About this property

Glen Isla – Blue Mountains Accommodation for 12, 6bdm Historic Blue Mountains Cottage - Sleeps 12

  • Welcome to Glen Isla — a beautifully restored 1885 weatherboard home in Wentworth Falls, offering spacious Blue Mountains accommodation for families and groups of up to 12 guests.

    Originally built as a letting house for Sydney families escaping to the fresh mountain air, Glen Isla is still welcoming guests more than 140 years later. We’ve been hosting since 2013 and are proud to continue that tradition.

    Why guests love Glen Isla

    • 6 bedrooms, sleeping up to 12 guests

    • Three bedrooms with French doors opening onto the wraparound bullnose verandah

    • Large living room with cosy wood-burning fireplace

    • Pool table, books and board games

    • Ducted heating and air conditioning

    • Fully equipped kitchen

    • Indoor dining for 12

    One of Glen Isla’s best features is its location. It’s a short, flat 5-minute walk to the start of some of the best hikes in the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains National Park.

    Wentworth Falls, Leura and Katoomba are all within easy reach, along with the Three Sisters, Echo Point and Scenic World.

    After a day exploring the Mountains, come home to a game of pool, dinner in the garden or a cosy evening beside the fire.

    Whether you’re planning an extended-family getaway, a weekend with friends or a special celebration, Glen Isla offers something increasingly hard to find — a beautiful historic home where up to 12 guests can stay together, surrounded by gardens and just minutes from the Blue Mountains National Park.

Glen Isla, is a beautiful, old style house in Wentworths, accommodates 12 people easily. We had six ladies so plenty of room. The host Amy, was wonderful, only a phone call away if we needed anything. She had firewood organised within two hours of us asking. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and would definitely recommend Glen Isla to any groups wanting a beautiful Blue Mountains escape.

80th birthday celebration

good size property for the 11 family members who stayed. Good quality bed linen and beds. Felt the house was looking a little tired, maybe a coat of paint would freshen it up Kitchen was well stocked with crockery and cookware. We all enjoyed our stay.

Right from the start when booking Amy- the host was wonderful! Great open and clear communication and a pressure to liaise and correspond with. The homestead “Glen Isla” was equally as wonderful and had such attention to detail with the charm of a beautiful historic and lovingly restored home. There was nothing one could want for- everything was there and more! The hosts had auch attention to detail and thoughtfulness to make the stay truly special and memorable. Glen Isla is highly recommended and I will be letting my friends know how wonderful it is and should be a “must stay!” for anyone visiting Wentworth Falls!!

Proximity to Wentworth Falls walking tracks

A lovely, spacious, well equipped house. Perfect for 60+ year olds. A bonus was its proximity to walking tracks and a beautiful gallery. Lush surrounds. April a good time to visit as the sun is still warm. One fridge was not sufficient for a group of 8.

Gorgeous cottage

We absolutely loved our stay here. Owners were fantastic to deal with. Cottage was very clean, well equipped and the location was incredible. Only oversight by us is that we didn’t realise until we arrived that the kids room is actually external from the main house (separate entrance to the cottage, not inside and upstairs like I thought). Our primary school aged children were too young to sleep in this space alone as there is no access directly from the house without walking outside and at night that is not ideal. This meant we had to change our sleeping arrangements to accommodate. Otherwise, this property was perfect.

This property is ideal for a group stay and my second visit in 3 1/2 years . The kitchen is well equipped and the beds comfortable . It is however looking very tired and in dire need of maintenance (which I understand is planned ) and a good clean . Amy was super responsive at all times .

Glen Isla was the perfect spot for our family Christmas celebrations!! We were surprised by how well-equipped it was with heaps of plates, serving utensils and the hardest working (and highly effective!) dishwasher. The beds were super comfy and everyone had their own space while still spending quality time together playing boardgames around the dining table and watching the cricket. The kids thought the garden was full of fairies and we were delighted by visiting black cocktaoos, kookaburras and king parrots throughout our stay. We took advantage of the location to go for lovely walks. A truly unforgettable Christmas at Glen Isla.

Amazing Stay !!!

We recently stayed at Glen Isla House for a family birthday and had a fabulous time. The house and grounds are completely charming and had everything we needed for a great weekend. The house is in a great location, very close to the Falls and is well appointed with comfy beds, a fully equipped kitchen, ducted heating and excellent stereo (good cd collection too!) just to name a few! The billiard table and dart board were a big hit with the family. The owner Amy is really lovely, so helpful, easy going and nice to talk to. We had a wonderful stay and for anyone looking at staying in the Blue Mountains I highly recommend this property. We are looking forward to another stay in the future.

We stayed at Glen IsIa for a few days and thought the home was a great getaway for our family of 7. Plenty of sleeping options and the kids enjoyed a few games of pool in the garage. The home is close to the Blue Mountains attractions and we enjoyed a good meal just up the road at the bowling club.
