About this cottage rental
Delightful little cottage - used to be on an old dairy farm, these days it's residential. Close to Leura shops/restaurants & a short drive from the magnificent escarpment views - or walk down the road to MineHaHa Falls for a picnic.
The front verandah looks onto a lovely front courtyard with a fish pond and fountain & the back deck is shaded by a huge old tree fern. Heat your soup looking onto the grove of lovely mountain ash trees. Settle in for a winter evening next to a big gas log heater. Springtime puts a splendid show on with maples, cherry blossums and lots of natives. Escape the excesses of the summer heat, with cooler nights.
Quiet and private (although it is in a residential area, so there are houses around, including another cottage on the property where the owners live, including a dog). Set on just under an acre. It's a simple, cosy retreat.
Mountain Ash is a self-contained cottage, with its own direct driveway access, and its own verandah and back deck.
Restful weekends away. It's a terrific base for bushwalking or writer's retreat or just doing nothing.

The house is set amongst gum trees , has a lovely outlook and feels rural , but only 2km into Leura Mall.
Unfortunately we didn’t receive one of the emails which apparently provided the change of access code and the owners contact details. Luckily she lives adjacent to the property and appeared as we were deciding what to do next!

A lovely cottage with everything you need
A lovely cottage with everything you need. All the amenities are covered and it is the perfect space for two adults. We loved being a short drive to both Leura and Katoomba and seeing the chickens in the backyard. The owner is lovely and very responsive. We have stayed here multiple times and will return.

Cosy but in need of some TLC
We loved the fresh eggs and cosy look of the cottage. The location was great and Geri was easy to communicate with and gave us some great tips for places to eat.
We wish there were more windows that could have been opened and utilised with a fly screen as the cottage needed some airing out.
We were also quite disappointed when half way through making dinner we realised the oven didn't work and most of the burners required matches to light.
A lovely, cosy home, but in need of some TLC.

Beautiful, quiet, warm and peaceful A++
I was very impressed with this property. It was just as pictured, if not better. It was incredibly clean, warm, inviting and a wonderful place to stay for a little mountain break. Very close to shops and walks. Geraldine is lovely, accommodating and I found her information about local restaurants really helpful! I love the chickens! 5*

Geri was very welcoming and we appreciated the eggs from the “hollywood” girls. The cottage was comfy and good for a couple. Would benefit from some maintenance outside and finishing off. Wouls recommend as value for $

The photos don’t do it justice! The kitchen gets beautiful sunlight and you can watch the sunset from the big kitchen windows. The gas heater heats up the place very quickly and gives it just the cosy feeling I was looking for. There is a little table out the front where I ate breakfast and watched the sunrise. And after mentioning I was a frontline healthcare worker, Geraldine even left a beautiful bunch of flowers and a card which was a lovely surprise! Overall great location, comfort, cleanliness and facilities. Would definitely recommend.

Overall good,,close to shops and conference centre
I think it would be better if there was some air conditioning instead of just fans which were inadequate to cope with the heat

Romantic weekend away
Had a wonderful weekend at the cottage. Located in a quiet road, a short drive away from Leura village and Katoomba shops. Well equipped kitchen (look out for the tomato sauce and mustard bottles), cosy living room and warm and comfortable bed and pillows. Perfect place for a quiet getaway. Thanks to Geraldine for all the local tips, we took her recommendation for dinner at the Avalon and was not disappointed. Great collection of books as well, could easily stay longer, but had to get back to the kids ....
