Great place to stay with friends with a stunning view of the mountains. Kitchen is pretty small so cooking for a full house was a bit hard, but still a beautiful place to stay.
It was our 2nd time staying at the property and as always our group thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Plenty of space for the 10 of us and the location is perfect.

Cant recommended this place enough. There was plenty of space for all of us and it’s ideal for a large group with its many bedrooms and bathrooms. Location is very central to everything you would need around the mountains region. Definitely looking forward to staying here again.

Great venue for our family weekend stay. Layout is cozy and 2 living areas give option to be together or separate. The view to the west is magical at sunset. All questions were answered quickly via email/app. Thanks Angela!!

We had a terrific weekend here. 7 adult family members and two babies. The second kitchen was great. The main kitchen was fantastic- we cooked a Christmas dinner in the oven which was perfect The views, sunset and fresh air was just magic. We appreciated the large bathrooms too. It was super cold and very very windy but heaters and fires kept us warm and cosy. Will be back!

We had a great stay at Angela’s property for the UTA weekend. The view is just spectacular and the property was great for our group of 10. The kitchen is small but very well appointed. Parking is a bit tight and the steep driveway takes some getting used to but we managed. The house was so quiet but close to town and Scenic World for the start and finish of our running event. Overall a really lovely. character filled property and we would happily stay again.

We stayed in the Haveli and Lotus Suites over the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The Haveli Suite has the best equipped kitchen I have ever experienced at a rental property, 10/10 for the array of cutlery, crockery and cookware available. Gas stove and electric oven were easy to use. Plenty of room to lounge about in the living areas and enjoy the stunning view. Driveway is quite steep coming down from the road, there is a side parking spot in addition to under the carport. Overall, a great property and would stay here again.

We spent a weekend there with my parents and sister who had come overseas to visit us. We enjoyed a lot. We found out everything that we needed easily and we enjoyed the beautiful view over mountains. Quite warm and cozy.
Close to Katoomba.
Thank you
it was a very comfortable home and the owners had ensured everything that was provided. the views were spectacular and we really enjoyed our stay. the driveway was a bit daunting and was unexpectedly a bit steep. But we coped. everything was perfect.
