A fabulous house for our girls weekend away. Very clean, roomy and all necessities included. We walked to Sublime point, with awesome views. Walked into Leura town, hilly but gorgeous surrounds. We highly recommend this house, and look forward to returning in the future.
Our group of 8 stayed here for the UTMB event in May 2023. The house is in a beautiful location on the edge of a valley with gorgeous sunrise views. It is a spacious home, with a great outdoor dining area, lovely gardens, well appointed kitchen and living area, wood fire and central heating. The owners were easy to contract and very helpful. We would be very happy to stay again.
Black Cockatoo Retreat was a wonderful place to stay. This was an annual re-union of ten ladies. The property was clean with ample amenities. The beds were very comfortable. It's a wondereful walk to Sublime Point lookout. The communication with Nora (the host) was amazing. Nora made many suggestions of places to go and options for food.
The Black Cockatoo retreat in Leura was a great base for my 60th, with my 2 daughters & 3 grandchildren (all under 3). It was 10 minutes to 3 Sisters, cascades, Scenic World & numerous bush walks & great restaurants. The Black Cockatoo has 5 bedrooms, 1 with a cot & 2 with additional single beds. The top floor master is the best but gets very hot during the day & night. There are additional fans but it still a hot room. The 2 middle rooms are cooler but needed additional fans. The ground floor is the coolest. We went in end of March when it was 25-30 during the day
A very clean, well-maintained property surrounded by beautiful houses and views. A good 1km walk to Everglades. Probably a drive to the Mall. There were 6 of us and we fitted well.
We (3 families) had a lovely stay at this comfortable home. The host was really helpful, communicative and made sure we had everything we needed. The separate living areas meant there was plenty of room for everyone and parents drinking wine by the dining room fire were still able to keep an eye on their little ones playing in the nearby living room. The yard is beautiful and the view is amazing. Absolutely recommend this wonderful spot.
It's an amazing place to stay. The host was helpful throughout our stay. The house is well organised and very spacious. We didn't feel like leaving. It's a 10 min drive from the attractions in the mountains, such as the three sisters.
We loved the kitchen, dining room, outdoor table facing the great view of the valley. Meant we could all feel connected even while doing different things.
Nora was a great host and shared detailed instructions for the house topped off with great bits of local knowledge.
Great accomodation and plenty of space for family and friends to gather around and have a yarn! Wonderful location would highly recommend for a Blue Mountains stay. Nora the host was lovely and quick to respond to any issues.
What and amazing house with spectacular views. Love the location and it was easy to find. We all had a lovely time and were very comfortable (although our friend in the single bed said the mattress could have been updated). Overall a perfect house for a group of adults looking to enjoy the mountains in a beautiful location. The host was happy to answer any of our questions personally. Overall a lovely weekend away with friends.
We've just spent a lovely girls weekend away at Black Cockatoo Retreat. The house was lovely, very clean, organised and close to town. We especially loved the beautiful garden.
Our host Nora was lovely and very accommodating. We will definitely be returning in the near future.
