath village. The amazing view from the back verandah of Govett's Leap made this our favourite place for morning cups of tea and wine at dusk. The fireplace also made evenings very cosy. Kim was a great host - friendly and responsive.

Did the job well

Great location overlooking the mountains. Kim is great to work with. Could have been 5⭐ but for a few things. Great selection of wine and spirit glasses, but more everyday drinking glasses would help. Whilst really flexible sleep arrangements there is room to improve quality of a couple mattresses. Handled the cold well, but would suggest space heaters in each bedroom rather than the fan heaters (and perhaps electric blankets 😀). All-in-all we had a great weekend with our grown up family. And would be happy to recommend this Stayz and would happily return.

Not what it seems

Booked for 4 adults ( Mum's weekend away) because the property had 4 rooms and we could each have our own room. When we arrived 2 rooms were locked including the ensuite. We contacted the owner who organised a cleaner to come and open the rooms . The only way she would do this is we paid for another extra 5 guests that did not exist. Because the house sleeps 9 the only way to use all bedrooms is to pay for 9 people regardless of how many people you have booked for. Very expensive, not worth the money.

Response from VrboOwner on 20 Mar 2023

Dear Samantha, My apologies for the fact that our rate is based on the number of visitors. We are very happy with your stay and would like to welcome you back. Please kindly accept our offer for your next booking, if it is possible, a free night with all the rooms opened. We hope you have a wonderful getaway whenever you need in Blue Mountains. My best regards, Kim
