Our family stayed at Olive nook for a short getaway and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property has everything you need for a comfortable stay, very functional and quaint. Our little dog Einstein also had a great time running around in the yard. And the best part about this place is its location. It’s 5 mins from everything you need to get to in the Blue Mountains. Highly recommend this property.

No idea location to katoomba good.the traffic noise was very bad.icould not sleep.the property is on top of the highway. I was forced to leave 5 days early very basic .
We loved it. Clean, cute, and different. Our teen enjoyed imagining how this house would have been modern a 100 years ago. It has all amenities of modern times, but the main structure is historical. We strongly recommend this property.
Super cute and quirky little cottage with everything we needed for a weekend. The back of the house where the bathroom is is not heated and it was FREEZING. The location was great for getting around but was a bit too close to the main road for my liking. It's also attached to the cottage next door and the neighbour was very noisy.
