Piccolo - Eclectic Mts Cottage, Pet Friendly

Step into history at Piccolo, a charming miner’s cottage over 110 years old, nestled in quiet bushland on the northern side of Leura. Thoughtfully extended to blend traditional charm with modern conveniences, Piccolo now features four rooms and a bathroom, ensuring a comfortable and relaxing stay. Original timber walls, floors, and solid doors preserve the cottage’s unique character, while contemporary touches make it a true home away from home.

Top Highlights:
• Historic Charm Meets Modern Comfort – Original timber interiors combined with modern amenities for a cozy yet practical retreat.
• Tranquil Bushland Setting – Relax on the enclosed veranda and enjoy the sights and sounds of native wildlife.
• Fully Equipped Kitchen & Veranda BBQ – Cook local produce, enjoy meals indoors or alfresco with stainless steel appliances and farmhouse sink.
• Cosy Lounge & Open Fire – Curl up with a movie or a book by the roaring fire (firewood provided).
• Pet Friendly – Bring your dog or cat to share in the mountain retreat experience; the veranda is a favourite spot for our furry friends.

Perfect for Couples
Piccolo is designed as a romantic and restful retreat for couples seeking a quiet getaway in the Blue Mountains.

Explore the Blue Mountains
A 20-minute walk from Leura Mall and a short drive to the Blue Mountains’ splendours, including National Parks, walking tracks, gardens, boutique shops, cafes, artisan markets, gourmet dining, and a lively calendar of events. The Blue Mountains City Council website is an excellent resource for the latest attractions and happenings.

Practical Info
• Best accessed by car, though trains and taxis can reach the cottage.
• Note: Several steps/stairs lead up to the house.
• Owner nearby in Katoomba for any assistance during your stay.

Designed with comfort and relaxation in mind, Piccolo invites you to unwind, reconnect with nature, and immerse yourself in the beauty of the Blue Mountains. We look forward to welcoming you soon.
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.

Michael was a great host to deal with. The cottage is warm and thoughtfully furnished and well located. The garden is secure for dogs. Overall it is very good value. There were a couple of minor drawbacks. Access to the cottage is up a steep flight of outdoor steps which were hard to navigate in the dark and rain. The lighting in the kitchen is very poor - the overhead light is not working and the lamp by the stove is very dim. We'd stay again if the kitchen lighting is fixed.

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.

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.

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.
