Highland Cottage – Historic 1920s Gem near Leura Mall



Welcome to Highland Cottage, a beautifully restored 1920s home just 700 metres from Leura Mall, tucked away on a quiet leafy street.



Once built by miners when Leura was still surrounded by bushland, this charming cottage now blends heritage character with modern comfort. Picture yourself sipping a glass of wine by the fireplace or enjoying a cup of tea in the nostalgic sunroom — it’s easy toimagine the stories of those who once called this place home.



Come and experience a unique mountain getaway in one of the Blue Mountains’ most vibrant and historic towns.



The Space



Highland Cottage is ideal for families and friends looking to enjoy the authentic Blue Mountains lifestyle with all the comforts of modern living.



We’re just a short 700-metre stroll to Leura Mall and the train station, yet surrounded by peaceful greenery — with maple trees, lemon trees, and even strawberries growing around the property.



Step through the bright and spacious sunroom, perfect for your morning coffee or an evening glass of wine while watching the sunrise or sunset.



Bedrooms & Layout



All three bedrooms are elegantly styled and furnished with luxurious linen, down duvets, French flax pillowcases, and electric blankets for year-round comfort.



Bedroom 1: 1 x Queen bed – master bedroom with views of the sunroom and front garden



Bedroom 2: 1 x Queen bed – overlooks the rear garden



Bedroom 3: 1 x Single bed – ideal for a child or solo guest



The cottage features two working fireplaces — one in the lounge and one in the kitchen.



Living & Dining



Relax in the cosy lounge, complete with a digital TV, large sofa, and the warmth of the original fireplace — perfect for gathering with loved ones.



The spacious kitchen and dining area forms the heart of the home, featuring another fireplace with a classic cooktop where you can still boil water. The dining table seats up to six guests, creating a warm and communal atmosphere for shared meals after a day exploring the mountains.



Throughout the home, you’ll find original artworks by Melbourne-based artist Cate Maddie, known for her modern take on natural still-life scenes.



Pet-Friendly Stay



Your furry friends are welcome at Highland Cottage!

Our fully fenced backyard with lush gardens makes it a safe and enjoyable space for pets to explore.



Please bring your own pet bedding and bowls, and kindly keep pets off the furniture and beds.

A $50 pet fee per pet per stay applies (maximum of 2 pets).



Seasons in Leura



Autumn: The garden glows with golden maple leaves — a photographer’s dream.



Winter: A favourite season in the mountains — enjoy the indoor fireplaces with firewood provided (June–August). Additional firewood can be purchased from nearby petrol stations.



Year-round comfort: Gas heating warms the lounge and kitchen quickly, while split-system air conditioning in both main bedrooms keeps you cool in summer and cosy in winter.



Additional Information



Please enter the total number of guests when booking so we can prepare sufficient towels and linen.



The base rate includes up to 4 guests. Additional guests are charged $60 per person per night.



Out of respect for this historic home and our peaceful neighbourhood, we ask that you remove shoes indoors and avoid loud gatherings or parties.



Come unwind, reconnect, and enjoy the best of heritage charm and modern comfort at Highland Cottage — your perfect Blue Mountains escape.

    A cosy, beautifully renovated little country cottage. Fit our little group of 3 very comfortably and only a short walk over to the cafes of Leura Mall.

    We loved staying in this beautifully decorated cottage. We enjoyed using the living spaces and even though it was January it was cool enough one evening to light a fire in the lounge room! It is close to Leura shops and other nearby attractions. It is worth noting that the second bathroom is in an adjoining building. This was unexpected and meant that we all mostly shared the main bathroom that has a lovely leadlight window between the bathroom and hallway.

    Lovely home. Was nice to relax and talk on the veranda. Was a quite hilly walk to Leaura. Did not have tea coffee or sugar A coffee maker with no pods. Just a few things that would have been appreciated if supplied. Keri

    Just the perfect little cottage for a family of 4 + pup. It’s so great to have such a stylish and thoughtfully furnished place available in such a great spot. We did some great bushwalking near Blackheath this time. Dinner at Polar Bear and Jiggle in Leura. Both were fantastic. Kitchen is well set up. I really appreciate the good knives. This is rare!

    Nice stay but unfortunately the advertised spa whirlpool does not exist and despite a very new looking large TV set the connections for the aerial are incorrect (adapter required / would be ideal if installed correctly), meaning we were unable to watch anything. We were just outside the winter cut off for provided firewood though still cold so we purchased firewood locally and fire was lovely. Easy walk up to Leura village (bit of an uphill climb). Overall we really enjoyed our stay and perfect for 2 couples thank you

    We loved the property. There were 4 close friends. We had a ball. The place was great. It was warm and cosy. The only issue was the fireplace where there was no newspaper or fire lighters. But overall loved the place and would recommend.

    Whilst the blue mountains is often a cold place to stay, gas heating and a fireplace is provided with split aircons in the bedrooms make it a very comfortable house. The most special part of our stay was, being a pet friendly residence, that we could take our dog with us making it a perfect family getaway.
