Found the Sirius cabin expensive for what it was

Beautiful cottage if you don’t mind lengthy detours to Katoomba

7.0

Beautifully appointed cottage with hot water spa bath

We booked to be close to Katoomba but discovered roadworks factored in a 50 min drive there and back. Dirt roads and kangaroos, and then detours on top hindered our ability to go out after dusk. This should be clear before booking. Once the roadworks are done we’d happily recommend

The location was beautiful, quiet and full of wildlife, perfect for a couple's getaway.

The location was beautiful, quiet and full of wildlife, perfect for a couple's getaway. The locate was remote but still within driving distance of shops etc if required.

The bed was very uncomfortable.
