Poet’s Cottage • Spa Bath, Fireplace, Superb Trails!

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 114-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.

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.

We have been operating as a holiday rental since 2013 and have been multi-awarding winning across several booking platforms.

Extras:
- We regret that weddings cannot be accommodated
- Guests are refrained from smoking indoors or in the garden due to its proximity to bushland and the World Heritage National Park.
- In Autumn and Winter (May to November) warm outdoor clothing is advisable as temperatures can be up to 10 degrees cooler than Sydney.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private balcony or patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Netflix and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. The bathroom has a jetted bathtub and a hair dryer.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like wireless internet access, onsite parking, and a car charging station.

We loved our stay at The Poets Cottage. We loved the cottage, gardens, location, spaciousness, presentation, cleanliness and helpful communication throughout the booking and checkin process. Wentworth Falls is a beautiful village, with excellent cafes and our location was the perfect base for The Grand Clifftop walk. Thank you so much for truly amazing stay.

Beautiful little cottage. Exactly as described. Spa bath added a little extra luxury and being greeted by the kookaburras in the morning was delightful. Host was lovely and a delight to communicate with. Our only issue was that we couldn’t get the fireplace going however I'm sure that was on us not the fireplace.

Poet’s cottage was the highlight of our trip! The home was clean, beautifully appointed and thoughtfully equipped. We had everything we needed - from fans, air conditioning, to washing powder and toilet paper - nothing was lacking. The care taker and owner were both very responsive and resolved any of our questions or requests promptly and courteously. Poet’s Cottage will be our first preference at the Blue Mountains from now on! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Poet’s Cottage is full of love

There was so much to like about this property. Lots of lively little touches that shows a lot of love has been invested in the home. Great heating system meant we were cozy in the winter chill. Convenient location close to walking tracks, quiet and inviting. Very helpful and prompt communications from a very kind host.

The property is exactly as described. It is so well thought out and has everything that you could possibly need and more. Contact with Sophia was excellent too, timely responses to every enquiry.Plenty of opportunities in the local area to keep teenagers entertained also, in particular abseiling and canyoning at high and wild
