We had such a lovely stay in Fiona's house. The cottage has so much character and is so well looked after, so clean and tidy, and very well equiped. The gardens are magical! Just a very quick drive to the town centre and to the other surrounding towns.5/5 by Nathan, 22/01/2018
Fiona's place was lovely, it was secluded away amongst its gardens but was still very close to the main strip of katoomba. It was very cold outside but the fire place and heaters made short work of that. Thank you Fiona.5/5 by Nick, Sydney 26/06/2017
Thank you for a wonderful stay! Our family (2 small kids, 2 adults & miniature schnauzer) loved it. Secret Garden is stylish full of old world charm yet filled with every modern convenience and thoughtful inclusion. To welcome us, there were fresh flowers along with tea and cookies on the table. There were basic breakfast supplies so we didn't have to worry about rushing to the shops. Even our dog had a special treat waiting for him! We felt truly spoilt. There is also loads of helpful information about places to visit for both people and dogs. When we return to the mountains, we would love to stay here again.5/5 by Pearl, 16/02/2014
We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at Secret Garden Cottage as absolutely every thing was provided. We were delighted to find that even our breakfast was also provided, saving us from having to go to the shops to buy the basics. Being allowed to bring my small dog and have such comfortable surroundings enabled us to fully relax and recharge. We would definitely recommend Secret Garden Cottage.5/5 by Michelle, 13/01/2014
