Bottlebrush Cabin cosy private cabin in the trees

Pleasant surroundings and quite comfortable Positive: Clean lovely setting Negative: Hot water faulty. No breakfast goods provided. Nowhere to sit inside other than on bed.

Positive: Handy to everything in Leura and especially for our family who were literally 300m away in Queens Rd. The birds in the garden and the quiet ambience were delightful. The bed was comfortable. There was adequate storage for clothes. Negative: Access hassles with the folk in the neighbouring Banksia Cottage blocking or partially blocking the driveway. The access from the parking area is quite steep, so it won't suit folk with heavy luggage or ambulatory issues. I don't remember reading about this in the advert, but maybe I missed it! Cold bathroom! Needs a heater and/or warm floor covering. Other than the bathroom sink there is nowhere to wash dishes and nowhere to drain them. The cushions for the round cast iron outdoor chairs shown in the advert were dirty. We had some issues with lack of hot water due to the circuit breaker tripping.the Manager was helpful, though, and we managed to tweek it.

Good for one night stay Positive: Location was beautiful in forest surroundings and only short drive to major sightseeing and shopping centre. The owner was very responsive to calls and easy to contact. The laundry facilities with washing machine and dryer in external building was helpful. The cottage was clean. Bathroom and shower were large in size and accessible . It had good heating. Negative: The Cottage was extremely small in size, with no kitchen sink and no indoor dining facilities. Unfortunately, it rained continuously during our 3 night stay, so were unable to use the small outdoor table, chairs and BBQ on the deck. Having to use bathroom sink to fill kettle and wash dishes was very undesirable. Access to the property required going down a steep drive way and steeps, as it is located behind another mu h larger accommodation house. Unfortunately, I did not realise this at the time l booked this accommodation. I would recommend this cottage for one night stay only.

Positive: Great location. Quiet and easy to find and get to but still private/secluded. Well furnished and great facilities e.g. BBQ, kitchen basics, cleaning products, hanging space, heating & cooling, spacious bathroom. Owners were also really helpful and friendly.

Positive: Bed comfortable, shower hot, plenty utensils. Listed as cottage but just a cabin basic kitchenette Negative: Access was horrific.
