Piccolo - Eclectic Mts Cottage, Pet Friendly
Step into history at Piccolo, a charming miner’s cottage over 110 years old, nestled in quiet bushland on the northern side of Leura. Thoughtfully extended to blend traditional charm with modern conveniences, Piccolo now features four rooms and a bathroom, ensuring a comfortable and relaxing stay. Original timber walls, floors, and solid doors preserve the cottage’s unique character, while contemporary touches make it a true home away from home.
Top Highlights: • Historic Charm Meets Modern Comfort – Original timber interiors combined with modern amenities for a cozy yet practical retreat. • Tranquil Bushland Setting – Relax on the enclosed veranda and enjoy the sights and sounds of native wildlife. • Fully Equipped Kitchen & Veranda BBQ – Cook local produce, enjoy meals indoors or alfresco with stainless steel appliances and farmhouse sink. • Cosy Lounge & Open Fire – Curl up with a movie or a book by the roaring fire (firewood provided). • Pet Friendly – Bring your dog or cat to share in the mountain retreat experience; the veranda is a favourite spot for our furry friends.

About the host
Hosted by Michael
We spend 10 years living in Bondi and work in Sydney because The Blue Mountains were just a bit far to commute from every day. But we finally made to move to permanently live in the Blue Mountains.
Since I grew up in countryside England I need the escape from the city. We saw Piccolo in 2010 and both Holly and I knew we needed to buy it to rest and relax from the pressure of city live.
I'm sure there are many of you that feel the same and we hope you enjoy our little mountain getaway.
Why they chose this property
This was the second miner cottage we looked at, The first sold on the day we enquired. I have always worked in travel and knew a property like this would work well in the mountains.
It was bought for love (I know you should never buy property for love) but we thought why not. And we couldn't afford to buy where we wanted to live in Sydney.
Final 6 years late after visiting the mountains mouthly we took another jump and moved to Katoomba.
What makes this property unique
It's was built in about 1905 and retains all its character with squeaky floorboards but we have added all the mod cons and given it character with mid-century furniture.
