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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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!
