Beautiful cottage in a beautiful and quiet lacation. We stayed for a long weekend and the cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We were lucky to experience some cooler nights to enjoy the fireplace and heated flooring in the bathroom. We also loved all the quality bathroom essentials supplied. Highly recommend

This place was so cosy and welcoming. There were little homely touches like essential oils and different condiments. Olwen was very welcoming on arrival and assisted us when we needed to borrow torches to hike the glow worm tunnel. It's peaceful and relaxing and the large bath with jets was just what I needed after a long day hiking. I'll be back.

I'm struggling to find just one thing that stood out, when it was truly a wholly delightful stay!! Not only was the garden and cottage layout stunning and comfortable, the place was clean, tidy, cozy and had such charm - from local art to extensive guide books (and movies you could borrow!), tiny little jams and spreads and the cohesive scent line of soaps, shampoos, toiletries and essential oils to diffuse, this is by the far the most I have ever felt so comfortable and welcomed in a home away from home. Every single detail and beyond has been thoughtfully arranged to create such a memorable experience. We will be back!

Ideal Blue Mountains Hideaway

Really well-maintained cottage with everything for a comfortable stay. Close to a wedding venue which we attended. It was perfect for our 3-night stay. Not quite cold enough for us to light the log fire, though the mist and rain made it very tempting.

Great little get away

I've stayed at Evenstar multiple times and always love our stay. It's a cosy granny flat that is well equipped for you to relax for a few days or use as a base to explore the area. Olwen keeps the house well maintained and stocked. Plenty of essential oil products to use, great coffee machine with beans. Kitchen is stocked with all sorts of tea and coffee. Plenty of cushions and blankets to really cosy up. Fire wood provided for the first night so you don't need to think, just light a fire and relax. I love staying here and long forward to the next stay.

A comfortable cottage was updated and is even more comfortable this time. The new bathroom is a stunner. The setting is just beautiful and walking distance to cafés and shops. We'll come again for sure. Next time in winter to get the fire going.

The Autumn leaves are stunning in the upper Blue Mountains and is a beautiful time to visit. Rhododendron time in October and November are also lovely. Or simply come to enjoy the crisp winter air. There is no bad time to visit.
