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.

Hi Peter Thank you for your review and we are pleased that you found our place clean, tidy and in a great location. We apologise for the spa being out of order, but are waiting on parts from overseas. These matters are beyond our control and I thank you for understanding. I intend to invite you back for a complimentary stay once the spa is repaired so you can enjoy it. thanks again Peter.

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!

Perfect for a group of adults
We had a group of eight adults and were attending a wedding in the area and the house was perfect. Plenty of room, warm and cozy the kitchen is equipped with every thing you need for a two day stay. Exceptionally clean and maintained with the perfect layout and furniture for a large group. Easy cab ride to all the surrounding venues and Lithgow.

Highly recommended
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.

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. Thanks Sam 😊

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.

Great Location
Beautiful property located on a hillside with a magnificent view. 4 bedrooms all of good size plus good kitchen and 2 living areas. Great location just a few kilometres outside of Lithgow puts you in the countryside but close to the town amenities if required.

Tranquil and Relaxing.
Large open planned living with quality amenities. Serene semi-rural bush setting with sweeping views. Most enjoyable place to stay. Very accessible to the surrounding country and to Lithgow itself. Owner is accessible, sends clear messaging and is professional, receptive and ensures your privacy is met.

Spacious and comfortable but lacking the finer details
Beautiful outlook, spacious (but noisy due to the wooden floor) inside with all the facilities we required. However, for the price, it fell short in a number of respects: no outdoor furniture despite a BBQ and deck; pillows thin and towels a bit on the small and thin side and some were stained; 8 adults in the party, but only one lamp and one bedside table in 3 of the 4 bedrooms; just one towel rail in the main bathroom for 6 towels and no rail for hand towels in either bathroom or the separate toilet; bathmats were old towels folded in half. Short on complimentary coffee and tea supplies; no soap, washers, or shampoo in either bathroom. Floor had not been cleaned under the lounge chairs for some time (accumulated dust, coat hangers, old lollies and a child's toy under one set), but the rest of the house clean. Water pump under-powered - took an hour to fill the spa. All these little things detracted from what could be an excellent property.

Hi Helen We are delighted you found the property to be beautiful, spacious, clean and have all of the facilities you required. Your feedback is not the best review we have received, however we do take it seriously. It provides an opportunity to improve our offering for the benefit of future guests. We arranged for cleaners to attend within 30 minutes of your call to address your concern that there was dust under the couch. You declined presumably because it did not affect your use and enjoyment of the property. In future, we have arranged for any dust under the couch to be regularly removed. The cleaners also provided you with extra clean towels. The chocolates, tea, coffee, bottled water and snacks are provided on a complimentary basis on arrival to allow guests time to arrange for their own supplies according to their preferences. We understand these matters may have been inconvenient to you. To address your concerns, we provided you with a very substantial refund of the money you paid for your stay and also offered you additional nights stay at no cost as well as allowing a late check out.
