Characterful cottage in good location.

The property overall was great. Our only criticism was, as 2 older ladies the beds are too firm. Neither of us slept well.

Excellent experience!

The property is an 1870's two-bedroom house centrally located in Mittagong. It has been beautifully restored such that it has retained it's original character, but been enhanced by the inclusion of modern appliances, etc. It is very cosy, clean and relaxing. Rod was particularly helpful.

Melbourne Christmas Riadtrip

What a quaint, small & cosy cottage. Right in the heart of Mittagong; walking distance to cafes and shopping. It was fun going in back in time to spend time in an old compact house. Facilities were adequate, beds comfortable. Recommend giving it a try. We would certainly come back

Lovely Highlands Cottage

Appletree Cottage is a beautifully restored sandstone cottage in the middle of Mittagong, around the corner from great restaurants and cafes. It is decorated with curios and charm and has the latest appliances and is fully equipped. There is also a private back yard. We only stayed for a weekend but it would be comfortable for much longer, especially as a base to explore the Highlands. The owner was helpful and generously left us an amazing hamper, fresh fruit and flowers that was a great treat for us. Highly Recommended.

Olde World Gem

Lovely little cottage, very well renovated with new appliances and modern fittings, merging nicely with the beautiful original sandstone building. Furnishings and decor are quaint, tasteful reminders of a bygone era. The kitchen is very well kitted out - there is really nothing more you could want to make your stay enjoyable. The extra treats left by the hosts were very much appreciated and a nice welcome to our stay. Lots of little luxuries, like the heated floors, electric blankets and gas fireplace made our winter stay very comfortable and enjoyable. Central location within walking distance to lots of eateries and the town centre, although be aware that some places are closed Monday/Tuesday. Great central spot to explore the beautiful southern highlands. Make sure you walk (or drive) to Lake Alexandra - a hidden gem just down the road and a great spot with water birds, turtles, playground and picnic areas.

Positives- Lovely heritage stone cottage- Promixity to Mittagong shops- Gas fire- Under floor heating in kitchen/dining/bathroomSuggestions to enhance the experience:- Replying to initial communication after booking to acknowledge receipt of this interaction. No response to my message at time of booking. (which Stayz suggested I do)- Providing essential check in details in the week leading up to booking so the guest can prepare for trip ahead eg Outline whether keys or pincode will be needed to access property (and when this information will be provided) and parking arrangements- Glass platter for cheese/cold meats/ olives etc- Towelling bath mat for when you step out of the shower.- mattress topper for beds as they are extremely hard- Wi-fi is unstable and kept dropping out.- the ability to connect to the "Anyview Cast" on the TV as that you can use your personal Netflix account.

Cozy elegance!

Appletree Cottage is the ultimate in warmth and elegance. We stayed here for 3 nights and loved every minute of it. On our first night, we were pleasantly surprised to find a complimentary cheese platter and a bottle of red wine which we polished off over board games by the fire, making for an immediate relaxing start to the weekend. We had 3 great nights sleeps as the beds are very comfortable and warm too, thanks to the electric blankets and firm mattresses! The underfloor heating in the kitchen and bathroom are a very pleasant surprise and make it a little less painful to get up to the go to the bathroom in the middle of the night! The bathroom was definitely our favourite room! We loved the floor to ceiling brick, shower and deep bath tub. Everything you need is available here- an iron, blow dryer, a fully stocked kitchen and even slippers if your feet get cold!! The morning sun that spills into the kitchen from the garden makes for a luxurious morning coffee and immediate mood booster to start the day! We would come back to Appletree Cottage every time! Thanks Kathy and Rod!

Beautiful cottage and perfect for four of us

We had a great stay here with friends. The pictures on the listing give a perfect representation of what to expect. It was absolutely spotless and the kitchen is modern and has everything you need. The hosts left us lots of goodies (including pears from their orchard, cheese and wine) and the underfloor heating was welcome on a chilly morning! Would 100% recommend.

A Delightfully Elegant Cottage

Appletree Cottage is exquisitely charming in every aspect with tasteful and luxurious furnishings and details enhancing a truly enjoyable and comfortable experience. The cottage is immaculately clean throughout and exceptionally equipped with the contemporary kitchen and bathroom complementing the beautiful sandstone/sandstock areas and elegant antique furniture. Situated in a tranquil location, a short walk away is the lovely Lake Alexandra as well as an array of Mittagong’s shops, cafes and restaurants whilst other delights of the Southern Highlands are only a short drive away. It was an absolutely pleasurable and memorable stay in Appletree Cottage.

Loved it!

We had a cosy winter break in this cottage and enjoyed every minute of it. We were greeted with a lovely cheese platter and a fridge stocked with staples, which was very much appreciated. The property is located within easy walking distance to the main street of Mittagong as well as the local shopping centre, however, is still very quiet. The cottage is decorated beautifully and laid out with 5 star sheets and towels as well as the cosy gas fire and underfloor heating. The operation of the cottage, heating, TV etc is very well explained and the owners are just a phone call or text away should you have any questions. I highly recommend this property for charm, the hosts and the location. Thank you for a lovely stay!
