Amazing place to stay . The best air Bnb I’ve stayed at. I highly recommend

Enjoyed the place very much. Only suggestion to the host is to close the top window in the ensuite during winter as the bathroom got really cold. Since we were only there for one night, we only closed the blinds to minimise the winter draft coming in.

We had a wonderful stay at the Smart Retreat! The place was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully set up for families. We especially appreciated the handy selection of kids’ toys, board games, a TV, and a projector, which made relaxing together easy and enjoyable. Comfort features like the reclining couch, electric blankets, and a well-equipped kitchen added to the homely feel. The smart home setup with voice-activated controls was a fun and modern bonus. While a few devices had low batteries, it wasn’t a major inconvenience. A couple of things to keep in mind: the entrance has stairs, so it may not suit those with limited mobility, and the driveway is sloped, which could be a concern for low-clearance vehicles — but there’s ample street parking nearby. Stuart was very friendly and prompt in responding to our questions. Overall, it was a great retreat and a very comfortable family stay.

Living in the future. This is a one of a kind accommodation with voice assistance technology everywhere. Kids loved it and maybe too much 'hey google, play fart symphony' was heard on the weekend but this added more fun to our stay 😉
We also appreciated all the appliances that were available, especially the rice cooker!

Thank you so much for the review! we are so glad the kids loved the smart tech and you all had a good time. we hope to host you all agian.

What a great experience to this smart home !!! So modern and functional everything in the house . It is a kids friendly and cosy place !!! And it is so beautiful and clean . Thanks Stuart for the quick and useful instructions for checking in .

Thank you so much for the review, we hope too see you all again in the future!

Place was as described and was very clean.

The smart stuff can get annoying at times, but its also super useful at times to shut off/on things from the couch or the bed.

Close proximity to scenic world stuff.

thank you so much for your review and we are looking forward to host you again in the future

The place is amazing and it really is a smart home (probably smarter than us!). The only thing we regret is that we only stayed for one night. We will surely come back next time. This stay was definitely one for the books!

Thank you so much for your review and would love to have you back anytime.

Amazing place

This place was amazing and comfortable, great spot and lots of home comforts. The smart voice activated devices for the tap in the kitchen was rather maddening after a while. Dedicated work space was really apparent and then not comfortable. But it was an experience and thought provoking. This has given a better appreciation of unplugged devices.

Had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home,
Highly recommend 👍️👍️👍️

Excellent presentation and have thought of everything. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanks Stuart
Hopefully I will have a chance to visit the place again. The place is a true gem, been to many places, this one is a must here in Katoomba.

Thank you so much Khoa and Hope to host you again

A very beautiful place and equipped with modern technology, but more importantly it is very clean, comfortable and kids friendly.

Thank you so much Dianawaty and We are very happy to know kids had a lot of fun with the Google gadget and kids room

The best accommodation for family vacation in Blue Mountain park.. thoughtful living supports, modern facilities, convenient location, timely help for all you can name it..

Thank you so much Carven it was a pleasure to host you and we would welcome you back anytime.

This is a really cool house and spotlessly clean. All appliances and fittings are modern and hi-tech. The recliner lounge was great for relaxing after a day out hiking. There are plenty of very comfortable beds with hotel quality linen.
The location is close to shops, restaurants and activities in the national park.
Stuart and Lina were extremely quick to respond to help out with the tech.

thank you so much Donna and we really appreciate the review and how well cleaned you left the house...
