Relaxed stay in the beautiful blue mountains

Evelyn and Iain were great hosts. The property is very historic, interesting and quiet. The homemade muesli was a highlight. As was yoga with Evelyn. Would love to come again for longer.

Beyond our expectations

Our stay was beyond our expectations. The Kurrara is a lovely, quaint old style guest house that has a lot of charm and character. It is very comfortable and the breakfast was quite good. It is also situated close to the Three Sister tracks and the old town with shopping and restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and met other couples who were staying at the Guest House.

Breakfast at a weekend only available 08:00-09:00am not acceptable for a relaxing weekend away even at a guest house charging $100/ night not one charging $300/ night Check in on a Friday evening only available until 19:00 again not acceptable. Reception not actually open, had to phone then wait 5 minutes at 17:00. These times seem to be organised for the convenience of the owners not the guests. Don't book the Deluxe Double Room, 1 King Bed, Non Smoking, Ground Floor. Its next door to the Guest lounge / breakfast room and you will get woken up at 06:30 by breakfast the noise of staff walking about preparing the guest lounge for breakfast. Spa bath was grubby and lethally slippery. Decanter of port in the bedroom a nice touch though.

Delightful period property, and the hosts couldn’t be better, very helpful and attentive, the only place I think I’d ever consider when coming to Katoomba. It’s a 20 min walk from the train station and a 5 min walk to the Prince Henry Cliff Walk round to Echo Point, which is a must if you come here Can’t recommend highly enough
