About this property

Piccolo - Eclectic Mts Cottage

In the heart of the bushland Piccolo is your small quaint mountain retreat. Over 100 years old the original miner's cottage consisting of only 2 rooms has been extended over the years to accommodate modern living and now is spacious with 4 rooms and a bathroom. Relax, rest and enjoy the Blue Mountains

Beautiful historic miners cottage in a relaxing setting close to Leura centre. Decked out with an eclectic mix of furnishing and all the mod-con's

You have the cottage all to yourself

Please contact me via phone call or text if you need help during your stay, I live in the mountains 5k's away in Katoomba.

Best to have a car, but trains and taxi's can be used to get to the cottage from the town.

There are quite a lot of step/stairs to get up to the house
We have spend many years restoring this 100 year old miner cottage, we have refitted it with all to modern convenances you expect whilst retaining as much of the original character as possible.

Piccolo is older than your gran parents and needs to be respected and looked after like you would a gran parent so that others can enjoy it as much as you.

Cozy Cottage
Piccolo presents as it is explained. It is very comfortable for two people, the bed was very good and the kitchen is well stocked with all you need to self-cater. Michael also provided lots of helpful hints about what to do and where to eat. We would certainly return.

Relaxing quaint mountain cottage
My husband and I enjoyed a relaxing weekend at Piccolo in the Blue Mountains. Quaint historic cottage which was very comfortable. Our dog Max enjoyed the bush garden and all the smells it had. It was a dog proof garden although probably not for very small dogs - Max is a medium size dog - Brittany Spaniel.

Cute cottage and well equipped
I spent a few days at the cottage with 2 kids and enjoyed our stay. It is well equipped and feels homely. As a light sleeper, I unfortunately heard trucks most nights on the highway- the kids didn’t hear a thing.

Lovely unique property
This is a cute property with lovely decoration throughout. The property was very clean and the bed was super comfortable! Michael, the property manager, was very friendly and offered information about places to go to help plan our trip. The steps up to the property from the road may not be good for older people or dogs who have issues with mobility.

Comfy, cute cottage
Piccolo is a very comfortable cottage. Great kitchen with everything you need to cook a meal. Enjoyed the fire. Steps to the cottage are a little awkward when you get to the top but good incentive to stay indoors. Only comment would be no electric blanket - would have been nice on a cold weekend.

Charming Cottage - Garden Neglected
Cottage was adequate for our needs, however, out of the 4 dinner plates, 2 were cracked and unusable. The Hair Dryer had fallen behind the Clothes dryer but was retrievable and able to be used OK. A curtain would be ideal in the Bathroom. Otherwise the Cottage was warm and cosy with plenty of books, 2 jigsaw puzzles, DVD's and CD's (but nothing to use them on) and pots and pans, etc, for cooking. The Garden needed a general clean up with some plants in need of a trim and the grass mowed. A hand-rail on the concrete steps. would be ideal as they were difficult to manoeuvre especially at night when the outdoor light only stayed on for 30 seconds. As it was raining most of the time during our stay our dog was kept indoors, but even if it had been dry the condition of the yard would have restricted his movements. Basically, the garden was not as well kept as what it looked like in the advertising photos. Perhaps the winter month's weather had prevented the owner from doing garden maintenance and it will, no doubt, be attended to for the summer. The Cottage is lovely and in a nice quiet area with easy driving access to Leura and Kootoomba.

Tranquil mountains home off the beaten track
This home is lovely. Has everything you need for a comfortable stay (although I do like a bathtub!). The house is roomy and spacious despite only having 4 rooms. The decor is charming. The heating is very effective. The grounds are large enough for a dog to run around and explore. It's nice to walk around the peaceful streets with just the sound of birds and it's only a short drive to the various towns of the Blue Mountains.

About the host

Hosted by Michael

Host profile image
We spend 10 years living in Bondi and work in Sydney because The Blue Mountains were just a bit far to commute from every day. But we finally made to move to permanently live in the Blue Mountains.

Since I grew up in countryside England I need the escape from the city.
We saw Piccolo in 2010 and both Holly and I knew we needed to buy it to rest and relax from the pressure of city live.

I'm sure there are many of you that feel the same and we hope you enjoy our little mountain getaway.

Why they chose this property

This was the second miner cottage we looked at, The first sold on the day we enquired. I have always worked in travel and knew a property like this would work well in the mountains.

It was bought for love (I know you should never buy property for love) but we thought why not. And we couldn't afford to buy where we wanted to live in Sydney.

Final 6 years late after visiting the mountains mouthly we took another jump and moved to Katoomba.

What makes this property unique

It's was built in about 1905 and retains all its character with squeaky floorboards but we have added all the mod cons and given it character with mid-century furniture.
