Set on 40 acres of pristine land near Kurrajong, in the Hawkesbury area, we are tucked away in the foothills of the Blue Mountains. This is the perfect place for anyone looking to relax in the peace and tranquillity of the rainforest listening only to the birds and the gentle breeze in the trees. Take a walk to enjoy the natural beauty of the wild bushland that abounds, sip fine wine picked up on your day’s travel into the valley or sit by the potbelly stove relaxing; do as much or as little as you like. THE COTTAGE: Mud Brick Cottage is a quaint two story cottage built as the original family home. It has three bedrooms, two outdoor entertaining spaces and a small kitchen/dining area. The large loft bedroom has a queen and two kid singles; and the bedrooms downstairs are one queen (attached to the outside and accessed via the veranda) and one twin (internal). Fresh linen and towels are provided and the beds have electric blankets. There's a basic kitchenette and private BBQ to cater for simple meals. The cottage boasts a pot belly stove for heating and stays relatively cool in summer due to its position in the trees and the mud bricks. A double spa bath set in a garden conservatory is perfect for unwinding. THE PROPERTY: Mud Brick Cottage is one of five secluded, private, self-contained rustic cabins, each in their own separate area of forest on the property. They are available individually or as a group for up to 24 people. A tennis court is available for use up the hill at the main house. Pets welcome by arrangement. SIGHTS: Nearby attractions include the beautiful botanical gardens of Mt Tomah, quaint Kurrajong village, Richmond markets and the historic Windsor all within 10 to 30 mins drive and well worth a visit. On our doorstep are two World Heritage National Parks, the Blue Mountains and the Wollomi, not to mention the Grose River ideal for a quick swim, or the mighty Hawkesbury River for more. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Massage ### Parking and transport - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchenette - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Jetted bathtub - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor entertainment area - Outdoor furniture ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Meal delivery service ### Location highlights - In a village ### Things to do - Tennis ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Humane treatment of captive wild animals - Recycling - Unit size: 807 square feet ## Similar properties ![2 bedrooms, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34650000/34643300/34643203/70f5002c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Jacaranda Cottage @ Hidden Valley Retreat Cottages Grose Vale - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 32 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-06&endDate=2025-11-07&selected=34643203&PinnedHotelID=34643203&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34630000/34626900/34626871/w1288h855x0y0-6ca1fe22.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Willow Cottage @ Hidden Valley Retreat Cottages Grose Vale - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 9.4 Exceptional 31 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-06&endDate=2025-11-07&selected=34626871&PinnedHotelID=34626871&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/32000000/31510000/31505200/31505137/8e96c492.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Magnolia Cottage @ Hidden Valley Retreat Cottages Grose Vale - Hot tub - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning 9.8 Exceptional 66 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-06&endDate=2025-11-07&selected=31505137&PinnedHotelID=31505137&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34670000/34661100/34661010/26b2e0eb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cabbage Tree Cottage @ Hidden Valley Retreat Cottages Grose Vale - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 27 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-06&endDate=2025-11-07&selected=34661010&PinnedHotelID=34661010&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101430000/101422700/101422609/b839164e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Tranquil Farmstay Cottage KURRAJONG on acres pet friendly 1 hr Syd Grose Vale - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning 8.0 Very good 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-06&endDate=2025-11-07&selected=101422609&PinnedHotelID=101422609&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/111000000/110360000/110355400/110355323/774311d5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxury House 5 Bedrooms River View Windsor - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly £398 includes taxes & fees 24 Oct - 25 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-24&endDate=2025-10-25&selected=110355323&PinnedHotelID=110355323&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Microwave, oven, stovetop, dishwasher](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112880000/112875500/112875440/1714daa8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### SairParadise luxuries and affordable stay for all families and couples .
