Amazing stay

Amazing! We stayed at this property for 2 nights. The check in and out process was an easy. The house was perfect for our two families! The kids loved the fire place and looking for wombats. We were lucky enough to be able to check in earlier and leave late. The little touches didn’t go unnoticed from the choccy bickies, bottled waters and leaving the heating on so we were so warm when we came in! Thank you Sam, we will be back

Lovely place until you went to bed!

Nice place, clean tidy and great location. We were told after booking that the spa was not to be used as it needed repairs, the spa was one of the reasons this home was selected by us. The beds were clean and fresh however extremely uncomfortable resulting in my wife and son sleeping on the couch. We were able to request to check in early and were offered a late checkout which was nice. Close to walks and lookouts and shops etc not far away.

Natural Beauty Surrounds You

26 March – 1 April – Serenity Now! This slice of paradise is amazing! It is a beautiful home with gorgeous views from every room. The outside deck is marvelous and if you’re an early bird, you will have spectacular sunrises. If you’re a night owl, the stars and planets are amazing! We spent Easter here and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed for our feast. Before renting, we noticed that the home did not have a bbq grill. The owners were so kind and purchased one before our arrival. How nice is that! Lithgow is a small town but has everything you need for your time in the Blue Mountains. Hassan’s Walls Lookout is just a few minutes from their CBD and is definitely worth a visit! Sam is a great, attentive host and will make sure you have everything you need and will share all the local sites to visit. If you’re looking for a place to recharge and gaze upon natural beauty, this is the place for you!

Whilst we were attracted by the property through the online pictures and description, it was certainly better than expected in person. The property was clean, tidy, well positioned with great views, warm in winter and plenty of inclusions. Sam the host was an absolute pleasure do communicate with clear instructions, very accomodating and prompt help. We were a group of 8 that incl adults all 30+ and a couple of minors between 5-9. Would stay here again.

Disappointed.

We booked this place to attend my daughter’s Wedding at Seclusions. This place appealed to us because of the Fireplace & Spa Bath. Unfortunately, we were advised by the owner a couple of days before the check in. That the Spa Bath wasn’t working. ( Saw a past review dated close to a year ago about this. Still not fixed ) Also, told that. If, we wanted to use the Fireplace. That we would have to bring our own Firewood, thongs, Gloves etc. plus clean it. Even after paying a cleaning fee. We were also, told that the property wasn’t connected to Town Water. Therefore, we must bring our own Bottle water or boil the water before consuming. As drinking the water could make us sick. The Mattress in the main Bedroom was extremely Hard & we had to move rooms. Also, the main bedroom had no wardrobe space to hang clothes. As these wardrobes were locked for the owners use. Found the Bedding & Towels old. Was glad we brought our own towels & Pillows. We already had a lot of organising to do for this stay. But, then told to buy Firewood, Bottle water & advising our guest that we were unable to use the main features of this property. Was very disappointing. I honestly fell that this information should be put in the description of the add. So that folkes can be informed when making a decision to stay there. The view was nice & the Air Conditioner worked well. I did contact Sam the owner with my grievances but he didn’t respond.

Winter Getaway

The house had wonderful sweeping views and waking to a gorgeous sunrise was the most amazing way to begin our weekend. We had been hoping for snow angels but instead got a beautiful blue sky and crisp winter air, which allowed us to explore the local area and get some great photos. The house was extremely well appointed and had everything you could possibly need for our stay. Communication with the Property Manager, Sam, was great, messages and directions were very clear and professional I would highly recommend a visit to Yurnga.

Peaceful getaway

Property has a lovely location just out of the way enough to feel out of the hustle & bustle but still close to the great attractions of the area to make day trips possible. Beautifully presented house with a great view to look at all throughout the day if you’re looking at staying indoors also. Great amenities to make you feel at home. A few little basic items to add some finishing touches to a beautiful property, however were addressed with the owner who responded immediately & was extremely accommodating & super fast response to get these requests attended to immediately. We had to reschedule the trip a couple of times also & Sam was very understanding & helpful with that. Would definitely recommend this property & I would happily stay there again. Loved it.

Great Family Getaway

The house was clean and generally met our expectations. Just a few details I'd suggest: Provide a hook or hand towel holder in WC. In winter perhaps turn on central heating earlier in the day (i.e. before check-in) to warm up the house. Was very cold during our stay. Maybe provide a few extra blankets? There was plenty of extra pillows but only one extra blanket. This is just 'nit-picking' to make improvements. But otherwise our stay was pleasant. The house was generally well appointed and had great views.
