Banksia Cottage is a perfect getaway in the heart of the Blue Mountains. Great for couples, friends & families looking to take a break but still stay in easy reach of everything the area has to offer. Close to local walks, lookout points and historic towns, you will not be short of activities. With a newly renovated bathroom with a bath, and a cozy lounge with a gas fireplace, you can really put your feet up and unwind no matter if you’re looking for an active break, or one that’s slower paced.

In its own private setting, Banksia Cottage has everything you’ll need to enjoy your break either getting out in nature or curling up in front of the fire with a book. With two ample queen rooms plus a seperate workspace or nursery room, you will be comfortable with friends, family or taking a working break. The cottage boasts a newly renovated family bathroom with bath (Jan 2023), fully equipped kitchen-dining and a cozy lounge with gas fireplace so you can relax and enjoy.

The large backyard is perfect to take a break from the busy itinerary, if only to catch your breath. Complete with a cubby house, slide and swings spend some quality time with yourself or your loved ones. The property is set in 4000 SQMs of conservation land and is available to be explored directly from the rear of the property.

The property has a separate laundry with washing machine, ironing facilities, dryer and clothes hanging. This is a shared facility with Bottlebrush Cabin and free for guests to use.

Professionally serviced linen and towels, toiletries, tea, coffee and basic cooking supplies are all provided and free unlimited NBN-connected wi-fi, is available for guests

Self-check-in via key lockbox.

Guests have access to the entire cottage. There is parking available in the driveway at the top of the property however please note that the driveway is shared with our sister property, Bottlebrush Cabin, so must remain available for all to use. Strathearn Road is very quiet with plenty of street parking available. The bushland, garden and laundry is shared with guests at Bottlebrush Cabin but both properties are completely sperate. The garage is locked and not accessible to guests.

Guests will be sent all details required for private enjoyment of their stay.

Leura is arguably the prettiest village in the Blue Mountains filled with character heritage homes and gardens. The vibrant town centre has a host of cafes and restaurants alongside eclectic homewares, fashion and antique shops. Located just east of Katoomba, on the edge of the Blue Mountains National Park, you can soak up the magical views at Sublime Point lookout, picnic at Leura Cascades or take one of the countless other walks in the area.

Banksia Cottage is a 15 minute walk into Leura or a 2 minute car ride.

Banksia Cottage sits in large grounds alongside its sister property, Bottlebrush Cabin. While Banksia Cottage is completely separate and private for its guests, it can be booked together with Bottlebrush Cabin for groups of up to 6 adults.

Banksia Cottage is for quiet enjoyment, we do not cater to parties.

On departure, the cottage must be left in the same clean condition as found on arrival.

Dogs are allowed at the property, but guests are to note that the grounds are bush land and are not fully fenced and sealed. Due to its size, the cabin would not be suitable for large dogs or multiple animals. No dogs are to be left or tied up outside the property to disturb the enjoyment of other guests.

    The location of the property was great for us. The 2 gripes we had were the shower and the parking space. The five adults all commented on the difficulty of getting the temperature control of the shower to get to warm, and to remain on warm. The car parking was also difficult to navigate. It's a one-way driveway that shares a space for 2 cars (1 for the cottage and 1 for the cabin), but it is dependent on both cars leaving space for the other. The problem is that both cars have to be exact in where they place their vehicle or it doesn't work. On both days we had to ask the people in the cabin to please move their car so we could get out. That was super annoying but we did all agree that the cottage was cute and comfortable

    The cottage inside is very lovely. Bedding and bedrooms beautiful. Small living areas but very comforatble. Once the fire was alight the cottage was warm and lovely for our start to winter stay. A modern bathroom or newly done very lovely. An older kitchen however has all you need to make a meal. There is a very narrow car space we found it easier to park up on road. As the lower cottage guests parked in the middle of driveway. Also a bit of walk into Leura 20 minutes.Overall a very positive stay in the moutains in a quaint cottage and made very cozy with gas heater and plenty of lush bedding; doonas and rugs.

    The house had all the things we needed, the location was nice and had a nice surround that is very relaxing The house is highly suitable for a 3 year old child with a playground and accessories, variety of interesting books, and a collection of interesting toys. My granddaughter absolutely adored the house and we will definitely stay there again.

    Could not get free channels and no Netflix.My little dog kept finding pieces of glass, which was under the lounge.Bed in main room was fantastic, second bed was terrible.Could not close the gauze door as it had no workable lock, considering this house is dog friendly this is totally unacceptable.They need to update the kitchen and pots and pans are just shoved into a corner cupboard.Unfortunately I can not recommend this house,

    Lovely property, perfect for a small family. I stayed with my toddler and baby and everything we needed was there, from the crib to toys and plastic plates. The heating worked well and there were also heaters in the bedrooms which I only used for the baby one night.

    We stayed here for 2 nights. The cottage is small, but perfect for our family of 4 with 2 children under 7. Communication with the owners was great. They provided us with all the information we needed and checked in with us via email during our stay. The cottage was clean, tidy and the gas fireplace heated the house really well. Although the kitchen was the original so quite outdated, it was stocked with all the kitchen appliances we needed. View from the main bedroom looking out at the tree tops was beautiful. I walked into the main village of Leura on one occasion, it was about a 18min walk (brisk walk) and I had to cross over the freeway and walk up a hill. So its definitely not a leisurely walk that young kids would be happy to do! Overall we were really happy with this place and I would highly recommend it
