Pet-friendly
Enjoy stunning view of the Blue Mountains from this unique farmhouse. Self contained and filled with collection of antiques and curios from the past. A unique house hand built with love by its owners over a period of 10 years.
This is an adults only property ( 4 maximum - please not we do not allow visitors during your stay ) - it is a rural property so dam and pond nearby are unfenced and house contains too many irreplaceable items.
please be aware we do expect the house to be left tidy at checkout as it is also our home and hope people will treat it with respect during their stay , we do prepare it ourselves for guests before and after each stay and we do also stay on the property ( in another cottage nearby ) if you need assistance .
There is also another little holdiday cottage near kookawood aprox 30 mteres away it is very private with dense hedging and access via rear driveway so guests there do not need to go past kookawood . But we do ask kookawood guests respect their privacy and desire for a peaceful stay .
Relax in the amazing outdoor private bath overlooking beautiful views. Stay warm in front of the huge open wood fire place or enjoy the amazing views from the outdoor fire pit (not permitted during fire ban days or hot and or windy days)
We do have bathroom inside house with bath and overhead shower plus separate eco toilet room and hand basin .
Large flatscreen TV has Foxtel and DVD player
netflix is available if you use your own netflix account
and mobile hotspot data
The driveway is unsealed dirt/gravel and not suitable for cars with low profile wheels or those that dont wish to take them off bitumen....
