We loved everything about this sweet 1867 Gatekeeper’s cottage. Our host Wendy had everything ready for our 3night stay. Our only regret was that we didn’t stay longer.

Wendy is a super host, fast with communication and quick to sort out any issues. Very thoughtful of her to put on the underfloor heating in the bathroom. Also lots of firewood to make the stay nice and cosy.

We thoroughly enjoyed our short two night stay at “The Gatehouse”. The cottage was just as described, the host was easy to deal with. Overall the cottage was just what we needed. Would definitely stay again if we are the area.

Informative and friendly host and a beautiful historic property, which has been lovingly restored and maintained. However this property will not be for everyone - it was deliberately built close to the railway line so expect some train noise - that did not bother me at all but other people may be more sensitive.

Cosy beautiful little historic cottage. Loved the feel of stepping back in time with our day and age creature comforts. Relaxing by the fireplace with wine and tunes playing was lovely. Kitchen was modern and catered for our needs. Really loved thinking about the history of the cottage.

This 1867 property offers a great deal. Two bedrooms one with a dbl bed and one with a single and a trundle. Kitchen has most appliances (no microwave) fridge was super cold. Dining room table holds four.Lounge room has an open fire which we used without any problems.Bathroom is outside through an enclosed conservatory. Underfloor heating in the large bathroom with clawfoot bath and separate shower is great.Wendy is very helpful and honest about the old original door locks. However there are steel gates that have modern locks and keys. We just locked them when going out & re-entered via the conservatory door. Easy. Bush trail at the end of the sealed side street gives amazing views from a rock lookout. The elephant in the room is the close proximity to the railway line. It was after all a railway gatekeeper cottage. We didn't find the trains (which are quite intermittent) any major problem.

Secluded cosy and warm respite.

Close to Govetts Leap and Evans heads and as we were both recovering we were able to find stunning walks that were manageable. Found a lovely coffee hideout at Blackheath. We enjoyed the high ceiling in the lounge and low in kitchen and especially the heated floor in bathroom. It was such a cosy respite.

Holiday cottage

It was Cosy with the log fire and oil heaters if needed. Kitchen was great and the bathroom was lovely with its underfloor heating. Didn’t get the chance to use the stand alone bath… will next time. It was lovely to be able to stay in a historic stone cottage with so much history.

The weather was quite a mix, but home day was lovely and so many places to visit other days. The bathroom with heated floor was a real treat. I would have loved a bedside lamp so that I could read in bed. I also needed a sharp knife that wasn’t a bread knife.

Awesome little place

Perfect stay for the week with my family. Love the old school charm, and being able to have a fire in January thanks to the mountains weather…34 and sunny one day, 13 and rainy the next. Easy access to all the local tourist stuff and lots of awesome hikes within a few minutes drive. Highly recommend!!! And yes there are trains, and trucks, but the positives far outweigh any negatives.

Peaceful place

What a wonderful little getaway this was! My husband and I adored this little cottage and had a beautiful and peaceful stay. While you are right on the tracks this may be annoying to some, but we got excited each time a train came through and ran like children to the window! The bathroom was wonderful the clawfoot tub has my heart, and the underfloor heating was a life saver! We are so happy to of gotten to stay in this quant and beautiful building

Cosy and quaint

Lovely old, historic property with beautiful garden. Be aware of the trains being close, we loved it! Central to so much in the mountains and beyond and 5minute walk to all the Hydro Majestic has to offer. Wendy was helpful and easy to communicate with along with thinking of little touches like leaving heaters on for our arrival. Especially loved the fire, bath and no tv!
