About this property

Poet's Cottage - fireplace, spa bath, best treks

***Now offering gourmet hampers (breakfast/lunch/picnic/BBQ) and in-house buffet!***

Poet's Cottage is a luxurious 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom holiday home in the heart of the upper Blue Mountains. A charming retreat for couples, friends and families.

Built in 1912 and one of the very first cottages in the area, Poet's Cottage is located on the edge of the beautiful Valley of the Waters in historic Wentworth Falls - a 5-minute drive from beautiful Leura Village.

This stylishly restored and extended 111-year-old property offers the best of both worlds - tranquility and quiet away from tourist crowds yet the attractions of Leura and Katoomba are just a quick drive away.

Self-contained, with plenty of pampering comforts, the cottage offers an open-plan lounge and dining area with a freestanding gas log fireplace and a chef's style kitchen. Snuggle up in the three bedrooms with two queen beds, one king single bed and two single beds. The cottage accommodates 2 to 7 guests. Children are welcome.

Watch honey-eaters sip flower nectar while relaxing on your entertainment deck, or wander through the large garden before enjoying the beauty of the world heritage-listed Blue Mountains National Park, which backs directly onto the property. Then return to the cottage for a pampering spa.

Poet's Cottage is ideal for couples, families, trekkers, nature and bird enthusiasts.

For a romantic, adventurous or family getaway of simple elegance and comfort, spoil yourself and enjoy all the Blue Mountains has to offer.

Wonderful getaway, great location
The excellent reviews are spot on! The owner, Sophia, was a pleasure to work with from start to finish! The cottage is in excellent shape with every amenity you can think of. She really thought of everything a guest would possibly need. The communication and reply to email is great also... I always received a response within a few hours. The location is excellent and within 6-8 minute drive from numerous cafes and groceries. The hiking trails are a 10 minute walk a way. We spent 3 nights at the cottage and it was an amazing time. I would highly recommend for anyone looking to spend anywhere between 2 nights to a week away from the city. Thank you to Sophia for a wonderful experience. Sincerely, Bryan & Ana US

Absolutely incredible!
I cannot think of enough superlatives to describe this property. It is absolutely stunning from the overall presentation to the tiniest little details. Firstly it is in a fantastic location, 5 minute drive from Leura village. The cottage itself is beautiful. It's immaculately presented with the highest quality furnishings. It's like staying in 5 star luxury. The back garden is a fairytale and we enjoyed a lovely BBQ on the deck. The host Sophia is so accommodating. I was able to contact her about anything and nothing was too much for her. My parents came to Australia from the UK for the first time and this is the first place I took them after they saw Sydney. It was tough, because the standard was set and I couldn't beat it. Thank you!

Superb home, location and attention to detail.
We had two nights here and it left us wanting to stay longer. It is a lovey home with beautiful features and much attention has been paid to quality in putting the interior together. The location was perfect for us as we were close to bushwalks in the daytime. Sophia provides terrific information and service - her communication is excellent and thoughtful . We will definitely stay again!

First-class cottage
I stayed at Poet’s Cottage with my family for four nights. We wanted a relaxing holiday away from it all and we weren’t disappointed. The cottage is first-class - it had every thing we needed and more. It’s next to amazing Blue Mountains treks and the views were breathtaking. Highly recommended.
