      We really enjoyed this stay. We stayed for one night. The room was good. No problems with parking and the breakfast was lovely. The only thing missing was a small fridge in the room but overall we liked the location(just out of town) and it was quiet and quaint. It was fully booked and we didnt hear a thing. Also like the electric blankets.

      Lovely guest house but”

      My stay in 2017 was a wonderful experience in a larger downstairs suite. This time I had a cozy room upstairs which was sunny, very clean, nicely furnished, and warm enough when the temperature dipped at night. Louise, who laid out the breakfast buffet, was warm and welcoming, just as she was during my last stay. The public dining and lounge areas were picture perfect and regularly cleaned. Unfortunately, I received a very rude and cold check-in (can't say welcome) by, I assume, the owner. Despite no current requirement by law within hotels/restaurants/bars/public accommodation, he insisted masks must be worn inside the house, except in your own room, as well as putting on plastic gloves to handle the tea/coffee/food items in the dining room. Considering there were zero community cases in NSW at the time and having no contact with any Covid person/area, and being able to be 2m apart from any other person for no more than a few seconds during my stay, it showed a lack of understanding of both government health regulations and risk management and made me feel like I was being admitted to a hospital instead of checking into a nice B&B.

      Charming Guest House”

      Friendly owner and staff, comfort, quiet location

      We were very pleased with our stay at Kurrara House. It's a short walk from the train station, about 10 minutes if you don't have too much luggage, and is very close to one of the stops of the hop-on hop-off scenic buses. We had wonderful chats with our host Iain. He gave us lots of local news as well as info about restaurants, sightseeing and transit. The room was very comfy and the breakfast in the morning set us up nicely for a day of walking. There is a large selection of quality movies on DVD that can be played on monitors in each individual room. We would definitely return to Kurrara House if we found ourselves in Katoomba again.

      Short walk to scenic bus stop, hop on hop off, home from home atmosphere in the house and daily home made croissant

      We walked from Katoomba station max 10 minutes and the house was easy to find. Our room which we chose before hand when booking was just as described. The bed was super comfortable and the bathroom large. Everything worked as it should, even the heating came on due to the cold weather which was a little too warm for us! Breakfast was great especially the home made warm croissants. The house is full of antiques as well as books and DVDs for guest use. We went to the Old Bank brasserie upstairs on their recommendation and thoroughly enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Definitely stay again here when we come back to Blue Mountains.

      Close to Three Sisters!”

      While the downtown area is hustle-bustle, Kurrara Guest House is just far enough out of downtown so that it is a peaceful reprieve, yet close enough to walk to many things. It is just a couple of blocks from the main entrance to Echo Point and the Three Sisters. The rooms are quaint and each has its own bathroom. The morning breakfast is delicious with fresh croissants, great coffee, fresh fruit and homemade granola. We loved it!

      We stayed for only one night, any more and it would probably be out of our budget range. But it is a beautiful, comfortable and well maintained hotel. The breakfast is only continental but it was delicious. It is located in between downtown katoomba and the look out of echo point. It is also close to the bus stop for the blue mountain sights. Complimentary port is also available and a really nice touch.

      Location - Quiteness - Comfortable

      The staff were were very helpful, friendly and willing to give honest advise. The location was excellent, off main roads, and very quiet, but still close to all attractions. The continental breakfast was simple with a wide variety of options. Would thoroughly recommend the Kurrara Guest House to stay.

      Last minute night away”

      Got a last minute deal for a one night stay. The property was easy to find, had on site and street parking. We were very warmly greeted. Immediately noticed how clean the property was. We were shown our room, room facilities, shared facilities and where breakfast would be. Very friendly and chatty staff - gave us a brief history of the house. Great location - max 10 min walk to Katoomba town centre. Comfy bed, huge selection of DVDs and breakfast was fab!! Loved our stay and would definitely go back!!

      Hotel was great, comfortable with hearty breakfast”

      1. hearty breakfast with Korean instant noodles for the asian palate! 2. clean and comfortable 3. hop on bus ticket available for sale at the hotel

      As above. However, Bell on the back door didn't work so I went around the house which happened to have scared one of the staff cleaning one of the rooms as the appearance was sudden. She invited me into the guest room that she was cleaning to get through to the main lobby. However the owner was quite crossed with me for scaring his staff and entering someone's guest room, saying that I should have used the front door or the bell at the back door, which he later realise is not working. The hostility is definitely uncalled for. There is also no bathroom for common use as we were unable to check in up arrival at 10am. We were asked to use the bathroom at a nearby coffee shop which we ended up using the one at list bear museum, where the lady staff was extremely friendly. Kurrara could have been much more friendly in the above aspects.

      Nice stay”

      The actual house is gorgeous, love the interior and the cleanliness of guest room. It is bit far walk to find dinner but we have car so no problem at all. We would definitely stay here again if we have chance to explore Blue mountain again.

      We all had a lovely stay at Kurrara. Beautiful clean rooms and the bedding was Lux. Ian, the owner creates a very nice continental breakfast with lots of choice. Stephanie at reception was lovely and fixed up my stuff up re: date/s very quickly. We loved Kurrara and will be back.

      Cozy neighbourhood stay”

      Very cute heritage B&B with all the amenities you would expect from a modern hotel. Located a bit away from Katoomba town centre but it is close to a few points of interest such as the blue mountains chocolate shop. Included breakfast is vegetarian which offered a wide range of teas and jam. The dining room can be visited at anytime for tea, coffee, biscuits etc. There was also a good range of quality dvds available to borrow during our stay. The quaint bedroom was very charming but small so there wasn't much space to place our belongings. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.
