Description

We are the proud new owners of Babylon Cottage, a cosy retreat in the heart of Kangaroo Valley. We bought the property in October 2011 and have been busy with home improvements to make your stay more enjoyable. A bright and well maintained cottage set on five acres awaits you and we just know you and the kids are going to love it.

How many does it sleep?

Upstairs the cottage has three bedrooms. The large master bedroom has a queen size bed with an optional fold out double sofa bed. The second bedroom has a queen size bed and the third bedroom has a unique bunk bed with a double on the bottom and a single on the top. The cottage is ideal for three couples or if you don’t mind sharing a room, four couples could stay as the inner spring sofa bed is very comfortable. Alternatively, the house would suit five singles as there are five beds in total in the three bedrooms. Kids can sleep in the third bedroom in the bunk bed as the top single bed has rails all the way around and there is plenty of room for a portable cot too, which we provide. The dog does not miss out, as there is a large kennel on the covered balcony, so your pooch should be happy with that. Quality cotton linen and bathroom towels are supplied and you will find plenty of little extras that will make your stay special.

Downstairs the kitchen has a dishwasher, stove, fridge and a large microwave. The lounge/dining room is air conditioned for the summer and has a pot belly fire place for the winter. You can relax on the new leather couch and enjoy the cricket or a good movie on our new hi-definition LCD TV/DVD. The laundry is equipped with a washing machine and a dryer and next to that is the bathroom.

Outside the balcony wraps around the whole house and is perfect for catching some sun or reading a book in the corner hammocks. The levelled balcony extends to a secure fenced, 16-metre deck with a large pool and a two-step raised platform which is great for reading the paper under the market umbrella at another table setting. You will need to bring your own pool towels too. Fire up the BBQ and eat at the outdoor dining table while watching the kids in the pool in the warmer months. There is a large flat lawn adjacent to the pool, which is perfect for ball games or the trampoline. A few acres of bushland is the backdrop for the outdoor area, ideal for exploring or just sitting back and enjoying the vast open space. The driveway meanders up to the front of the house with parking for at least four cars.

How to get there

Kangaroo Valley is two hrs drive through the Southern Highlands from Sydney or 2 hours drive from Canberra. From Sydney, take the M5 to Mittagong exit, drive through Mittagong and Bowral, follow Sheepwash Road all the way to Fitzroy Falls. Turn left at the T intersection, and dive down the curves into Kangaroo Valley. Babylon Cottage is on the main road, just past the next of village shops. As soon as you see the sandstone police station on your left, look right for the house numbers. Address is 198 Moss Vale Road, right across from the oval and local swimming pool.

Our first guest comment!

"We found the house much improved. We liked it before but loved all the new furniture and accessories and the white paint downstairs has really brightened it up. Well done to you for putting in such an effort. We were all very happy and will certainly be back. We have also recommended it to others so I hope you get some business from that. Regards, Kay." 13 Nov 2011

Based on this feedback, we have since bought a new BBQ and confirmed with the cleaner to clean it after each guest, bought a new Ipod digital FM radio boom box and bought a pool roller and blanket for the pool to keep leaves from falling in the pool.
