About this house rental
MINTIE COTTAGE
Mintie Cottage was originally built and owned by James Stedman in 1916 who famously created the confectionary Minties and affectionately named their home after the sweet.
Steeped in Australian history, Mintie Cottage is nestled within an old-world cottage garden of herbs, flowers, and fruit trees that is conveniently positioned on Leura Mall.
This majestic residence offers all the features of a classic mountain home that is rich in traditional detail with elegant finishes throughout and occupies approximately 790sqm of superb level grounds set privately from the road. A premier location only minutes on foot to Leura village and major sightseeing attractions.
This home is ideal for small to medium group accommodation for family and friends or couples looking for generous space. It consists of three comfortable bedrooms, with stylish queen bed, double bed and two singles, plus a single day bed in the sunroom. Quality hotel linen and towels are also provided.
Mintie Cottage is the definition of upmarket traditional mountain living and sets itself apart through its dedication to elegant entertaining, re-invigorating and intimate relaxing.
In the prestigious Leura Mall, Mintie Cottage is a short walk from the historic Everglades Gardens and Leura Golf Course. Nearby, Sublime Point, Golf Links Lookout, Gordon Falls Walks and Leura Cascades all offer pristine escarpment walks, rainforests, cascading waterfalls and spectacular views. Also only minutes away, the historic Leura Village charms with quality restaurants and cafes, galleries, shops, arts and crafts, and boutiques.

The house was charming, well appointed and very comfortable.
Unfortunately there was a strong musty mouldy odour in the house and the window panes above the bedroom doors appeared to have mould. I hope this can be rectified.

5.0 / 5.0
As a family, we stay in hotels when visiting the mountains, but I wanted more freedom and was excited to find this gorgeous cottage. A fantastic location, lovely and quiet. I have two kids, 9 and 13 years old, and they loved the space. The proximity to Leura shops was convenient for groceries, and the kitchen was excellent to cook meals in. We loved finding walks to do, coming back for lunch, then heading out for another adventure. This cottage really gave the three of us the most relaxing and comfortable little getaway. We will certainly be coming back again next year. It really did feel like a home away from home!

Cosy, comfortable and quaint.
Very comfortable, genuine attempt to keep the quintessential feel of a Blue Mts cottage, but with modern comforts, such as heated bathroom floor. Position ideal, close to views and park at Gordon Falls and the shops in Leura Mall.

Mintie Cottage
This is an outstanding accommodation. It was spotless and extremely well equipped. The location is quiet but just near enough to shops and restaurants. Rooms are large, comfortable and totally inviting. All the systems, lights, heating, appliances worked perfectly and were well described in the manual. It’s a truly outstanding place and I’d return anytime any season.
