Relaxed stay in the beautiful blue mountains

Evelyn and Iain were great hosts. The property is very historic, interesting and quiet. The homemade muesli was a highlight. As was yoga with Evelyn. Would love to come again for longer.

Great stay in Katoomba!

Lovely stay at Kurrara Guest House…Iain and Evelyn were fantastic hosts and couldn’t do enough to help. It’s a convenient location - about a 15 min walk from both the town centre and the Echo Point lookout. Would definitely recommend!

The property (while historic), is gorgeous! Staff were very friendly and while parking inside the property was a little tight for bigger cars, there is plenty of street parking. Look forward to returning there in the future!

Wonderful stay

We had a lovely couple of days at Kurrara. The beautiful period details and extra touches made it very special. The rooms weren't sound proof but that's to be expected at a property like this; the house has wonderful character.

Delightful period property, and the hosts couldn’t be better, very helpful and attentive, the only place I think I’d ever consider when coming to Katoomba. It’s a 20 min walk from the train station and a 5 min walk to the Prince Henry Cliff Walk round to Echo Point, which is a must if you come here Can’t recommend highly enough

Beyond our expectations

Our stay was beyond our expectations. The Kurrara is a lovely, quaint old style guest house that has a lot of charm and character. It is very comfortable and the breakfast was quite good. It is also situated close to the Three Sister tracks and the old town with shopping and restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and met other couples who were staying at the Guest House.
