Brookside Blue Mountains

A very comfortable, very well equipped property. Plenty of firewood for the stove. Lovely outlook across Jamison Creek, and easy access to spectacular local hiking trails. Interesting birds in the garden, including buff banded rail and brown cuckoo dove.

This place was truly amazing!! The ambience, the views, the wood fire and wonderful deep bath made it just divine to stay here. They also had lots of toys and books for children which was greatly appreciated!!

Well appointed accommodation with plenty of utensils and equipment.Great location to reach the walks. Helpful and proactive host when we hit a snag with the front door lock.

Awesome

We were very comfortable. The wood fire keeps the house nice and warm. Lovely place to sit and watch the river with a book and a cuppa. Host was very quick to respond. The steps to a beautiful walk are just outside the gate.

Good location close to Wentworth Falls, great views from house and clean.

Everything about Brookside is fantastic. We have been going one weekend in June for 9 years. We love this place. Thanks Tien for being such an amazing host.

We enjoyed staying at Tien’s property - it’s a cosy and cute house right on the edge of the waterfall walk. Tien was wonderful to communicate with and the house was clean and as advertised. Highly recommend!

Very comfortable stay. Lit the fire at night. very cosy.Easy access to the walking track.The house is well equipped but an extra set of clean towels would have been appreciated.I would recommend it to friends without hesitation.

Lovely position with walks directly from house. Unfortunately we were there at a very wet time which obviously meant our enjoyment was less than it would have been if it had been dry and sunny. But a beautiful spot.

Very relaxing property

Area lovely..unfortunately the cottage needed a lot of renovations .....bed in second bedroom needed a new mattress...disappointed . No view

quiet place with lovely views close to Wentworth falls and village

Such a delightful and tranquil retreat from the hurly burly.

Such a delightful retreat.

This place is a hidden gem.It was very hot when we went but the many fans and windows kept us cool.The walking track it literally just at the door step, we sat and watched the creek for hours through the picture book window, what a great feature for this place.The front and backyard was lust and shady, perfect for someone who admires plants.I must say we will be coming back for many years to come, just such a peaceful place you can call home for you holiday!

For easy reading, I’ll split this into pros and cons. However, to be clear, none of the cons would ever keep us from staying at this lovely cottage again. It’s just good to make your decision based on having all the info. PROS - Location Perfect location! Walk out the front door to Darwin’s walking trail which meets up with several other trail heads. Train station is an 18 min walk. CONS- Only a very small boutique market in town. You’ll need to take a bus or drive to Leura or Katoomba for a supermarket. Decor/Furnishings: PROS- Eclectic country. The beds and couches were comfortable, the showers were great, the kitchen had all the amenities needed, board games & DVDs, WIFI! CONS- Decor also gave a thrift store vibe but eventually grew on me. The living room carpet is badly damaged by guests who didn’t know how to handle a potbelly furnace. Carpet had many 2-4” burns. I would suggest posting instructions or just not letting guests use it rather than risk burning down this special place. Property: PROS- The garden was beautifully landscaped with cute sitting spaces. The sitting nook inside overlooked a bird feeder, the creek, and Darwin’s trail. We sat here for hrs. Two porches, one in front and one in back with a picnic table. Atrium lounge in back with reading couch. Laundry room parking! CONS- the long driveway is a very steep decline without space to turn around so we had to back out. Park at the top of the driveway to remove that stress. 50 ft. walk.

We had a great experience of staying at Brookside. communication was easy, directions good and check-in flowed. We had a great time and the house was clean, had everything we needed and was serene. It had beautiful views and lovely walks nearby. It was close to Katoomba but much more peaceful. Thanks Tien.

Brookside Cottage was fabulous. Cosy and comfortable and in a great location

Lots of equipment and plates in the kitchen. Excellent view from the nook out over the creek and bush. Beautiful spring garden. Good fireplace.

Every think was perfect just som

A gorgeous stay! We can’t wait to go back!

What a top spot to stay. The house was perfectly suited to the surroundings. Made out mountain holiday just right.

Everything amazing. Fireplace was great and we were never cold. A perfect place to stay to unwind and escape the city! Cant fault the house at all. We will be back next year
