About this property

Sidneys Retreat Summa

Summary:
"Your very own hideaway- luxurious enough to spend the weekend inside but near civilisation and nature to spend it outside. This is the next best thing to having your own home away from home."
Malcolm Knox, Sydney Morning Herald
Sidney’s Retreat has two large queen size bedrooms and is perfect for two couples or a family and with extra bedding can comfortably sleep 6. It is conveniently located within 2 min walk to Katoomba cafes and restaurants and 10 min to the 3 sisters at Echo point.

The Neighborhood:
Sidney’s Retreat is located in historic Lurline Street, Katoomba in the centre of the World Heritage region of the Blue mountains , a scenic 1 1/2 hours drive from Sydney.

This beautiful self-catering cottage is a convenient 2 minute walk into Katoomba’s interesting Art Deco main street for shopping and restaurants and a 5 minute stroll to the rail station.

A leisurely stroll down Lurline Street takes you past cafes, galleries and craft centres to the amazing sight of the Three Sisters on the edge of the Katoomba Escarpment.

Getting Around:
There is a train station at Katoomba only a 5 min walk from the house down lurline st. There are buses in Katoomba st, Lurline st and surrounding suburbs in easy walking distance from the cottage.
There is parking on Lurline and Leichhart Streets, though not directly outside the house.
Sydney is a 1 1/2 hour drive.

Other Things to Note:
We do not have onsite parking, the best place to park is at the corner of Leichhardt and Lurline st at the top of Leichhardt St facing down the hill.
We strongly recommend anyone with mobility issues does not stay with us as we have a set of stairs down from the road to the front door.

Interaction with Guests:
This is non hosted accommodation, so you will not see anyone during your stay. However, if you do need help we are only a phone call away.

Charming holiday getaway
We absolutely loved staying at Sidney’s Retreat. Location was close, walking distance to shopping and restaurants. Short drive to Scenic Lookout and to beautiful views of the Blue Mountains. Home was charming, lovely and had everything we needed to make our stay very comfortable. Wished we could have stayed longer!

Surprise birthday getaway!
A small little cottage filled with charm. The location was great and convenient. As mentioned before, the property doesn't have parking, however, that didn't affect the overall stay.

Cosy & convenient
This little cottage is conveniently located walking distance to the shops which include, Woolworths, Aldi, Big W, bakeries, restaurants etc. The beds were comfortable and there are beautiful floor to ceiling windows. Easy communication with property manager, property clean and stocked with toiletries and kitchen condiments. Just be mindful that there are stairs to access the cottage, no onsite parking (street parking available) and no washer/dryer.

Lovely getaway in central Katoomba
Really great place to stay. Within walking distance of main shops but still very quiet and secluded.
