Nice big house with beautiful small garden and very friendly birds
The cottage had everything one would need for an Aussie adventure amongst the trees! So close to the mountains, sights and Leura Mall. Lots of birds and the gardens were a nice place to sit and relax. The cottage has an old charm to it and all amenities you could need. Loved the CD player! Also having some staple pantry supplies came in handy! Only thing is I think it's time for a new couch. I will definitely be back for some R&R.
A peaceful well-appointed little oasis in a perfect setting!
This outstanding, peaceful little oasis in the Blue Mountains was perfectly situated to provide easy access to all the walks and sightseeing we planned. Extremely well-appointed, immaculately maintained with an awesome private bush garden, all within an easy stroll to Leura Mall, which is full of an amazing array of shops, markets and places to eat. Easy access to all the tourist attractions. Wish we could have stayed much longer. We'll definitely return!
A lovely home with great attention to detail. Valerie and John have thought of everything you could need. A few minor maintenance things that we fed back and I'm sure they'll fix.
It is very close to Leura shopping center as advertised, but ... it's seriously steep with no walkways or lighting at night. It's not really walkable.
And while there are 2 bathrooms as advertised, the 2nd bathroom which services the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms is located a long way away - right outside bedroom 1.
But overall it's a great place to stay. If not wanting to walk into town and the bathroom configuration isn't an issue for you, then we would highly recommend.
Lovely property, with amazing wood fire AND heating. Snowed while we were there, made the experience that much better! Cold outside but toasty in. Great location! Can’t fault property at all.

Fantastic cosy house with everything included!
This fabulous house was perfect for exploring the Blue Mountains. Great location close to the Leura Mall and only a few minutes into Katoomba. House has everything including a coffee machine, electric blankets, heaps of linen, well equipped kitchen and even bird seed for the many birds visiting in the afternoon. Beautiful garden setting. Hope we can come back!

Great place for a girls weekend!
We were thoroughly impressed with how well furnished the place was with everything you needed and added extras (eg bath salts, candles, bird seed to feed the native birds). The location was also excellent - just a short walk into Leura and yet nice and quiet.

Great place, very spacious and cosy interior. The electric blankets came in handy as it got very cold at night. The cottage surpassed our expectations and we would definitely come back.

About the host
Hosted by Trudi & Valerie
I have always loved the Blue Mountains as a child it was very exciting to visit. Having grown up in North Sydney, close to the CBD it was the complete opposite to where I lived. Eventually when it became possible I managed to buy this property with the hope that others may have the opportunity to enjoy the ambience of Bluebell Cottage, the surrounding bush and all the native birds that frequently visit the property. Sometimes the noisy white cockatoos make a bit of a racket but they are so charming with their antics.
Why they chose this property
Bluebell Cottage was currently being built when I purchased it. I fell in love with it as from the whole back section the windows are large and overlook a terraced garden as well as huge mountain trees. The four seasons that we enjoy in Australia come to reality as all the foliage and outlook changes each season. The autumn is splendid when all the trees change into various colors and then drop all their leaves. The spring comes and all new green growth appears all renewed. Summer is much cooler than the city allowing a lot of outdoor activities to occur. Winter is the time to light up our wood fire and turn on the electric blankets. Usually sometime during the winter season we see some snow. Shops in Leura Village are quaint and interesting and great spots to enjoy good food and coffee.
What makes this property unique
I love it because it is spacious, comfortable a lot of our guests comment it is great because the feel so at home. One of our guests described it as being a large tree house sitting in the middle of a lovely garden. Many guests have commented that after a busy day either sightseeing or bush walking find it so relaxing to return home to.
