5 stars for cleanliness and personal service. See and George are very caring couple you cater for all your needs. We stayed there for the weekend and booked to do it all over again in a few weeks time. Relaxing place to be at with beautiful gardens that are treated with love and care and it shows. Highly recommended for a relaxing weekend escape.

Mid week getaway
This place is exceptional. The owners go above and beyond to ensure their guests enjoy the amazing escapes that awaits them. Form the freshly baked bread to accompany the breakfast hamper daily to the exsquisite garden surrounds. Secrets Hideaway is definitely the place to head for that much needed R and R. We stayed mid week and could not have had another trip away like it. Thanks See and George. We will be back soon. Matt and Jerry

Can't recommend Secrets Hideaway enough - the owner was so lovely, welcoming and attentive, even giving us a box of treats and hand-written card on arrival as we stayed near Christmas. The cabin was beautiful, very comfortable and well-stocked. The garden was also great to wonder around and sit in. Definitely 10 out of 10.

This place was well located for accessing the villages of the blue mountains. It was also comfortable and pleasant for those who want to stay in when they go away. Much nicer to stay in somewhere with the charm of yesteryear, rather than a sterile box. The grounds were lovely, and See, the owner, lovelier still. Nothing was too much trouble to make sure our stay was perfect. Thank you!

My husband and I had a weekend away at Secrets Hideaway and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The hospitality of See and George was superb and we felt so welcomed and that our stay was personal. The breakfast hamper was so yummy and the freshly baked bread was so soft and fresh. We would stay again with no hesitations!

Quiet and comfortable
Clean and very comfortable. The studio was quite small but well equipped and with lots of thoughtful inclusions like DVDs, load of food for breakfast which was replenished daily. Even birdseed for the feeder outside our door. We loved the wood fire on a cold wet weekend. Bed was comfortable and the kichenette was fine for a simple meal. Our hostess was friendly helpful and unobtrusive. A very quiet location just a few minutes drive from shops and restaurants.

Secrets Hideaway is the perfect getaway for couples who are looking for revitalising and some alone time. Serenely situated in the Blue Mountains but only minutes away from restaurants, cafes and hiking tracks. The cottage has all the old world charm with a log fire and spa bath. A full Breakfast is provided with freshly baked bread. Parking immediately outside your cottage door. Our hostess Seenuan ensured that our stay was perfect.

Heaven in the mountains
This was an amazing place - I took a gamble booking from the UK but the feed backs were so good that I went for it. It was everything we needed. Great location, quiet but within a very short distance to all the areas of the Blue mountains that we wanted to see. The food provided was of a very high quality and the bread to die for! The owners were helpful in every capacity. If we ever get back to Australia I would come here again.Hopefully we can play the golf course at the end of the road!

Cute comfy cottage, generous owners, would go back
The place is only 10 minute drive out of Katoomba. The grounds were big and they had a very friendly cat and a bunch of chickens that were fun to watch. The grounds were large and beautiful. It was quite a small cottage but that was perfect for what we needed as it was a weekend getaway we spent most of our time out during the day so was perfect to relax in at night. The spa was great and the place was clean and tidy and comfy. The owners were beyond lovely. See greeted us and they gave us plenty of information before we got there about walks to take and places to eat at so was nice they made us well informed. It was my boyfriends birthday so they surprised us with a card for him and a little bottle of champagne. They gave you fruit, yogurt, freshly made bread, milk, eggs, tomato mushrooms and cereal so it was really well stocked for breakfast and lunch and they restocked for the next day. They even asked what type of bread and milk we liked and we didn't want bacon so they gave us extra fruit. There was plenty of plates and pans and cooking utensils. We chose the cottage with the bigger spa but as no one was in the other cottage See gave us the option to swap if we wanted a bigger T.V but as we were happy with our room as it had the bigger spa she still left the other cottage unlocked so we could go in there to watch T.V if we wanted to. Would definitely recommend if you want a small, quiet, cozy place. I would definitely go back

We had a great time staying here. The staff couldn't of been more helpful and accommodating. We did however find 3 spiders at various times of our stay, in our room. But with the bush surroundings its almost to be expected! It really was lovely and nothing was missed. Would highly recommend!

One of the highlights of our trip.
Amazing accommodation, full of charm and matched by the excellent hospitality. Great location (must see: Evan’s Lookout, just down the street), the room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Extras like a fully loaded fireplace ready to go each night, really picturesque gardens around the property and a breakfast spread provided that would put most cafes to shame made this place a highlight of our trip. Would recommend this to any couple travelling through the Blue Mountains.

Absolutely wonderful stay
This is our second stay at Secrets (4 nights this time) and it was as enjoyable this time as last. The suites are small but that adds to the intimacy, the beds were so comfortable, the fire (prepared by See every day) was welcoming on a winters night, the bathroom and spa bath was a luxury. Our hosts, See and George could not do enough for us, eggs, bacon, fresh fruit, mushrooms added each day and home made bread prepared for our arrival, hot and aromatic as it was baked to coincide with our expected time. If you want a couple of days away we highly recommend Secrets.

Brilliant!
The setting was amazing, with beautiful gardens and friendly chickens you can feed. The rooms were so comfy, with a great bed and toasty warm fire. The breakfast was bountiful, communication was excellent, and so many little touches were taken care of. A good example being the little container of seed to feed the aforementioned chooks! The spa bath was actually quite good, and the entire suite was extremely clean; in every nook and cranny. A short drive from Blackheath, we really had no complaints at all. Enjoy!

A wonderful hideaway
A lovely set of suites in a secluded garden on a quiet road in the beautiful Blue Mountains - within short drive of some of the finest parts of the area. The rooms are very comfortable and well equipped. The owner was so wonderfully thoughtful and helpful - and left a breakfast hamper of fresh home made bread, milk, fruit, eggs from the house chickens, sausages and bacon - along with a table set with sparkling wine, and with a real wood stove ready-to-light. We had a great, relaxing stay - and recommend it very, very highly!

Rural retreat
This accommodation is a B&B with a few rooms in the gardens of a family home. The welcome from the owner, who picked us up from the station, could not be faulted. The location was a little way outside Blackheath which would require a car, but otherwise was like being situated in the middle of the countryside with a cat, wild birds and chickens on site. The Chauffeurs accommodation was a series of rooms with a largish bedroom with log burner, medium kitchenette with good facilities, a small sitting area and nice bathroom, outside seating also around the garden. Comfortable bed and quiet nights. The food provided for breakfast was extensive and could feed you for the day (freshly baked bread, sausages, bacon, eggs, cereals, milk plus more). Rooms made up daily. For those who don't like a big fancy hotel a perfect choice. We loved it.

Perfect peaceful getaway!
My husband and I had an amazing time at Secrets. We went with a close friend who stayed in a neighboring lodge we were able to socialise and cook between the rooms making our trip feel a home from home. See greeted us and showed us our rooms which were immaculately kept and well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. The breakfast hampers were super generous so much so that it lasted us two breakfasts and See's homemade bread was so delicious and was warm when we arrived :) See catered to our every need during our stay, we used the BBQ they had on site and See offered to set up a dining space outside for us - always offering help and advice when needed but still giving us full privacy. The grounds of the property are beautifully kept and we saw plenty of local wildlife - including cockatoos, great parrots, rosellas and the family cat, Chelsea who was very friendly It was the perfect couple of nights to relax and see all the local sights (everything is within a 10 minute drive away) and we are looking forward to going back to Secrets in years to come when we visit Sydney.

Great family relaxing time
This place might be just like others offering self-contained suites, but the thoughtfulness and care of the owners made this exceptional. Plus their home-made freshly baked bread was so delicious that we finished the whole loaf. Also our son loved playing with their friendly cat and feeding the hens & fishes around the property.
