Cute and cosy with a wood fireplace, country style kitchen and tranquil garden views from every window. Only minutes away from spectacular scenic lookouts and bushwalks in Mount Victoria, as well as close to key Blue Mountains attractions. A comfortable and cosy home base for couples or small groups seeking serenity in the beautiful Blue Mountains! This cottage is one of two attached heritage-listed terrace houses built in 1880 by the father of legendary Australian bush poet, Henry Lawson. They were commissioned for John Berghofer, an important forefather of the Blue Mountains, who constructed the original road through Mount Victoria. The cottages have been lovingly restored with special original features preserved, and a few modern comforts added. Enjoy a morning coffee or breakfast on the private sunny patio surrounded by cottage gardens, and cosy evenings curled up by the crackling fireplace with a glass of wine and a good book. BEDROOM 1: The front bedroom has a queen size bed, bedside tables, lamps and views of the front garden. BEDROOM 2: Double size bedroom with bedside tables, lamps, dresser and views of the side garden. BEDROOM 3: A cosy nook with single bed, located upstairs in the loft. Please be aware that the staircase is very narrow and steep, so may not be suitable for very young children or guests with limited mobility. Freshly laundered bed linen and towels are provided. KITCHEN: The country-style kitchen is fully-equipped with everything you may need to whip up a feast. LOUNGE ROOM: The cosy lounge room at the front of the cottage has a sofa, armchairs, TV and wood burning combustion fireplace. You'll also find a collection of books and board games to enjoy. BATHROOM: The bathroom has a shower over bath, toilet and basin. OUTDOORS: The cottage has an undercover veranda at the front, as well as a private rear patio. Enjoy a walk around the beautiful cottage gardens that change with the seasons. LOCATION: The Jenolan Caves, Mount Tomah Botanic Gardens, Blackheath, Katoomba, Leura and Wentworth Falls are all also easily accessible by car on the Great Western Highway. Please feel free to ask for any more details! Mount Victoria is very quiet and blissfully calm. There are no crowds of tourists, rows of shops or busy restaurants. We think this makes our village extra special, however if you are looking for lots of shopping and busy lookouts, the cottage is only 15-20 minutes by car or train from the more well-known tourist hotspots of Katoomba or Leura. The cottage is located conveniently close to Mount Victoria train station, with fantastic cafes, quirky antique stores, gift shops, parks and spectacular scenic lookouts only steps from the front door. ## Property amenities ### Internet -
