Fortunately we booked for the Queen's Birthday weekend in February because the Blue Mountains area was really busy. We chose the Artist Cottage as it is a stand alone house designed for a couple's quite getaway. About 20 minutes from the highway, through beautiful and scenic countryside, the Artist Cottage is on its own on the right of the Estate road. One is provided with a key code so there is no need to go to the main hotel for check in. The Cottage is charming and rustic but clean and with everything in perfect working order . With the main floor having the living area (with a fantastic fireplace and unlimited wood), kitchen, dining and bathroom, the mezzanine has a lounge and the bedroom reached by a lovely spiral staircase. Downstairs on the porch is a hot tub and an electric BBQ, which works far better than one would expect. Apart from your food and drink, and personal toiletries everything is provided to make the stay comfortable and easy. What was provided? Well the complimentary bottle of red wine was a perfect accompaniment to the roaring rife and went down a treat. Slippers, fluffy white towels for inside, and the tub, dressing gowns and the normal shampoo and creams etc. The Queen bed was comfortable and the sheets crispy and clean, very nice indeed. In the kitchen all the amenities one could want with olive oil, salt and pepper, milk in the fridge but my one concern was that there were no small cutting knives and the large knives could do with a sharpen. Otherwise there was double the cutlery and crockery need for a couple. There is no dishwasher and while not an issue to us-, maybe a small one could be added at some stage. The tub was great- outside with a lovely view of the creek, just asking for a beer or glass of wine to relax and enjoy- even in the dead of winter. The surrounding countryside has heaps to do in Katoomba and Lithgow, as well as the Blue Mountain attractions obviously which we enjoyed but mainly but we just chilled and cooked great food, took short walks and relaxed by the fire or in the tub. Perfect place to completely relax.
