Shiralee's Rest - Rustic Modern Mountain Home Overlooking National Park Treetops

SHIRALEE'S REST

Shiralee's Rest has all the creature comforts to call this place home!

Located in North Katoomba in a quiet leafy residential area, Shiralee's Rest is perched high on a very large gently sloping garden block that overlooks the National Park treetops and is a regular flightpath stop for all the beautiful and talkative native birds.

This home is a tasteful blend of unique, modern, and rustic with a distinct mountains feel and really is a lovely and well-appointed holiday home. The interior is graced with stylish finishings and glorious hardwood timber floors throughout the main areas. The open plan fully equipped modern kitchen unfolds onto the dining area that has a large table to feast on and extends onto the large back deck.

Central heating keeps this home effortlessly toasty and for those wonderful wintery times, cosy up to the combustion log fireplace. A firewood starter pack is provided for your first night.

A truly family-friendly home that is fenced, where the kids can play in the garden safely and bounce on the trampoline or sway on the garden swing. The sunroom has a large array of games and toys to keep kids entertained, and the bunk room is a novelty for the kids.

The home offers a fresh modern bathroom that is clean and spacious with heat lamps and a luxurious single-person bath. The shower is over the bath and there are two toilets.

Feed the colourful rosellas and king parrots plus a variety of other birdlife from the spacious back deck overlooking the tree line of the National Park.

Shiralee's Rest has everything you need!

Beautiful tranquil and serenity
This property exceeded our expectations with a large landscape, large back porch with friendly birds coming to say good morning. The house was able to accommodate all of us comfortably. Bunks were a little uncomfortable on the mattresses, but I guess that's mainly for little kids that don't weigh much. Very clean and tidy and very very warm. Thank you for accommodating us.

Great Property, Confusing Price
Our stay had one very serious negative, but other positives. I'll try to be balanced. On the positive side, the house is lovely, it’s what was advertised. It has a nice view of the bush and was clean and well prepared. On the negative side, we didn’t confirm final numbers until well after booking. When we did, going from 2 adults / 2 children to 4 adults / 5 children, the price doubled. This amount was never disclosed and was debited from our account as soon as we adjusted the numbers. That experience set us in a negative mood. Perhaps we were naïve, but we were used to properties adding nominal fees if you add extra people to a full property that you have booked. We didn't expect the price to double. We’ve given the property a reasonable score because it deserves it, but we weren’t happy with the clarity or communication style of the property management company.

Well-maintained, secluded and comfortable place to chill out. The hammock on the veranda makes a great spot to (literally) hang whilst watching the rain and listening to the birds. Perfect for post-lockdown sanity.

The Bird house - up in the canopy
Comfortable, a really good holiday even though we had a rainy wet Katoomba week. Heating worked well. Birds spotted were fantastic - especially square-tail kite being attacked by 20 or more other birds. Great photo opportunity. House lay out worked well for teenage family... only comment was internet weak signal -

Just Wonderful
The house is wonderful, very clean with quality linen. The kitchen is well stocked with tea, coffee and basics like sugar and oil for cooking. The smart tv was a hit with us all (the toddler was very happy to see ABC Kids). There are a great range of toys which my almost 3yo loved. The best thing is the view and the bird life. We had so much joy in watching birds come to feed at breakfast time and even the toddler loved spotting kookaburras! The central heating is fantastic! We were here for the coldest day of winter and got snow! The whole family really enjoyed our weekend away to the mountains and would definitely come back to Sherilee's Rest

Amazing peaceful place with bird life everwhere
What a peace inspiring place nestled so close to town but feeling like you are in the country, all by yourself, with forest and abundant birdlife out the back! The place is well decked out and the checkin process seamless.

The property has a few extras, but they aren’t well promoted.
The house has underfloor heating and a well stocked kitchen with basic cooking essentials and nice crockery and glassware. It also has a wood burner which had a fire set and ready to go and some spare kindling. Bring your own matches. Unfortunately the property manager didn’t seem to be aware of the extra nice touches, when we inquired before our visit. The outlook and local bird life was lovely. There were 4 of us staying but only 3 towels were provided! Apart from that it was a pleasant stay.

A wonderful family retreat in the Blue Mountains
We went to Shiralee's with two small children and a baby for a weekend away. The property was lovely, very nicely done up with a big garden out the back. There was plenty for the kids to do inside with toys and outside with a trampoline, swing and hammock. We were there over a very cold weekend but there was excwllent heating across the house plus a toasty log fire. A quick drive to Katoomba Centre.

Peaceful, fun for the whole family.
We spend a (much too) short weekend at Shiralee's Rest. It was comfortable, clean and very well equipped. The trampoline, toys, bbq, hammock were great source of entertainment. It was spacious for 4, we would be happy to return here with a larger crowd.

We have nothing bad to say = everything was great about this house! As advertised. In the forest, birds come on the balcony in the morning and around 4-6 pm which is great. Very quiet area and close to town. We would definitely come back, thank you for a wonderful stay!
