All are good , except kitchen appliances utensils have room to improve

All the categories mentioned are 5 stars … we appreciate that the cottage is an aged property, with good maintenance standard. The kitchen facilities and utensils can be improved on the cleanliness and quality.

Lovely quiet stay

My partner and I enjoyed our stay. The property itself is very clean, comfortable and very quiet. The shower needs a curtain or door if it’s own due to the toilet being in the same room. The fridge is also in an odd position, partially blocking a doorway. An overall comfortable stay, so close to town.

Enjoyable break-away in Blue Mts.

Cosy stay i9s pretty spot. Amnesties worked and the residence was quiet and comfortable. Driveway in/out is a rough and could be made more 'friendly' with very little work.

Peaceful + Cozy

This property was perfect for me and my partner. It was a very close walk to the Leura Mall. There was plenty of room for two people to settle into the space, a smart layout design, and the surrounding of the Priest's Cottage was picturesque, green with a beautiful garden. Thank you for the restful stay!
