The Pod

The place was extremely cosy, clean and modern. The views were amazing and private. It is a great location to get away from the city but also close enough to local town. Would recommend for others. Thanks for having us.

Beautiful as always

Perfect stay, quite and peaceful. My only suggestion would be to add some curtains for those that do want a little sleep in. But other then that I would suggest this place to everyone I know. It is just beautiful

Great getaway for couples!

Stayed at this little pod for a three-night getaway, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. Nestled in a serene setting, the cabin provided the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Loved waking up to the sound of birds chirping and spending our evenings looking at the stars. Donna was very helpful and provided a lot of information with points of interests and how to operate things in the pod. Only downside was that a few creepy crawlies were sneaking inside through small crevices but fortunately there was insecticide provided to help.

Perfect couple retreat!

Such beautiful accomodation in the heart of the Blue Mountains. My partner and I were very happy with our experience and have recommended it to friends and family. With a kitchen equipped with everything you need and a perfect sized fire place you do not need to even leave this beautiful place during your stay. We had a blackout and awful rainy weather and even then enjoyed being able to sit in front of the fire and enjoy the sounds of the bush. Perfect for couples looking for a romantic getaway. Thank you Donna for answering our calls and keeping us updated with local electricity blackout information and for guiding us in finding extra fire wood. We will definitely be back!

Path way

When we got to the cabin car park.we could not believe it. There was a very steep pathway down to the cabin .both my hubby and I are in to 70plus age. Getting down and up this very steep pathway was very dangerous for both of us. Then it started to rain. Well this made it harder again,for us to walk up and down. I do think this is a health hazard. And needs to be improved. Otherwise the accommodation was very clean tidy.and a great area to stay.

Thank you for taking the time to review The Pod. I’m glad you appreciated and enjoyed the beauty and quality of the accommodation. The pathway is designed to suit the natural rural landscape but is definitely something to mindful of when booking if you are elderly, frail or mobility challenged.

Amazing Place and View

The property was a very unique and stylish Pod that was large enough for a couple to have a relaxing getaway. Complete with all necessary mod cons. Open the bi-fold doors and drift off into the scenery for hours on end.
