Idyllic Blue Mountains stay, period features combined with modern conveniences

9.0

Great peaceful location with beautiful outlook from the living area and adjoining deck (complete with bbq). Kitchen has everything you need. Feels like stepping back in time without sacrificing the creature comforts.

A bit of maintenance in places wouldn’t go astray. My partner thought the bed in the main bedroom could have been more comfortable. Shower setup (shower over freestanding tub with curtains) made it tricky to keep the bathroom floor dry.

Good location, nice and clean.

Decking timbers a potential hazard and rotting Timbers on window frames.

The view was lovely, the breeze through the house was perfect on hot days, I could have my dog with us, the decor was interesting and added appeal, and it was close to the train, buses, shops and cafes.

Accueil très chaleureux, des décorations de Noël et un sapin avaient été mises, des bouquets frais sur la table, hygiène parfaite, équipement parfait et de très bonne qualité et très bon emplacement ! Une cheminée ce qui est hyper agréable et même en été ♥️

Rien à reprocher, peut être l’absence de machine à laver le linge mais sinon parfait!
