Nice little house. Great views and a great little fire to warm you up. Close to everything and our host was super friendly and helpful. The house was a little dusty, but otherwise in great condition.
All in all it was a great stay. We had everything we needed and plenty of room for all to sleep. It was clean and tidy. The views were amazing to wake up to. Communication from the host was excellent. We would stay here again.

What a beautiful place to stay for a weekend away. Very flexible configuration - teenagers slept downstairs and mum and dad upstairs. Fantastic view and loved having our own fire to light each night, although the property was beautifully warm and insulated. Everything we were looking for in our short family getaway.

Lovely place to spend time with friends. The views are awesome. The accommodation has just about everything you need if you want to cook your own meals. Lots of heating options for those worried about being cold.
This was a great place for a relaxing family get together! The changing weather was a lovely backdrop while we enjoyed meals (plenty of crockery etc and the kitchen stocked with basics), watched tennis and read books, waiting for the rain to stop so we could enjoy nearby bush walks. Having to take own sheets and towels a minor inconvenience. We’re looking forward to going back! Thanks for a lovely stay.

We had a great time at Haveli. We stayed here as 2 couples. The place had a good central room with Fireplace and kitchen, good views across the Blue Mountains and plenty of beds. It was very comfortable and the owners have written a fantastic overview booklet. It's 2mins drive from Katoomba town centre and a good base for exploring nearby Echo Point, 3 sisters, Leura and Scenic World. To top it off there is great Indian food at the end of the street! The only criticisms are that the fireplace had not been cleaned, firewood logs were too thick, and there was no axe to split them down and the place was hard to find when arriving at night and could benefit from a sensor light. Otherwise loved it.

Hi Steve, Thanks for the great feedback. We are glad that you had lovely time at the Indian Haveli. We purposely do not clean ash out of the combustion fire. It is is considerably easier to get the fire started with a nice bed of ash. We supply kindling and the smaller 8-10 inch firewood, so there should be no need for an axe. I am guessing that you tried to put the larger firewood on too early. Yes, a solar light is on my list of things to do for the house number. Kind Regards, Mark
Overall, it was a nice house close to Katoomba city centre.
House was nice and clean with all you need for a nice stay in mountains. Beds are comfortable and living area have beautiful mountain view .
This house needs nice balcony to sit outside and enjoy the view, nevertheless you can do that from inside.
Another wonderful stay at this beautiful property. Have been holidaying here for the past 16 years which is a fair indication of how much I love this home. Can’t wait to return

At nature’s door step. Enjoyed the view. Quiet and peaceful location that is close enough to town. The property has plenty of room and is well equipped. Streaming on devices can run slow at times.
