A warm and comfortable house. Steps were a challenge. Rooms very pleasant. Owner responded quickly when we found both gas bottles were empty.

The property was lovely, well appointed and beds comfortable. Plenty of room for everyone. The stairs can be a bit much for older people, but they weren't a surprised. We were also informed of the 'intimidating' driveway, so it shouldn't have been a surprise, but it was a surprise when the car couldn't make it up all the way up because it was so steep!

Katoomba

Lovely property. I was aware of steep stairs, found carrying heavy esky hard and also the driveway challenging to navigate in rain/dark to park multiple cars. Fridge was a little hard to open at times. Overall enjoyed our stay. Easy walk to Leura, plenty of space and lovely gardens. Very clear instructions, no problem to access home.

Fabulous

A beautiful house among the trees. Relaxing. Cozy. Airy. Comfortable. Our teenage children loved it as did we. Great for our dogs, too. It's the second time we have stayed. The hosts were fantastic. We will stay again.

Country home

Such a beautiful warm country home with all the facilitiers we needed. Nice views and a cute back bushy garden. The kitchen had all we needed including a rice cooker which my Thai husband can't live without. Beds were warm and comfy as was the central heating. Would be happy to return.

Katoomba stay

The property is in a great location with good access for both Katoomba and Leura. There is plenty of sleeping accommodation to host a large group. The place is very warm and there is ample supply of pillows and blankets. The hosts were fabulous in their communication and assisting one of our group who left behind a personal item. The only downside is the parking on a very steep drive but we were well aware of this situation prior to our stay.Also the place needs a bigger bbq to accommodate the number of guests.

Warm Home

We stayed during a cold snap in winter, but the house was toasty warm and well stocked. 10-15min walk to the shops is up a steep hill so if your knees aren’t great like mine you may want to drive. Recommend Bootlegger bar for a meal or drinks and a show.

Wonderful retreat to the mountains

An excellent property and excellent hosts. Andrea and Daniel have a real gem of a house, both functional and retaining mountain charm. The only downside is the driveway which is difficult to manoeuvre in the wet but affords for the place to be in such a secluded and beautiful spot and personally I don’t see it as a drawback. Wonderful views from the property. A great entertainers deck with fire pit and a wonderful garden make this a peaceful getaway suitable for friends and family. Bedrooms were sizeable and comfortable and the house was easy to warm. The only thing lacking are coat hooks in the entrance hall which just goes to show how great the house is.

Good extended family getaway, just a few tings to be aware of.

Lovely quirky property for an extended family getaway. Plenty of bedrooms and a separate kids play area was great. It was nice to be able to sit altogether as an extended family for dinner and to play card games at night. We were greeted with Tim Tams and a lovely bottle of champagne! The garden was nice to explore briefly when it wasn't raining. The toaster wasn't working but we were given a new one the next day by 9am for breakfast. There were a few lights and one of the DVD remotes that also didn't work. We were warned that the driveway was steep but it is not just steep it is too tight and the car scraped on the bottom and on the wheels as it was too long for the tight turns. The house had a bit of a wet dog smell when we first arrived but this settled once we sprayed it with the available air freshener. Overall we enjoyed the trip.

Deceiving photos and description of the house.

We arrived to a dirty and unkempt house and garden. The garage was full of water and mosquitoes everywhere in the house. Dirty carpets and broken furnitures. I took lots of photos and submitted complain to NSW Fair Trading under the new 2021 STRA Code of conduct . Stay away from this place.

Dear Tearza, thank you for staying with us. We are very sorry that your experience did not reflect the reality of the house nor the experiences of all our other previous guests who have provided us with outstanding reviews. The house and garden were clean. We immediately responded to your complaint sending our cleaner in for another two hours touch up clean and provided you with an additional bottle of sparkling wine. It was disappointing that you responded by threatening us with legal action. Best wishes, Andrea and Daniel

Girls mountain getaway

We were really impressed with the accommodation, situated up in the tree tops. All the mod cons of home were available, beds were lovely and comfy and the heating was so good. My 82 year old Mum thoroughly enjoyed herself and was suitably impressed with the home and it’s surrounds. The driveway and steps leading to the house were quite steep, which may be a challenge for some. All in all, we had a wonderful time - thank you Daniel for allowing us to stay, as it enabled my sisters and I to have memorable time with Mum.

Great Mountains holiday house

Our extended family of 11 stayed in this lovely quirky property to celebrate my husband's birthday. It was classic Mountains accommodation in a great location - we walked from the house in multiple directions to enjoy the delights of the Blueys. We would definitely stay there again.
