Ideal Blue Mountains Hideaway

Really well-maintained cottage with everything for a comfortable stay. Close to a wedding venue which we attended. It was perfect for our 3-night stay. Not quite cold enough for us to light the log fire, though the mist and rain made it very tempting.

Ticks all our boxes

A comfortable cottage was updated and is even more comfortable this time. The new bathroom is a stunner. The setting is just beautiful and walking distance to cafés and shops. We'll come again for sure. Next time in winter to get the fire going.

Charm, comfort and convenience

Evenstar is a delightful, classic Blue Mountains studio cottage, set in a beautiful garden. It is close to the village but down a quiet street. It has luxuries, such as a spa bath, and a slow combustion fire, but also has conveniences such as a "walk in" shower and excellent electric heating.

We enjoyed our stay a lot. It is a lovely cabin in a beatiful backyard, with lots of attention to details that make you feel welcome. There is a little fireplace inside which is great for the cold and rainy days. Overall very cozy.

Super cosy cottage!

We so enjoyed our little break! So many thoughtful inclusions that made the stay feel so homely. The fire was so cosy and calming, and the underfloor heating in the bathroom was a frequent happy surprise. It’s an easy walk to shops and a great pub for dinner. Thanks Olwen!
