Step back in time without giving up modern comforts at Loughmore Cottage, a charming circa 1880 original slab hut, beautifully restored and thoughtfully styled as a boutique country retreat in the very heart of Kangaroo Valley Village.

This one-of-a-kind cottage oozes character, with timber slab walls, hand-collected vintage wares, and rustic textures that tell stories of the past – all balanced with contemporary touches for a relaxed, indulgent stay.

The centrepiece of the space is a striking stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove, surrounded by cosy sofas, rugs, and mood lighting – perfect for slow mornings and fireside evenings. The kitchenette offers everything you need for light cooking, including a stovetop, fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster, and basic cookware. The timber dining table invites you to sit, eat, or simply enjoy a cup of tea and a chat.

The bathroom blends rustic charm with modern functionality, featuring a large walk-in shower (no bath), quality linens, and warm, inviting styling. At the end of the day, sink into the super comfortable bed, made up with high-quality linen for a luxurious night’s sleep.

Outside, a private balcony offers a peaceful perch to watch the world go by, with glimpses of the surrounding escarpments and a front-row seat to the gentle rhythm of village life.

It's prime location, just 100 metres from The Friendly Inn, one of the oldest and most iconic country pubs in Australia, and within walking distance to local cafes, artisan shops, and the village centre. You're also in the perfect spot for wedding transport pick-ups, and a convenient base for outdoor adventures like canoeing, abseiling, bushwalking, and day trips through Morton National Park.

Wine lovers will enjoy a visit to Yarrawa Estate, a beautiful local winery offering tastings, cheese platters, and sweeping Valley views – just a short drive away.

Additional Information

Kangaroo Valley is a truly special place – unspoiled, peaceful, and full of natural beauty. Part of what makes it so magical is the amazing native wildlife that calls this area home. From kangaroos and wombats to lizards, insects, and other curious creatures, you’ll be sharing this beautiful environment with all kinds of local residents, great and small.

You may spot some of them around Loughmore Cottage or out and about in the Valley – it’s all part of the charm! We simply ask that you respect their space, and please drive slowly and carefully during your stay to help keep them safe.

If being close to nature and the occasional encounter with a critter isn’t quite your thing, that’s totally okay – Kangaroo Valley may not be the right fit for everyone. But for those who love being surrounded by nature and wildlife, you’re in for something truly special.

Thanks for helping us care for this beautiful place! 🌿

We loved our stay here! The interior, fittings and furniture were amazing and it felt like stepping into a different era, with beautiful luxe finishes. I couldn’t stop taking photos to send to my frie...nds and family! The bed was incredibly comfortable and the fire made it so cosy.

The location of the cottage is literally on the doorstep of town, with the shops, old buildings, pub, bakery and cafés all within an effortless stroll. The beautiful trees, flowers and atmosphere made it such a lovely place to stay, and the locals (and all their furry friends!) were so friendly too.

Justine, our host, is a fantastic human and made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. She had so many great recommendations for walks, lookouts and yummy places to eat, which made exploring the area even better. It’s also a great base for waterfalls, camping and kayaking.

We loved our stay and would happily come back!

Justine’s place is exactly what it says it is - lovely and cosy. The bed is so comfortable and the shower is divine. It’s right on the Main Street, so close to everything and Justine was so friendly and had great communication. Would recommend!

Steak Sandwiches At The Historic Friendly Inn

This classic Pub, established in 1892, served up a great steak sandwich with chips. We relaxed in the pet-friendly courtyard, enjoyed a cold drink, and met a few local characters.
