GREEN & LEAFY OASIS NESTLED IN THE PICTURESQUE HILLS OF KURRAJONG HEIGHTS
ABOUT YOUR HOSTS:
Prue & Mathieu.
MATHIEU (A FRENCH NATIVE) & PRUE (AUSTRALIAN) ARE A WELL-TRAVELLED, WELCOMING MARRIED COUPLE. WITH DECADES OF COMBINED EXPERIENCE IN THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY ACROSS VARIOUS PARTS OF THE GLOBE — PRUE AS A CHEF & MATHIEU AS A SOMMELIER — THEY NOW LIVE A QUIETER LIFESTYLE & HAVE BOTH TAKEN ON DIFFERENT CAREER PATHS TO SUIT THEIR MOUNTAIN LIVES.
MATHIEU HAS DISCOVERED A PASSION FOR WOODWORK, LANDSCAPING & LUMBER-JACKING, WHILE PRUE IS CURRENTLY STUDYING THERAPY, TO ACQUIRE SKILLS WITHIN THAT FIELD.
THIS DYNAMIC DUO SHARE A LOVE FOR LOCALLY GROWN PRODUCE, THE ARTS AND MUSIC, AS WELL AS A PASSION FOR OUTDOOR ADVENTURES, DINING & ENTERTAINING… & OF COURSE THE ODD GLASS OF GOOD WINE.
WHEN THEY DISCOVERED THIS HILLTOP HIDEAWAY NESTLED IN THE BLUE MOUNTAINS OF AUSTRALIA, THEY INSTANTLY SAW ITS POTENTIAL. THE SPLIT, DUAL-LIVING HOMESTAY — BOASTING SENSATIONAL REGIONAL VIEWS — COULD BECOME BOTH A TRANQUIL RETREAT FOR GUESTS & A PEACEFUL HOME FOR THEMSELVES. INSPIRED, THEY SET OUT TO CREATE A SELF-CONTAINED GUEST SPACE DESIGNED FOR THOSE SEEKING A TOUCH OF REJUVENATION OR ADVENTURE DURING THEIR MOUNTAIN STAY.
WITH LOVE & DEDICATION OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN TRANSFORMED INTO A SERENE AND MAGICAL HAVEN. THANKS TO THEIR EXTENSIVE SKILLS & BACKGROUND — HOSPITALITY TRULY IS THE NAME OF THE GAME HERE.
COME VISIT SOON.

ABOUT KURRAJONG HEIGHTS.
THE COTTAGE IS LOCATED IN THE PICTURESQUE MOUNTAIN VILLAGE OF KURRAJONG HEIGHTS, A SMALL TOWN IN THE HAWKESBURY REGION OF THE BLUE MOUNTAINS IN NEW SOUTH WALES. JUST A STONE'S THROW FROM SYDNEY AND A MERE 10 MINUTES FROM BILPIN, IT OFFERS AN IDEAL ESCAPE.
KURRAJONG IS A LUSH HAVEN TUCKED AWAY AMONGST ROLLING GREEN HILLS, BREATHTAKING PANORAMIC VIEWS & THE ENCHANTING SOUNDS OF BELLBIRDS.
THE NAME "KURRAJONG" MEANS "SHADE TREE" IN ABORIGINAL LANGUAGE. THE KURRAJONG TREE WAS TRADITIONALLY USED BY THE KOORI PEOPLE AS A FOOD SOURCE, WHILE ITS TOUGH FIBERS WERE CRAFTED INTO ROPES, TWINE, FISHING LINES & NETS. IN EARLY COLONIAL DAYS, THE SEEDS WERE ALSO ROASTED AS A COFFEE SUBSTITUTE.
HISTORY ENTHUSIASTS WILL APPRECIATE THE OLD BUILDINGS AND CHURCHES, WHILE COLLECTORS CAN LOSE THEMSELVES IN ANTIQUE SHOPS & NATURE LOVERS CAN EMBARK ON BUSH WALKS AND PICNICS — THERE'S SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE TO ENJOY.
THE COTTAGE IS ALSO CLOSE TO BILPIN'S RENOWNED CIDER BREWERIES & SEVERAL LOCAL FARM-TO-FORK ORGANIC RESTAURANTS, MAKING THIS AN IDEAL DESTINATION FOR A RELAXING GETAWAY.
DOG FRIENDLY.
SMALL DOGS ARE WELCOME AT MONTPIERRE COTTAGE.
