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!
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.
Our stay had one very serious negative, but other positives. I'll try to be balanced. On the positive side, the house is lovely, itâs what was advertised. It has a nice view of the bush and was clean and well prepared. On the negative side, we didnât 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 naĂŻve, 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. Weâve given the property a reasonable score because it deserves it, but we werenât happy with the clarity or communication style of the property management company.
The house was lovely and homely. Clean and everything was up to good standard. Vi really enjoyed the birds that were visiting. Quiet area and not far from shops and tourist areas. Thank you.
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.
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 -
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
Everything was lovely, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the house was really nice, very clean, linen was really nice. Kitchen had everything and the heating was incredible, it heated up the house really quickly.
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 arenât 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 didnât 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.
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.
We had a wonderful time in this lovely little house. There is plenty of space for 10 people to enjoy yourself with a lovely back deck onto bushland. A very treasured place for memories.
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.
