Mini break with our furkids

A mini break for us and able to bring our dogs along was great. We enjoyed the cozy home and the wonderfully peaceful garden. Amazing butterflies and bird life, late summer flowers and beautiful trees and shrubs. Perfect!

Cozy Cottage

A very enjoyable stay in a cozy cottage, ideal for couples as it is located some 15 minutes from Lithgow and an easy drive to Katoomba, the heart of the Blue Mountains. The gardens and wildlife surrounding the cottage are spectacular.

Perfect hideaway

Wonderful petite cottage just right for a lovely relaxing escape. Our fur baby loved it the most I think taking full advantage of the safe expansive gardens and the toasty warm nights in front of the roaring log fire. Highly recommended
