The village cafés, little shops and train station are all within walking distance. Spend your days exploring the Mountains, wandering into town or simply enjoying the pleasure of nowhere in particular to be.

  • "Stop looking and book this place! Bec and Ian’s place was far and away the best Airbnb we have ever stayed at."

    Kelsey, AirBnB Guest, March 2026

  • "Bec & Ian’s place truly felt like stepping into the pages of a beautiful country-style magazine. I’ve never considered myself much of a bath person, yet I found myself enjoying a long soak every night — it was incredibly relaxing."

    Virginia, AirBnB Guest, January 2026

  • "After 14 years on Airbnb, this is easily one of my top stays! The kitchen was so well-equipped I actually fell in love with cooking again. It’s the little things that make this place truly special!"

    Fadhila, AirBnb Guest, January 2026

  • "Probably the most beautiful Airbnb that I’ve stayed in. Do not hesitate to book , you will not be disappointed!"

    Kevin, AirBnb Guest, March 2026

  • “Location is hard to beat, in one direction it’s a short walk to the main street of Katoomba and in the other direction you can find yourself deep in lush, mountainous terrain within minutes.”

    Josh, AirBnB Guest, October 2026

  • "We honestly didn’t want to leave and were a little sad checking out. Such a beautiful place to slow down, switch off and enjoy some peace and quiet. We’d come back in a heartbeat."

    Jisoo, AirBnB Guest, October 2026

  • “The highlight for us was the wood stove. Lighting a fire in the evening made it feel like a real mountain retreat. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful, cosy escape in the mountains.”

A Little Cottage with a Story

Our little cottage was built for miners in the 1880s and originally stood near Katoomba Falls. In the 1890s, it was moved closer to town, to the spot where it stands today.

By the time we found it, it had been sitting empty for more than thirty years. We’re both romantics with a soft spot for Australian history, and we could still see its charm beneath all those years of wear.

It turns out that restoring a little weatherboard cottage is a rather good fit for a timber boatbuilder. Ian brought his craft to the restoration, even making the kitchen by hand from reclaimed boat timbers.
