Piccolo - Eclectic Mts Cottage

Piccolo, a charming miner`s cottage with a unique style, is nestled in a serene bushland setting. Situated on the northern side of the highway in Leura, Piccolo offers a cozy, quaint, and distinctive retreat in the mountains. This historic house, dating back over 110 years and constructed between 1910 and 1920, started its journey as a two-room miner’s cottage. It has preserved its original allure, showcasing timber walls, floors, and solid doors from its early days.

Thoughtfully extended to blend traditional charm with modern conveniences, Piccolo now features a total of four rooms and a bathroom, ensuring a comfortable stay.

A mere 20-minute walk from Leura Mall and a short drive to the splendours of the Blue Mountains, Piccolo positions guests perfectly to explore this Heritage Listed wonderland. The area is renowned for its stunning National Parks, walking tracks, gourmet food, artisan markets, an array of dining options, exquisite gardens, boutique shopping, and a vibrant calendar of events. The Blue Mountains City Council website is an excellent resource for the latest happenings and attractions.

At Piccolo, we aspire to make your visit to the Blue Mountains unforgettable. Whether you’re cooking up local delights in the fully equipped kitchen, featuring a farmhouse sink and stainless steel oven, grilling on the BBQ on the veranda, enjoying a movie by the crackling open fire (with firewood provided), reading in the library/dining room, or simply relaxing on the veranda listening to the wildlife, we’ve tailored every aspect of your stay for relaxation and enjoyment.

Piccolo is ideally suited for couples. We welcome you to bring your furry friends along for the adventure. The veranda will be a hit with your furry family, who will love the mountain vistas and sounds.

Designed with your comfort and relaxation in mind, Piccolo aims to be your home away from home, offering everything you need to unwind and immerse in the beauty of the Blue Mountains. We look forward to welcoming you in the not-too-distant future.
We have spend many years restoring this 100 year old miner cottage, we have refitted it with all to modern convenances you expect whilst retaining as much of the original character as possible.

Piccolo is older than your gran parents and needs to be respected and looked after like you would a gran parent so that others can enjoy it as much as you.

Peaceful cottage bushland setting

Peaceful stay in old cottage. Some maintenance issues but absolutely lovely outlook & proximity to nature, including a bandicoot under the house, possums on the roof & king parrots in the trees.

Cozy Cottage

Piccolo presents as it is explained. It is very comfortable for two people, the bed was very good and the kitchen is well stocked with all you need to self-cater. Michael also provided lots of helpful hints about what to do and where to eat. We would certainly return.

Relaxing quaint mountain cottage

My husband and I enjoyed a relaxing weekend at Piccolo in the Blue Mountains. Quaint historic cottage which was very comfortable. Our dog Max enjoyed the bush garden and all the smells it had. It was a dog proof garden although probably not for very small dogs - Max is a medium size dog - Brittany Spaniel.

Property was exactly as described. Cosy and pet friendly. I wouldn't advise arriving in the dark as the steps up to the house are a bit dodgy in the dark. Otherwise it's a lovely cosy cottage in a great peaceful location.

Cute cottage and well equipped

I spent a few days at the cottage with 2 kids and enjoyed our stay. It is well equipped and feels homely. As a light sleeper, I unfortunately heard trucks most nights on the highway- the kids didn’t hear a thing.

Lovely unique property

This is a cute property with lovely decoration throughout. The property was very clean and the bed was super comfortable! Michael, the property manager, was very friendly and offered information about places to go to help plan our trip. The steps up to the property from the road may not be good for older people or dogs who have issues with mobility.

Comfy, cute cottage

Piccolo is a very comfortable cottage. Great kitchen with everything you need to cook a meal. Enjoyed the fire. Steps to the cottage are a little awkward when you get to the top but good incentive to stay indoors. Only comment would be no electric blanket - would have been nice on a cold weekend.

Charming Cottage - Garden Neglected

Cottage was adequate for our needs, however, out of the 4 dinner plates, 2 were cracked and unusable. The Hair Dryer had fallen behind the Clothes dryer but was retrievable and able to be used OK. A curtain would be ideal in the Bathroom. Otherwise the Cottage was warm and cosy with plenty of books, 2 jigsaw puzzles, DVD's and CD's (but nothing to use them on) and pots and pans, etc, for cooking. The Garden needed a general clean up with some plants in need of a trim and the grass mowed. A hand-rail on the concrete steps. would be ideal as they were difficult to manoeuvre especially at night when the outdoor light only stayed on for 30 seconds. As it was raining most of the time during our stay our dog was kept indoors, but even if it had been dry the condition of the yard would have restricted his movements. Basically, the garden was not as well kept as what it looked like in the advertising photos. Perhaps the winter month's weather had prevented the owner from doing garden maintenance and it will, no doubt, be attended to for the summer. The Cottage is lovely and in a nice quiet area with easy driving access to Leura and Kootoomba.

Tranquil mountains home off the beaten track

This home is lovely. Has everything you need for a comfortable stay (although I do like a bathtub!). The house is roomy and spacious despite only having 4 rooms. The decor is charming. The heating is very effective. The grounds are large enough for a dog to run around and explore. It's nice to walk around the peaceful streets with just the sound of birds and it's only a short drive to the various towns of the Blue Mountains.
