80th birthday celebration

good size property for the 11 family members who stayed. Good quality bed linen and beds. Felt the house was looking a little tired, maybe a coat of paint would freshen it up Kitchen was well stocked with crockery and cookware. We all enjoyed our stay.

Amazing Stay !!!

We recently stayed at Glen Isla House for a family birthday and had a fabulous time. The house and grounds are completely charming and had everything we needed for a great weekend. The house is in a great location, very close to the Falls and is well appointed with comfy beds, a fully equipped kitchen, ducted heating and excellent stereo (good cd collection too!) just to name a few! The billiard table and dart board were a big hit with the family. The owner Amy is really lovely, so helpful, easy going and nice to talk to. We had a wonderful stay and for anyone looking at staying in the Blue Mountains I highly recommend this property. We are looking forward to another stay in the future.

Gorgeous cottage

We absolutely loved our stay here. Owners were fantastic to deal with. Cottage was very clean, well equipped and the location was incredible. Only oversight by us is that we didn’t realise until we arrived that the kids room is actually external from the main house (separate entrance to the cottage, not inside and upstairs like I thought). Our primary school aged children were too young to sleep in this space alone as there is no access directly from the house without walking outside and at night that is not ideal. This meant we had to change our sleeping arrangements to accommodate. Otherwise, this property was perfect.

Proximity to Wentworth Falls walking tracks

A lovely, spacious, well equipped house. Perfect for 60+ year olds. A bonus was its proximity to walking tracks and a beautiful gallery. Lush surrounds. April a good time to visit as the sun is still warm. One fridge was not sufficient for a group of 8.

Comfy, spacious, well-appointed house, great for groups

Glen Isla is ideal for family or friend reunions or gatherings. The house is spacious and comfortable, the kitchen has everything you could possibly need, there are lots of entertainment options, the garden is beautiful and it’s an easy walk to the various lookouts surrounding Wentworth Falls. A great place to stay.

Great Location and beautiful home and gardens

We stayed at Glen IsIa for a few days and thought the home was a great getaway for our family of 7. Plenty of sleeping options and the kids enjoyed a few games of pool in the garage. The home is close to the Blue Mountains attractions and we enjoyed a good meal just up the road at the bowling club.

Wonderful Property

We recently had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful historic home . A great place that fit 12 of us in very comfortably , I would definitely recommend Glen Isla ,especially if you are looking for a place big enough for a large group,, we did not want for anything & was also an easy walk to Wentworth Fall & the surrounding walks . I will definitely return .

Spectacular Historical Homestead

This beautiful house is set in a lovely well kept garden. The area is quiet and private. Bedrooms are spacious and comfortable with high quality linen. There are 3 big bathrooms and a nicely setup kitchen. The living area and dining room are also large enough for big groups. Plenty of outside areas for sitting, eating, and a very good large BBQ as well. Glen Isla is the perfect location for family reunions or special celebrations, groups looking for something classy but nice. Highly recommended.

Excellent place to stay - exactly as advertised

Glen Isla was perfect for our family reunion. It was exactly as advertised, with no surprises - a rare find. The bedrooms and living areas were beautifully appointed, clean and tasteful. Entertainment for the home was provided. All 3 bathrooms were perfectly clean and kept in excellent order. Linen supplied was high quality and immaculate. The gardens are beautiful; a quiet, pretty place for a group of people to relax. We grew up in the Blue Mountains, so the area was familiar, and it's a great place for locals and tourists alike.

Everything you could wish for, and more

We had a fabulous, relaxed family reunion weekend at Glen Isla. Comfortable queen beds in 5 bedrooms, plus 4 singles in the loft. A kitchen with everything that opens and shuts (even a popcorn maker!). Over 100 DVD's to choose from along with plenty of books and magazines. All this and a stone's throw from Wentworth Falls Lookout and walking tracks ranging from short to long and easy to difficult.

Fabulous, perfect!

I couldn't recommend Glen Isla highly enough. Amy gave beautiful and friendly service from my very first enquiry right through to my last. Amy was efficient and lovely and I really appreciated all of her help. Glen Isla is a magnificent property and it was the most beautiful house to celebrate my mum’s 70 birthday in. My mum was delighted and loved every second spent in Glen Isla with all of her family. Everything went really well. It was a very special weekend with memories we will all treasure. Our kids ranged in age from 3 to 15 years. They all had a ball. They were climbing up in the trees, playing in the garden, loving the outdoor fire pit, riding scooters, playing pool and more! It was close to Wentworth Falls walk which was beautiful. Totally recommend. Perfect for a large family gathering. We had 5 families.

Wonderfully presented old homestead

We hired the house for the weekend to celebrate my grandmothers 80th birthday. We luckily decided to choose a weekend when it snowed in the mountains which on arrival there was evidence of it still in the backyard. We loved every minute of our stay and did not venture out of the house at all only for supplies at one point. We will definitely be back

It truly is a special place to be to soak up all that the Mountains has to offer.
