The Knitting Nest at Grandma's Mountain Hideaway

Step into a delightful escape that feels just like visiting Grandma’s - warm, welcoming, and full of timeless charm. Nestled in the heart of the Blue Mountains, this older-style home is brimming with character and surrounded by nature’s beauty, offering the perfect base to unwind and reconnect.

Inside, you’ll find 3 comfortable bedrooms - one with a queen bed and two with twin singles - all fitted with blackout blinds and cosy ducted heating and cooling to keep you comfortable year-round.

Gather in the spacious living room for family movie nights, or head to the large pool table room for laughter-filled evenings of friendly competition. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need - from a trusty old kettle to a modern coffee maker - so you can enjoy hearty home-cooked meals around the 6-seater dining table, just like Grandma used to make.

Step onto the generous balcony with your morning tea and breathe in the crisp mountain air before heading out to explore Leura Mall (just 1 km away), stunning Sublime Point Lookout, or Scenic World all within easy reach.

When the day is done, relax in the tidy bathroom stocked with fresh towels, travel essentials, and a hairdryer for your convenience.

Book your stay at Grandma’s Mountain Hideaway and make timeless memories in the heart of the Blue Mountains.

Old house, great location

1950s house which has hardly been touched since then, in great location in Leura.Our initial impression of the house was poor, as a switch had tripped and the fridge and half the appliances were off. We found the switchboard and fixed this, but couldn't fix the very dusty carpet which triggered bad allergies in my daughter. The rooms (apart from the one with no window) are very bright in the morning as the curtains don't meet in the middle. Other issues were a broken outdoor chair and only 4 dining chairs for a house which sleeps 6.However, having a pool room kept all the family happy and the sunroom has been slightly modernised with a new couch, blinds and smart TV. Being so close to Leura's mall and walks was a great advantage and there are lots of restaurant and takeway options.
