Oatley Place is a beautiful, character filled cottage. It was very clean, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with cookware, utensils etc. The back deck was a great spot to relax, overlooking the well manicured, green backyard, which was perfect for our dogs. Thanks again Ted!

Very comfortable warm place to stay, it had everything we needed as a family of four, big kitchen table, nice gas fire and big tv, our dog loved the garden, it was very quite at night but close enough to walk to the cafes and shops of Katoomba, and the Blue Mountains chocolate shop for delicious hot chocolate after one of our walks. It is close to various walks, including the katoomba reserve walk where we could take our dog on a walk with the lovely views over the blue mountains.

Property was great!

We had a great time. Older building which has been done up. Tall ceilings in front rooms. Plenty of hot water, modern kitchen, seperate lounge giving 3 living areas including the veranda. Short walk to RSL and coffee shop, takeaway and down to 3 sisters. Parking for two cars. Street is narrow meaning any other cars would have to park in the side street which is very close.

Repeat stay

This is the third time we have stayed at 8 Oatley Place. I guess this must something for the premises and facilities. We want a place that is quiet but close to town and amenities This house is roughly half way between Katoomba township and Echo Point. Both being in easy walking distance. The house has excellent heating and all the equipment including BBQ that you could possibly need. We only ate in for breakfast so did not use much beyond toaster, fridge and kettle. If we return to Katoomba this will again be our property of choice.

Awesome Katoomba getaway

Oatley House did not disappoint! It had everything you need plus more. We were completely self sufficient without having to buy extra things like washing powder, glad wrap, salt and pepper, glad wrap. The property was immaculate and fantastic location. 10 min walk to the three sisters and 10 min relaxed easy walk to city centre. No need to use your car. Very very quiet area. An old worldly boutique stay ! Bring your walking shoes and you won’t be disappointed!! Great property Ted. Thank you. Our dog was also impressed with the safe and secure backyard with plenty of space to play ball many times per day. Highly recommend this property and location.
