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.

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.

Cool Retro Unit, Blue Mountains

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.

Warm comfortable space for a lovely getaway

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.

Lovely cottage in the mountains

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.

Wonderful Experience

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.

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.

We live and work in Sydney but Katoomba is our home away from home. We won't be able to meet you in person but we can be easily reached by telephone.

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.
