Cuyong Cottage, Katoomba<\/h2>\n
This charming Federation cottage has a modern, minimalist interior with all-white and wood d\u00e9cor, pretty stained glass windows and French doors that open onto a flower-filled garden. The home offers space for six adults, has a back porch for barbecues and offers all the amenities you\u2019d expect from a Superhost. If you love to cook, Cuyong Cottage<\/a><\/u> has a dreamy kitchen and vegetable garden. As well as being within a cooee of Katoomba\u2019s Echo Point, the cottage is within walking distance of restaurants, bars and pubs.<\/a><\/p>\n This charming Cuyong cottage.<\/p><\/div>\n This is one of the most character-filled Blue Mountains\u2019 cabins we\u2019ve seen on Airbnb. It\u2019s a riot of colour and personality that is at once quirky, comfortable and cosy. Enter through an antique garden gate to access MontPierre Mountain Cottage<\/a><\/u>, which is tucked away in the picturesque village of Kurrajong Heights. Outside, you\u2019ll find a wood-fired pizza oven, day bed, outdoor bathtub and private guest terrace with regional views.<\/p>\n This is one of the most character-filled Blue Mountains\u2019 cabins.<\/p><\/div>\n This rustic Eco Woolshed<\/a><\/u> cabin manages to avoid cringy Australiana tchotchkes even though it has accents that have a distinctly Aussie twang. For instance, although there\u2019s an inordinate amount of corrugated iron and timber in use, the architecturally designed eco cabins still manage to be bright and airy with floor-to-ceiling windows that open out onto a deck with dreamy views. There are just two eco cabins on the 100-hectare property, which looks out over the blue-hued mountains and bony escarpment that backdrops Blackheath.<\/p>\n Eco Woolshed cabin manages to avoid cringy Australiana tchotchkes.<\/p><\/div>\n Although it\u2019s tiny in stature, Piccolino<\/a><\/u> punches above its weight in terms of its location and amenities. In fact, the private retreat maximises its footprint by squeezing in as much amenity as it can into a small space, which encourages guests to focus on those expansive bush views. Proximity to local attractions<\/a> is another draw as the property is near to a glow worm tunnel, Newnes Ruins and ancient Indigenous rock art at Mayingu Marragu. The artfully styled tiny house has a fire pit and more than 40 hectares of land to explore on foot or by bike.<\/p>\n Piccolino punches above its weight.<\/p><\/div>\n The Dream Cabin<\/a><\/u> looks like it might have been designed by Dr. Seuss. Blending corrugated iron with polished concrete and rustic timber beams, the whimsical light-filled cabin also features a hanging chair and ceiling festooned with fairy lights. The Dream Cabin has an outside shower and separate bath house with a hot tub and views over Bowen\u2019s Creek Gorge from the lofted bedroom, which is accessed via a ladder. Enjoy a walk to Bowen\u2019s Creek or kick off your shoes and curl up by the fireplace.<\/p>\n The Dream Cabin is Dr Seuss’ fantasy.<\/p><\/div>\n Cooee Cottage<\/a><\/u> is the definition of dinky. And if we were to judge it on its exterior alone, the diminutive dwelling with wrap-around verandah would be given a gold star. The 112-year-old weatherboard residence looks like it has been dipped in Dulux Emerald Delight, a colour that is coded complimentary to the surrounding greenery. The Katoomba cottage is in a quiet setting not far from the train station and town centre and the option to light a fire in cooler weather is a welcome extra. It\u2019s a very homey vibe indeed.<\/p>\n Cooee Cottage is the definition of dinky.<\/p><\/div>\n The Machinery Shed<\/a><\/u> on the Shipley Plateau regularly ranks in the Top 3 most wish-listed Airbnbs in Australia. As one of four luxury accommodation options at Logan Brae Retreats, one of the biggest selling points of the tastefully restored machinery shed is its eye-catching design followed by the fact it\u2019s located on a 100-year-old working apple orchard. Fight for who gets first dibs on the outdoor treetop tub, which is hidden amid the trees and the perfect place to unwind.<\/p>\n The Machinery Shed regularly ranks in the Top 3 most wish-listed Airbnbs in Australia.<\/p><\/div>\n This Katoomba house is blessed with great natural light. But the real bonus at Cloud Parade<\/a><\/u> is the view over the Three Sisters and Mt Solitary. The designer home, which is set on a bony ridge of the iconic escarpment, is also in the flight path of passing clouds. Pick up a copy of The Cloud Collector\u2019s Handbook<\/a><\/u><\/em> so you have an excuse to stay glued to the lounge near the fireplace in the living room to identify every cloud that floats by and tick them off your checklist. Extra points are awarded for anoraks who spot the oh-so-rare mammatus.<\/p>\n Natural light at Cloud Parade.<\/p><\/div>\n Grab your nearest flannelette-clad faux lumberjack and make them earn their stripes by chopping firewood for the combustion fire that is at the heart of this classic timber slab mountain retreat. Guests keen to relax indoors can crawl into the lofted bed at Nungaroo Cottage<\/a><\/u> which is encircled by cool-climate gardens and quiet bushland. The owners of Nungaroo Cottage are Bilpin\u2019s very own Dr Dolittles and there is all manner of animals — including rescue horses and donkeys \u2013 that will give you a sneak peek of the rural idyll.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/s1.at.atcdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/1.-Cuyong-cottage.jpg.jpg\")
