There is an extra charge for those with animals when renting But when we got home, there was dog hair everywhere. The house was said to be for 5 people, but they made one bed on the floor, it was very bad. And they took as much money from us as from the other bed. Consider these before renting.

My partner and I spent a wonderful weekend at the cottage. I ran the UTMB 22km trail run on the Friday and spent the remainder of the weekend relaxing in the cottage and enjoying the local area. The cottage is extremely comfortable and our chocolate Labrador enjoyed it immensely as well.

I holiday at this cottage twice a year, and it’s always outstanding. In summer there’s outdoor seating and a large umbrella on the deck, and a huge backyard with so many beautiful flowers I’ve never seen living in Sydney. In Autumn, there’s nothing better than making dinner in the full size kitchen, then curling up on the soft couch, draped in one of the blankets available at the cottage, and watching the fire. And the autumn leaves at the cottage, and all over the Blue Mountains are breathtaking! The location is very convenient - the main street of Katoomba is only a few minutes away, and it takes no time to get to Leura. Despite that, the street is so quiet. Other than the birds, there’s wonderful silence. Wendy and Wayne are lovely, and very responsive to contact. I can’t recommend this cottage highly enough.

Our time spent at the Blue Cottage started disappointing. The online listing said suitable for 5 guests- 2 bedrooms - one with a queen bed, and the other with a queen bed and a sofa bed. There was not a sofa bed, nor a towel or bedding for the 5th person. I contacted Wendy about extra towel and bedding and was told that 'extra bedding is usually requested by guests'. Her husband dropped off extra bedding and a towel late that evening, for which there was no bed to use the bedding on. I booked a cottage for 5 people, and it was listed as suitable for 5 people.
We were also asked if we could meet with the NBN crew who were doing maintenance during our stay. They needed someone to meet them anytime between 8-12. Upon the NBN mans arrival, he told me I would need to be present for about. I told him I was unwilling to do that. It turned out that I was unable to meet him regardless as I was not able to give permission as I was not the property owner. The owners then met the NBN man at the property.
Whilst the start of our stay was disappointing, the overall experience was positive.

This was my 2nd time staying here. It’s such a beautiful cottage. The furniture and decor are gorgeous, and it’s such a relaxing place to stay. The rooms are large, and there’s a huge sofa to relax. Having 2 bathrooms is great too. There are wonderful plants filling the huge backyard, many of which I’ve never seen before. I highly recommend staying at the Tranquil Blue Cottage.

The overall standard was ok but needs some tweaking. The owner was very responsive and responded to the lack of basic essentials at the property. The house needs a really good clean. Some things as have been noted by me and given to the owner. drain smell in the bathroom,night light on entry and bathroom has a small step that could be dangerous for an old person. garden needed cutting ect and some items not there, kitchen towel, coffee,tea selection milk, as I have said I paid a 5 Star price expecting a 5 star accommodation. I'm sure this will be sorted.

I booked a 3 night winter getaway with my 16yo daughter, her friend and our dog. The girls were instantly smitten with the cottage and it's setting and had given it 5 star rating by the end of the trip!
Gorgeous, character-filled home in a peaceful and convenient location. Would definitely stay again.

Had a wonderful stay with my partner and our dog . House was well equipped and clean upon arrival. Generous light coming through during the day and heavy curtains were appreciated for those cold evenings. We couldn’t fault the property - fully fenced property perfect for those dogs that like to escape, plenty of heating available (fireplace, floor vents in all rooms that allow central heating to quickly heat the home), beds and pillows comfortable, nespresso machine available, kitchen fit our with more than enough utensils, glasses and crockery and our favourite, a beautiful porch that gets flooded with sun !!
Highly recommend for a weekend away.

Such a gorgeous cottage!! The interior is absolutely stunning, and the garden and yard are beautiful. So many different flowers - all stunning!! Only a few minutes drive to the centre of Katoomba for groceries, and a short drive to the 3 sisters and Leura. Will absolutely stay again.

The owners promote their deep cleaning standards “sterilising all surface, light switches” etc. When bringing up concerns with the owner after noticing every wine glass in the cupboard was smudged with finger marks, a used tissue found beside the bed they replied saying “We didn't have enough manpower during the public holiday to do a proper cleaning job in between 2 groups of guests” after I pointed out what they’d just admitted they then back tracked and proceeded to say that after talking to their “cleaners” they can’t be sure that it wasn’t from our stay… two of us, smudging 10-15 glasses??
Early on in our stay we noticed that the yard had been neglected, dead pot plants, tall weeds, broken outdoor umbrella.
One of the reasons we chose this house was because they allowed pets. What they didn’t mention was the back fence had partially collapsed onto an adjoining property that had no fence and roads on 2 sides. So the property border is not secure.
We were happy to pay a peak season price but expected a high standard in both cleaning and comfort.
No personal welcoming touch’s on arrival, very aloof manner with communication after we checked in.
We left a day early. Very disappointed!

We loved staying at Blue Cottage - close to everything (notably great walks, the 3 Sisters, lookouts, the sky cable car and many great fine dining restaurants) but also a lovely quiet neighbourhood. Wayne and Wendy have the cottage equipped with everything needed. We would readily stay there again. Highly recommended!

After a long musical day, it’s a great place to relax, go over the music with friends and regenerate for the next day.

We really loved staying at "Blue Cottage". The cottage has a lovely, spacious feel inside, with central heating, comfortable bedrooms, a beautiful modern kitchen, and a comfortable lounge area. We were able to fully relax, especially with views out to the serene garden, and the occasional bird visitor.

The cottage was located in the perfect location for all the attractions. It was clean and well presented. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect last minute getaway
This was a perfect cottage to get away from Sydney. The weather was cold and the house was easy to get warm and cozy. Great place for us as we just wanted to unwind, relax and visit the local restaurants and cafes. The added bonus was that our dogs were just as comfortable with a backyard to explore and a fireplace to warm up in front of.

Lovely Comfortable Dog Friendly Cottage
The cottage is very comfortable and well decorated, with comfortable beds. Plenty of heating options if you are renting in the winter. Echo Point is a short walk away. It is always a treat to find a dog friendly property that is lovely and well maintained.

Great weekend away
Great weekend away. Easy check-in, nice clean cottage, was all we needed. had a few issues getting the fire going, not sure if it needs a clean out (not that it was an issue with the central heating) and the outdoor furniture could do with an upgrade but minor things. Look forward to heading back there in the cooler months.
