Stylish, private log cabin style house with great decks, a lush fully fenced garden, and excellent hifi.

** The space **

Falls Lodge is an open plan house, perfect for entertaining. At its centre is a generous breakfast bar connecting the newly refurbished kitchen and large living room, a social focal point. The living room features an open fireplace and the easily movable furniture makes gathering in front of the fire very easy. Then there is the most musical hifi you’ve probably ever heard; bring your vinyl, CDs or logon to your favourite streaming. Falls Lodge comfortably accommodates up to 6 guests (2 bedrooms configurable as 2 x singles OR one king)

** Where will I be? **

Falls Lodge is a 3 minute drive north of Wentworth Falls village; 8 minutes from Leura, 10 minutes from Katoomba. The house is set in 2700 sqm of mature gardens and is fully fenced, should you be wanting to bring your dog.

** Why choose Falls Lodge? **

This three bedroom, single level mountains house contains everything a discerning holiday maker would expect! Soaring ceilings and multiple skylights bring in abundant light to a spacious free flowing floor-plan. What is more social than gathering in front of an open fireplace? And the slow combustion wood heater provides the cosiest warmth of all. The house, which has just been totally refurbished, is very tastefully decorated. There is a well equipped kitchen with new, top of the range appliances opening to the dining room. If you like music the living room boasts a high end tube hifi system for the most musical sound. Bring your vinyl, CDs or login to your streaming service. There is a 55” smart LCD backlit TV with Netflix (which can connect to the hifi) and DVD.

** How is the property laid out? **

Falls Lodge is on a single level with no entry stairs; all rooms are wheelchair accessible and the showers and bath are equipped with safety handles. The house has surrounding balconies on three sides, north facing at the rear where outdoor dining is catered for (including a gas barbeque). The master bedroom with queen bed has an ensuite, the other two bedrooms – one queen, the other either king or two singles - being at the opposite end of the house with the main bathroom. Dining settings include being relaxed at the breakfast bar or seated more formally around the massive river red gum dining room table. A bar fridge in the dining room is also provided. Just off the kitchen is a dedicated workspace with generous desk and monochrome printer; folding doors allow your work area to be shut off once work is finished.

** Wi-Fi, Internet, Netflix or Pay TV - will I have it? **

This property provides complimentary WiFi and a password will be provided in your pre-arrival email. There is also a smart tv for your use which includes Netflix; BYO other accounts.

The NBN service has proven to be reliable (there is a brand new node directly across the road) and the WiFi is similarly well performed. Wireless printing is provided (if your printing requirements are large do BYO paper).

** What about outdoors? **

A large north facing deck with table and chairs for six offers great outdoor living space. There is also a fully fenced garden. You may bring your dog but not your cat. There is a kennel undercover on the rear balcony. Please note your dog is not to be left in the house during any absence and we ask that the dog’s feet be dried and wiped before coming into the house. (Pets are not allowed on the furniture or beds!)

If using the outside decks, please ensure all noise is moderated and taken inside at 10 pm to avoid any issues with neighbours.

Overall rating = 5 stars! Four days at Falls Lodge. PROS: warm welcome (literally - the fire was lit), spotlessly clean, delightfully quiet and only 2 kms from the village itself, well set up kitchen and good quality cookware, comfortable beds, large screen TV, consistent wifi and excellent hifi, great ice making fridge, plenty of pillows and towels. CONS: woken up early by beautiful birdsong :-)

If you want some time away to the Blue Mountains Stephens place is the perfect cabin! It has a rustic atmosphere that matches the great nature outside! It’s got lovely wooden ceilings that make you feel like you’re in a mountain region! Kitchen is huge, plenty of space and seating, 2 fire places made it very cozy wherever you want to sit. I’ll be staying again! It’s also close driving distance to Leura and Katoomba, easy to park on site.

This was the perfect house for a weekend in the blue mountains. The gardens are very secluded and tranquil - I felt a long way from the busyness of the world. The house is cosy, comfy beds, lovely bath tub and fireplace. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you could need and a good supply of basics (olive oil, salt, pepper etc). The large garden is fully fenced and dog friendly. Stephen was the perfect host.

A wonderful place for escaping from Sydney. Located in a quiet street but close to the town center. The house is spacious and clean. We enjoyed the fire place and vintage lights. Our fur baby also enjoyed this pet friendly place. The kitchen has everything and massive range of seasoning and spices. Stephen is quick in reply and good in communication. Highly recommend!

Stephens lodge is nothing short of beautiful. The attentive messages prior to our stay, the privacy during our stay & even the mood lighting for our arrival, everything was amazing. We were lucky enough to have a beautiful rainy day & to have the dogs sleeping in front of the fire place made it much more enjoyable.

It was a perfect mountain escape with our close friends and dog - Stephen was a fantastic host and the djs in our group were thoroughly impressed with his speakers and vinyl cleaning products - the yard is gorgeous and the fire kept us warm. Thank you!

Falls Lodge is really a gem of a place. The place is absolutely gorgeous (love the exposed wood design) with a fantastic kitchen to cook in, excellent heating, and a cracking fire place. The queen bed is very comfy, the bath is a delight and it the wrap around veranda was ideal for star gazing. Really have to compliment the sound system, wow. Stephen left really clear instructions on how to set it up and connect to Bluetooth and I have to say the sound quality was incredible. We had a great time drinking wine listening to some of our favourite albums. Location is great, check in and check out was a breeze and Stephen was really helpful with questions we had. Nothing but good things about this place, looking forward to coming back again sometime soon!

My son summed it up best when we left “this was perfect and feels like home”. Stephen’s a great host, personable and responsive and has put lots of thought into the home, amenities and guidance. Lovely warm fireplaces, well stocked wood and kindling with heating throughout the house. The tasteful furnishings and bedding are comfortable and we enjoyed the books, board games and the Lake nearby (3km). The audio equipment is amazing and wish I was more knowledgeable to appreciate the craftsmanship. The town is beautiful and a short 2.5km drive away. Our dog (Cody) also enjoyed the garden and walks nearby. We’ll definitely be back.

Stephen's place was everything you needed as a home away from home. We cooked quite a bit and everything you needed was available and well thought of. It was very cold the weekend we were up there but the two fireplaces were amazing. It kept us so warm and cosy! Central heating was there is you needed it, electric blankets and good heating in the bathrooms as well. We were a group of five and will definitely stay again!
