Then you remember you can ask google to turn on the heater, the air, start the shower, turn on the heat lamp, the list goes on and on, all from the comfort of the luxurious king-sized bed. Don't forget the warm toilet seats. The Smart Retreat hosts 3 smart bedrooms 2 smart bathrooms a smart kitchen a smart living room and a smart laundry. The bedrooms have been named for the convenience of the guests and google. The King room is as it sounds. it has a king size bed that can also be broken into 2 king singles. electric heated blankets, voice-controlled lights and heaters, a Samsung frame tv, phone chargers built into the bedsides and more. The Queen Room is much the same as The King Room, it is home to all the same features and more for you to discover, however it also hosts the TV BED with built in speakers and The Smart Ensuite. The smart ensuite has a multiple function shower panel, voice-controlled lights and fans and you tube music. With all this at your disposal you'll be singing up a storm or fighting to use it next. The Kids Room isn't just for the kids, The spacious king single beds feel like a cloud and the bunk beds are also king single. The voice-controlled tech is no different from the rest of the house. Just be careful Mums and Dads I'm sure the kids are going to pull some pranks. All linen is supplied and is of top quality it is also hypoallergenic. All bedrooms have a desk and chair for those work/office needs. The living room has a projector screen and has full access to Netflix and YouTube. the lounge is all push button control and has built in Bluetooth and speakers. The kitchen has a voice activated tap and an automatic ice maker and a few other things. We don't want to ruin the surprise. The laundry has a washer dryer combo with full operating instructions and there is also ironing facilities. The smart Bathroom is host to the spa bath and the smart shower. This is a voice-controlled shower, this bathroom is almost fully voice controlled. The gardens are well maintained and look there best at night when you ask google to turn the garden lights on. Personally, I love the lights. I love the fact that I can curl up in bed, get nice and warm, forget to turn off the light and then realize I only have to ask google. This is just a fraction of what the house can do. Inspired by the idea of a fully autonomous home, we have done all we can do, at this point to bring you The Smart Retreat. With the in-home cinema experience, the personalized google instructions, the smart showers, the spa bath, the bar, the BBQ, the gardens and all the tech, there just has to be something for everyone. All the lights, every single one is voice activated or can be switched on or off manually. What can be made motion activated has been. For example, there is no need to touch any of the taps they are all preset to 38 degrees, simply wave your hand under them. You can ask google to turn the shower on and off. There is a projector screen in the living room and smart lounge to go with it. There is also a small library of books to help keep you entertained. The house itself is in the best condition its ever seen with full renovations right throughout. the gardens are outstanding and even boast a huge Christmas tree. This can also be turned on and off with google. The kitchen has amazing cooking facilities, and you can even charge your phone on the BBQ. Feel free to use anything from the herb and vegetable gardens grown in the rock wall and the back yard. The house is only a 2 min drive to the town center for outstanding dining experiences and a 5 min drive to amazing views of the Blue Mountain's. This place is one to see just for the house alone. We can't stress enough how much tech has been put into the house, there is over 150 devices connected to a separate network in the house to make it as voice activated as possible. There is also a separate Wi-Fi network for guests, so they have good internet speeds. If the house becomes a hit, we will add much more tech in the future. Get your chance while it lasts. We look forward to seeing you soon. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Bidet - Hair dryer - Jetted bathtub - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - One pet total (up to 22 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Cleaning products are eco-friendly - Energy-saving switches in guestrooms - Garden - Living plant wall - Water-efficient showers ## Similar properties ![3 bedrooms, free WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/105000000/104490000/104488100/104488053/415c735d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Big quiet enclave amazing views Wentworth Falls - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 1 review CA $415 CA $731 total includes taxes & fees Oct 26 - Oct 27 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-26&endDate=2025-10-27&selected=104488053&PinnedHotelID=104488053&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Hair dryer, towels, soap, shampoo](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/39000000/38860000/38858900/38858858/w1096h752x0y40-dc25c556.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Narrow Neck Views - Spacious Mountains Home with Stunning Views!
