Summary: Lovely old, historic property with beautiful garden. Be aware of the trains being close, we loved it! Central to so much in the mountains and beyond and 5minute walk to all the Hydro Majestic has to offer. Wendy was helpful and easy to communicate with along with thinking of little touches like leaving heaters on for our arrival. Especially loved the fire, bath and no tv!

Summary: The Gatehouse was one of the highlights of our trip to the Blue Mountains. It was an absolute privilege to be able to step back in time, whilst enjoying the comforts of modern day living. The garden is beautiful and the Gatehouse is simply stunning inside and out. It was cosy, inviting and the decor just added to the authenticity. The luxurious bath was an unexpected treat after a day of exploring. We couldn't have asked for a more convenient location - close to a bustling town center with interesting little shops and a variety of dining options, as well as scenic activities. Wendy is the perfect host. She prepared the Gatehouse beautifully for our stay. She was considerate enough to put heaters on and had firewood ready for us. Everything you could possibly need / want for a comfortable stay has been provided. The Gatehouse has to be experienced to be believed and we hope to return in future.

Summary: Quaint and effort made to blend the authentic with the modern. Trains as neighbours were fun although some may describe it otherwise. The place was quite dusty. Plenty of heaters. Some local knowledge, info, brochures etc could be helpful. Info re the house would be both interesting and helpful. Couldn’t get front door opened. Appreciated amount of wood left as it was rainy and foggy whole time we were there. Arrival instructions that include dirt road and no through road sign would be helpful. So much potential. We did though enjoy our short stay.

Summary: It was a destination wish list, as my wife's great grandmother was the Gatekeeper for 20+ years from 1882. There were eleven children in the family, so we're not sure where they slept. The cottage building appears to be original, but the interior has been updated, but sympatheticly, with some modern additions like electricity and plumbing. Make sure you read the local historical books suppled. The nightime goods trains would be an acquired experience. Overall we enjoyed the two days.

Summary: This rare piece of history made for an amazing place to spend some time. It is a great reflection of the era that it was built, and like staying in a living museum. No TV or Wi-Fi meant more reading, which was lovely. There was obvious traffic and train noise, but that's why it was built there in the first place, all those years ago. Very special indeed.
