Exactly what we expected
We had a great time and the place was exactly as advertised. It was spacious, very clean and once we figured out how to cross the highway we realized how close we were to town! Ideal spot. I especially loved sitting outside and seeing the cockatoos flying around or waking up to the different birds singing! It was a wonderful start to our trip before we went into the city for a few nights! I would definitely stay there again!

It worked
We stayed 10 days in January on a five-month holiday around Australia. We do not usually stay in 5 star hotels, so I'm no snob. The location was perfect for us as we wanted to see the Blue Mountains and Sydney on this stop. 5 min from the train to Sydney and 10 min from the Blue Mountain parks was perfect. The house is advertised as a "Stylishly renovated 1920's historic retreat" and had a good amount of space, nice size rooms, loads of hot water. The kitchen is functional but has a dozen or so appliances that are antiques and cannot be used and a gas stove that needs repair. The property is nice but needs some TLC. The overgrown front yard is like bush walking to get to the front door which drags on the floor so hard that I had to use my shoulder to get it to move. There's a grove from the door that has ground through the finish on the floor. The throw rugs on the floor curl up when walking through and trip you on the return trip. The house has great potential but needs some work.

A unique property, great location
We spent a wonderful weekend in this historic cottage with family to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. It was like a trip back in time, as the 1920s cottage was still largely in original condition but with all the conveniences expected (other than the single bathroom and separate toilet, which resulted at times in some queueing, and no dishwasher, which would have spoiled the otherwise well-equipped old-style kitchen!). The cottage is quaintly and tastefully furnished, and interesting ”niknaks” abound. The main bedroom was spacious with a comfy queen bed but other guests need to sleep on sofa beds. We found the sofabed that we had in the cosy “ 2nd bedroom” was a bit tricky to mount and needed some padding to make it comfortable, but there were plenty of doonas and blankets available for this. The pretty leadlight windows in the room made the effort worthwhile! There is a sunny porch at the back overlooking the bush, and a backyard for the kids to play in, and pick some citrus fruit (I hope the owner doesn’t mind, it was a real treat for city kids). The lovely Birdwood Gully was close by, and we enjoyed the bushwalk there. Likewise the village shops were only a few minutes’ walk away. A charming one-off holiday cottage you will always remember.

Excellent!!
)love the look of the place( oriental and retro), kitchen has absolutely all mod cons. Bushwalk is near just a little up road. Close to town. Very quiet. The layout of the house is really interesting and inviting. There is lots to look at and watch and read. The second bedroom is ok with the double bed folded out. But jeez it's tricky to put it up. Nearly broke two mirrors trying to do so. Would appreciate a permanent bed in that room, as I do wish to stay again.
