A lovely cottage full of character. Snug and warm in cold weather with really comfortable beds. We loved the special touch of fresh flowers throughout the space.
Mt Wilson is a beautiful, peaceful and secluded part of the Blue Mountains. In mid-December there are rare firefly displays just up the road in the Cathedral of Ferns and there are plenty of other lovely walks in the area. The cottage is basic but impeccably clean and quiet. We spent a very happy weekend there.
