Lovely, cosy stay for a weekend getaway and only a short drive into the centre of Katoomba. The accommodation had good facilities and heating and was very peaceful overlooking the blue mountains. One of the highlights was the beautiful spa bath!
8 / 10Excellent·Dec 2024
This was a great place to stay for a couple nights while hiking the Blue Mountains. The spaces are compact but intimate and well-arranged. All windows overlook gorgeous views. We've a few little bits of criticism: the overall feeling esp. in bathroom and lower level bedroom that it wasn't super clean, many stains on the cover of the seating area under the downstairs windows, and the toilet area didn't feel so clean. Secondly, the WiFi was rather spotty, so we had to rely on our cellular service much of the time. Thirdly, the BBQ on the porch, which we were looking forward to, is in fact what we would call a hot plate, a surface with gas heat underneath -- we used it since we brought meat to cook, but I wouldn't call it a BBQ. Still we had a great time on this trip and the convenience of the location, loveliness of views and porch were great. Also, Angela was very communicative, which we appreciated. Thank you.
6 / 10Average·Mar 2026
Stayed three nights in March 2026 so no coziness required - no AC or fire used. The property is a bit shabby - needs an update. There is an inbuilt bed which were around in the 70s (I had one in Nelson Bay) - pillows are sweat-stained and bedding is dated. Only good for a couple and a couple of kids as all in the same room and the window mattresses are not comfortable. It needs a good clean - kitchen hotplate needs replacing as rusty. Most foodstuffs out of date eg 2018. No coffee maker - basic inclusion in 2026! Floors are vinyl not wood. Fridge was turned up to the highest so everything froze, microwave had food bits in it. Dust and moths around the upstairs window. Screen door fell off, windows very difficult to open. Front garden needs attention - not at all welcoming. Back garden area could be improved - both green areas neglected. Very expensive for what it is and the need to pay for linen if can't bring own is a bit too much when paying such a high daily rate. Overall it appears to be a dated, basic space that purports to be a retreat but that means the view is nice and not much else. I did contact the person in the printed info at the accom but never answered. If it's architect-designed, it would have been in the 70s but I doubt that - probably just a builder. Overpriced and shabby. Better places to stay in the Mountains. Go elsewhere.
