Paul
Great place, full of character
Linda
A lovely old-world room, beautifully appointed with period furniture and charming antiques that create a warm, nostalgic atmosphere. The continental breakfast, served in the elegant communal dining room, was excellent, with a wonderful variety of delicious options to choose from. The selection of teas, served in delicate porcelain teacups, was a delightful touch that perfectly complemented the experience. We had a very comfortable overnight stay, and the electric blanket was especially appreciated on a chilly night. Highly recommended.
Mark
Very cute, old world and what you’d expect from a Katoomba guesthouse. Everything was there as we required it.
Sandra
The property was very welcoming and congenial and it was fun mingling with other guests in the lounge.
Tong
It is a nice cozy house with lovely heritage interior and furnitures. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The house and room are clean and it's walking distance to town center. Definitely a nice stay overall. The only thing that could be better is the shower, the pressure was a bit low and hard to adjust the temperature.
Kerry
The guesthouse was in a residential and quiet area but walkable to the town and nearby national park walks. Although I drove there I didnt use the car once I arrived. My room was very comfortable and I enjoyed the breakfast in the morning. I would love to return and be able to stay longer.
Gregory
Nice old (1887) guest house. Space was nice and breakfast was very good. Staff was very pleasant and helpful.
My only concern would be if the temperature was hot, as there is no AC. It was fairly cool when we were there so we could open window.

William
Lovely friendly check in. Beautiful restored and well cared for old home. Wonderful stay
Benjamin
Great little find in a convenient location for our overnight stay. Our only real issue was that we didn’t have a fridge in the room to keep drinks cool, but there was a fridge available downstairs in the communal area with milk for tea and coffee etc. Very cute library with hundreds of DVDs to watch in any downtime!
Kelly
What a beautiful place to stay! Our room was comfortable (a little warm and no AC) and the staff was very helpful. We got great recommendations for dining and sightseeing from them. I highly recommend visiting the Katoomba area and Kurrara Guest House is a perfect place to stay. Good breakfast and very charming!
Ruth
Very cozy and comfortable guest house. Ample continental breakfast offered, easy walk to Katoomba town center and to Echo Point for spectacular views. Helpful staff with ample communication res check in and out.
Mark
A little cold in the room
Simon
The owners were very friendly. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was really good.
Maria del Pilar
It wasn't your typical hotel, but rather an old guesthouse, just as I expected. The room was clean but very small. I only saw the owner when I entered and again when I left. I didn't have a chance to ask about the heater because I couldn't find one. Breakfast was good, although I wanted a boiled egg and they told me I had to cook it myself, so I didn't have it. I stayed two nights, but the room was never cleaned. Check-out was at 10 am, very early, even though I had arrived almost at night, so I couldn't really enjoy the house. If you were looking to be close to shops, this isn't the place; it was about a 20-minute walk away. But if you're looking for total peace and quiet away from everyone, this is it.
Elizabeth
Gorgeous old guesthouse, simple breakfast, but lots of cute touches such as port in the room, and the vast array of teas on offer….coffee was awful, but cafe lurlines around the corner is excellent if you need the good stuff….the floors are creaky but that’s part of the charm ….we loved our stay
Diane
Lovely hosts, excellent breakfast, supremely comfortable bed, very clean. Highly recommended.
Tara
Nice historic building. Excellent breakfast included with stay including plenty of vegetarian options.
Gail
This is a beautiful guest house. Beautifully appointed with lots of details and amenities in the room. Loved the tv/dvd/library and loved the lounge/breakfast room. Will recommend and come again!
Cherie
Charming stay; the owners are truly wonderful and go the extra mile to make you feel like family. The rooms are comfortable and clean and I loved the little touches that made my vacation special. Highly recommend!!

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.

It was so lovely stepping back in time it felt very appropriate for our stay at the blue mountains. A beautiful well cared for historic home in a peaceful setting. I will definitely be back!
Markham
The attention to detail, property charm and the hospitality we received was a standout. We had a lovely trip and would recommend to anyone wanting a meaningful break where quality, great service and originality matter.
Nigel
Very welcoming hosts, quirky old guesthouse, full of antiques. Particularly liked the free help yourself port nightcap in the lounge.
Warren
A lovely old guest house, conveniently located, friendly and efficient staff, and tariff includes a tasty breakfast.
Bob H
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.

Breakfast at a weekend only available 08:00-09:00am not acceptable for a relaxing weekend away even at a guest house charging $100/ night not one charging $300/ night
Check in on a Friday evening only available until 19:00 again not acceptable. Reception not actually open, had to phone then wait 5 minutes at 17:00.
These times seem to be organised for the convenience of the owners not the guests.
Don't book the Deluxe Double Room, 1 King Bed, Non Smoking, Ground Floor. Its next door to the Guest lounge / breakfast room and you will get woken up at 06:30 by breakfast the noise of staff walking about preparing the guest lounge for breakfast.
Spa bath was grubby and lethally slippery.
Decanter of port in the bedroom a nice touch though.

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

Look forward to returning there in the future!

Absolutely gorgeous heritage property with charm and character. Loved the library and little extras - like port in the room and good quality bathroom items. Breakfast was lovely and owners friendly and helpful.

Absolutely excellent in every way - strongly recommended. OUr choice for our next visit to the Blue Mountains.

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!

This is a lovely b&b, we were delighted with our stay. Welcoming host who showed us the facilities and extras in the residents lounge. Delicious continental breakfast and very tasty boiled eggs! Very happy.

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.
Trevor
Stay was far too brief and will definitely be back and stay longer next time. Very homely with lots of charm & character as well as super friendly staff.
Gladys
The lodging is situated at a quiet corner in Katoomba, for those who don't drive, it is quite a far walk from the main station itself. The room is extremely small,it can get really stuffy and the window is rather small too. Toilet reeks of urine smell, and the heaters in the room were not working for us at all :( Breakfast choice is 8am-9.30am and the choices were too limted - bread, eggs, fruits, cereal and cheese. The tea selection was nice though.
Louise
Kurrara is a beautiful 1902 house, furnished in the style of the period and settled in a well maintained mountains garden.
The rooms are pleasant, the dining room charming and lounge, which is pictured, is a cosy place to read, chat or watch television.
It is an easy walk to Echo Point, with its views of the Three Sisters and the valley, and the walks which start there and in the opposite direction to Katoomba village, with its range of places to browse and dine.
Last of my likes, but by no means least, the staff at Kurrara were pleasant and very helpful with our special requirements. They made contributed hugely to a memorable few days.
We have racked our brains and can think of nothing that marred our stay at Kurrara, except the weather. We intend to stay there again and hope for sunshine.

Yen
If you are looking for peace and quiet, this place is the ideal place to retreat. Not only is the accomodation kept immaculate at all times, the owners made me feel welcome, looked after and were a pleasure to be around. Location was an extra benefit, being a short walk to echo point and several dining and shopping venues. Would absolutely come and stay here again!!
Christopher
Beautifully presented and clean, full of character and period antiques. Short stroll to town, comprehensive continental breakfast, beautiful garden, credit to all involved!

Wonderful stay! Within 20 min walk of train station, town and Echo Point/Three Sisters. Much of the pleasure of your stay was simply enjoying our beautiful spa suite. Gorgeous fittings & furniture, down to Royal Albert tea setting in the room. Loved using the spa bath in our room, after a long walk in the area. Absolutely recommend. We can't wait to return!

Ian checked us in and he was very friendly and helpful. Our room was full of little extras you don’t normally get. And we loved the beautiful tea / breakfast room. They have such a large supply of tea and good coffee and just loved the afternoon cakes put out. Would definitely stay again!

The rooms were decorated beautifully, breakfast delightful, and our hosts were gracious.

Charming B&B Stay in the Blue Mountains
The Kurarra Guest House is a little off Katoomba's beaten track for shopping and restaurants, but close to the natural wonders Australia's Blue Mountains has to offer. We arrived by train and walked (with bags) to the B&B. With hindsight, I would recommend taking the bus, which we did on the way out. Buses, btw, accept Sidney's mass transit OPAL card.
Once there, the friendly owner introduced us to the common areas, the breakfast schedule and our room. Our deluxe suite was spacious, with a sitting room providing a beautiful view of the garden/yards. The bed was comfortable and the jacuzzi tub was just what we needed after a loooong day of travel. The breakfast the next morning was plentiful and delicious. We were able to sit in a dining area with a similar, luminous garden view.
The Kurarra is just two blocks away from access to the Prince Henry Cliff Walk, which connects all the natural sites in the area. The trail itself is well-maintained but not crowded - at least when we were there in the Fall. Walk all the way to the Three Sisters Viewing area and then on to Katoomba Falls for some spectacular views.
Restaurants and shopping are in the other direction just five short blocks away. Close, but not too close.
Highly recommend this property for your stay!

The historic Karrara had a cozy & homey feel. Loved all the antiques . The receptionist greeted us warmly & provided us with very helpful information on the local area. Our room was on the main floor next to the dining room. And it proved to be somewhat noisy. I could hear the foot steps overhead as well as likely preparation for breakfast in the morning in the adjacent room. Our continental breakfast was adequate but not anything special. It would have been nice to have fresh cut up fruit.
. The Karrara is a bit of a walk from the downtown area & has no dining options close by.

lovely experience
quiet and private location, walking distance to town centre and main attractions, unobtrusive hosts who made us feel really welcome, good breakfast

Beautiful room exactly as described, with a fantastic old world feel. The private ensuite with spa bath was really relaxing after a long day bushwalking, and our room had everything we could need (tea, fridge, tv, dvd, etc).

Great guesthouse
Great stay in the mountains to see gardens and do some bushwalking. Central enough to walk to Katoomba for dinner and then down to the lookouts as well. Comfortable and well serviced with afternoon tea and port in the library.

Very pleasing great old style surrounding. Takes you back in time. If that's what you like then this is the place for you. Nice change from modern Hotels

Away in the Blue Mountains
We enjoyed the blue Mountains. The Guest House served a great breakfast and afternoon tea.
Booking in was frustrating - followed instruction yet no one responded - doors locked and did not answer phone.
The gas fire place was turned off when reception closed. Requests to have it turned on were refused. We were looking forward to sitting in front of the fire reading or playing board games. Very disappointing

Cute guest house
A very cute guest house with fantasic staff who provided free breakfast, afternoon tea, port and a huge selection of DVDs to borrow. Great location! Only thing that would improve the stay would be portable heaters in rooms because the old heaters mounted on the wall were a bit difficult to use.

Lovely atmosphere. Great value. The staff and room were lovely.

A Class Above
At check-in we were given a tour of the facility. This 100+ year old facility has been beautifully renovated. The rooms are clean, woodwork is impressive, bathrooms modernized and good WIFI. The breakfast is high quality with Iain providing fresh boiled eggs. It is short walk to the bus service for Echo Point and Scenic World ( you can use your Opal card ). All staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

Good historic guest house with some glitches
My experience at Kurrara was quite mixed. The Bluebell Room was tiny and lacked space for a chair or suitcase, but was cute in atmosphere with a nice garden outlook. The walls were thin and you could hear other guest's movements. Breakfast was great with a good choice of good quality food. The hot water urn however was placed a bit too high for comfortable and safe lifting. Kurrara is a bit of a long walk from the train station but it is very close to the local bus top, and the Explorer Bus which is very convenient. My shower didn't give hot water for the first two days (due to an undetected worn washer) so
I moved rooms on the third day and had hot water. I was given some discount on the total tarrif and an apology, but only after a very firm discussion with the owner. It would have been more pleasant to have been offered both in a spirit of good will, rather than having to be quite firm in order to extract them.

A charming place to stay.
We loved staying at the Kurrara Historic Guest House! The Lily room with the view was dressed in beautiful antique décor, period style building was surrounded by peaceful garden and the staff were very nice and made us feel very welcome. A very generous continental breakfast was included.
Overall, this hotel is very comfortable, we highly recommend the Guest House to everybody!

Comfortable, clean, cozy.
We had a lovely one night stop over. It had everything we could have wished for. The room was large, bed was very comfortable with lovely linen. Bathroom a bit small but more than adequate and could do with an update. Lovely toiletries. The central heating kept us very warm. Our breakfast was superb and offered lovely fresh boiled eggs. Staff and host very pleasant and welcoming. Very clean throughout and comfortable. Can highly recommend and we would stop over again.
