The house was amazing there were 13 of us more than enough room for all of us. Kitchen was well stocked. Plenty of heating with a beautiful fire. Beds were really comfy. Location was absolutely perfect close to the 3 sisters and the Main Street both in walking distance. The owners were prompt and efficient with their correspondence. We will certainly stay there again. Thank you.

We had a lovely time and loved the house and location. The only comments we had was there didn’t seem to be enough towels, especially a lack of hand towels, for our group. Also we were surprised about the $80 charge for the little dog that stayed one night. It may have been mentioned in your listing and we missed it. Just though pet friendly wouldn’t have include such a high fee in a listing. Thanks

Lovely place, plenty of room to relax and enjoy. Only a short walk to the Katoomba village, and a short drive from scenic areas.

Wendy and Wayne have thought of everything. The property is exceptionally fitted out and decorated. Everything you could need and more for a weekend away. The place is huge with multiple living areas, a fireplace and very generously sized bedrooms. Our new favourite place in the Blue Mountains.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, so much space to cater for two families. Everything was thought of with modern updates to the house - a beautiful home and so close to local cafes and shops.
Was a cold and damp weekend so the cozy wood fire was very much appreciated - so many heating options!
We thoroughly enjoyed the complimentary grazing box provided upon arrival. We just wish we had added another day to our stay.
Thank you Wendy and Ying.
