About this property

Piccolo - Eclectic Mts Cottage

In the heart of the bushland Piccolo is your small quaint mountain retreat. Over 100 years old the original miner's cottage consisting of only 2 rooms has been extended over the years to accommodate modern living and now is spacious with 4 rooms and a bathroom. Relax, rest and enjoy the Blue Mountains

Beautiful historic miners cottage in a relaxing setting close to Leura centre. Decked out with an eclectic mix of furnishing and all the mod-con's

You have the cottage all to yourself

Please contact me via phone call or text if you need help during your stay, I live in the mountains 5k's away in Katoomba.

Best to have a car, but trains and taxi's can be used to get to the cottage from the town.

There are quite a lot of step/stairs to get up to the house
We have spend many years restoring this 100 year old miner cottage, we have refitted it with all to modern convenances you expect whilst retaining as much of the original character as possible.

Piccolo is older than your gran parents and needs to be respected and looked after like you would a gran parent so that others can enjoy it as much as you.

Relaxing quaint mountain cottage

My husband and I enjoyed a relaxing weekend at Piccolo in the Blue Mountains. Quaint historic cottage which was very comfortable. Our dog Max enjoyed the bush garden and all the smells it had. It was a dog proof garden although probably not for very small dogs - Max is a medium size dog - Brittany Spaniel.

About the host

Hosted by Michael

We spend 10 years living in Bondi and work in Sydney because The Blue Mountains were just a bit far to commute from every day. But we finally made to move to permanently live in the Blue Mountains.

Since I grew up in countryside England I need the escape from the city.
We saw Piccolo in 2010 and both Holly and I knew we needed to buy it to rest and relax from the pressure of city live.

I'm sure there are many of you that feel the same and we hope you enjoy our little mountain getaway.

Why they chose this property

This was the second miner cottage we looked at, The first sold on the day we enquired. I have always worked in travel and knew a property like this would work well in the mountains.

It was bought for love (I know you should never buy property for love) but we thought why not. And we couldn't afford to buy where we wanted to live in Sydney.

Final 6 years late after visiting the mountains mouthly we took another jump and moved to Katoomba.

What makes this property unique

It's was built in about 1905 and retains all its character with squeaky floorboards but we have added all the mod cons and given it character with mid-century furniture.
