We loved our stay here, great location, central but quiet and an easy walk to the Three Sisters. The house is very comfortable with the open fire and electric blankets being very warm.
Our stay in this amazing home was the best to date. The 40’s vibe, decor, layout etc. loved it. The closeness to Blue Mountains was perfect. We even walked to Lillian’s for dinner, 100m from home. We loved our stay, definitely use again if in the area.
Thank you for making it a really easy stay and loved the fireplace and heated blankets as well as the flowers around the property. It was really enjoyable.
What a great little flat in a standout location! Tracey is a fabulous host, very responsive and helpful. The flat was clean and tidy and felt like home. We were sad to leave!

Thanks for choosing our holiday home
Hopefully you can return in the future.
It was a cold rainy weekend in Katoomba but our accommodation was dry and toasty warm. After a trip to Megalong Books in Leura and Glee Books in Blackheath we were set to read and drink tea by the fire in the living room. We had a great weekend and much needed unwind.

The property lives up to its title of "Restored 1940's Holiday Flat". It was super cosy and the heater surprisingly warm despite the heavy cloud and low temperatures outside. Just perfect.
What a wonderful time we had. A great location for the Blue Mountains Music Festival. The house had everything we needed. Very comfortable stay. Loved the decor! Thank you. Will definitely be back.

Rachel is welcome to stay at our holiday flat anytime. Recommended guest.
Cool Authentic Retro Unit for fun short stay in Katoomba. Funny to see the technology driven teenage kid’s reaction to the 50s decor of this great unit. Location was short walk to 3 Sisters info centre and walking/hiking trails. Located just the right distance from the hustle of the Katoomba town centre. Self sufficient accommodation with all the necessary amenities, good wifi.
Hi,
Spent two nights with my paramour in this wonderful space. Even though it was cold and miserable outside the fireplace kept the home warm and the heaters in the bedroom took the edge off.
The only small issue was the amount of hot water,. Even economic use sees it deplete far too quickly....
Highly recommended for a romantic weekend away. .

Thanks Jason. We have not had this feed back about the hot water before. The gas was refilled the day before you arrived and the system is instantaneous heating ... I am hoping you could send me a message or call about how you experienced this. Eg during a shower or filling a bath? Many thanks.
We stayed for two nights whilst taking in the scenery of Katoomba. The cottage is a step back in time and tastefully styled. All the basic comforts you would expect are provided and the location is perfect for accessing walking tracks without having to drive. We recommend this property, it was lovely.
This is a lovely property a stone's throw away from Three Sisters. A well appointed apartment in which we were very comfortable. We would highly recommend it to anyone. Tracey, the owner, went out of her way to meet our needs, including posting some things that we left behind back to us.
Clean property in a great location close to the 3 sisters. Parking in front of garage was a bit weird with other cards around/close but aside from that everything was wonderful and easy. Thank you!
Such a lovely little cottage! Very clean and has everything you could need for a weekend. The fire and heaters made for a cosy house as well. Also a lot of great walks nearby. Tracey was very helpful throughout the whole booking process as well!
A happy place to jump off from for exploring the Blue Mountains.

Wonderful and relaxing!
We loved our stay here. It was so close to everything and the feeling of the cottage is relaxing and warm. Everything is there to make your stay comfortable including games, puzzles and DVDs which our two girls enjoyed. It is clean, beautifully renovated with awesome detail in furniture and lighting. Loved the light filled rooms and comfortable beds. Would highly recommend to everybody!

Charming, sun-filled,cosy and quiet.
We really enjoyed staying in the thoughtfully restored apartment. The street is quiet, and the rooms get sun most of the day. It was still much appreciated having so many heating options, we felt cosy at all times. We would love to return.

Why they chose this property
This flat is one of six. They were built in the year 1950 as purpose built holiday flats. We purchased three of them (right side of drive way) in 2003 as a restoration project. We loved the fact that under the bad carpets and linoleum the original floors were there to restore. The bathrooms and kitchens were also original. Importantly the building has a north aspect which ensures greater warmth. We love that you can do stunning bush walks without driving anywhere first.
What makes this property unique
This flat was the perfect place to use our collection of mid-20th Century furniture and bric-a -brac.
