Lovely cottage with a beautiful, sunny backyard. It was well heated and equipped and met all of our expectations during our 4 night stay. The cottage is ideally located within walking distance to Katoomba shops, the Three Sisters, and several National Park walks

Hi Frances, Thank you for choosing Sunshine Cottage! As you may know, the grass tends to grow very quickly in spring due to the warm and wet weather. Our gardener is doing his best to keep it well maintained, and we really appreciate your understanding.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sunshine Cottage. The house was simple and clean, the beds warm and comfortable (electric blanket most welcome!) and the back deck was a lovely space to start a relaxing day. I was excited to realise what a short walk it was to visit the Three Sisters. Would happily rebook.

Lovely old style cottage. Super cosy - beds, quilts and pillows - were very comfortable. Very well stocked kitchen and several heating options to make the winter nights more comfortable. Massive back yard - would be nice to see more done with it like a gazebo or similar - but the back deck was lovely to watch the birdlife from. A wonderful weekend in a great location.

Our stay was in an ideal location for seeing the sites of Katoomba and the near the centre of town. The walk to town was up a reasonable hill but we didn't mind it since we are still reasonably fit for our ages - 68 to 74.Beds were comfortable and still warm enough not to need the electric blankets on the cool nights that we had.Yard was great for our border terrier and the bird life that came in during the early morning and late evening.Just keep in mind for tall people who share a bed that only one is a queen and the other two are doubles. Luckily for us that still fit our needs.Kitchen has a gas cook top and stove along with a microwave, kettle, toaster and coffee maker that uses Nespresso pods.Just note, the councils bins are located on the outside of the backyard fence.Will definitely stay here again next time we want to go to Katoomba.

We enjoyed our overall stay but had to cut our holiday short due to the beds being very hard and uncomfortable and we did not get any sleep. The lounge was also very uncomfortable to sit on. The cottage was lovely though.

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your review. We truly appreciate your feedback. We’re glad to hear about your overall experience, and we also understand your comments regarding the mattress. Comfort can be quite personal, and everyone has their own preference when it comes to mattress firmness. So far, most of our guests have been happy with these mattresses, but we do recognise that preferences can vary. Your input is valuable to us, and we will certainly take it into consideration as we continue to improve the stay for future guests.

Thank you, Jacinta, for letting us know about the hot water issue following the storm and temporary power outage after your departure. The hot water system has a panel controller, and simply switching it back on should restore the hot water supply. We’re sorry for the inconvenience caused. If you had contacted us at the time, we would have been more than happy to assist you straight away.
