Arohanui - Traditional Mountains Cottage

Welcome to Arohanui, meaning “big love” in Māori — your quintessential Blue Mountains cottage just five minutes’ walk from the iconic Three Sisters and fifteen minutes from the heart of Katoomba. This charming, character-filled home invites you to unwind, reconnect, and soak up the peace of the surrounding nature. From the tranquil back deck overlooking lush gardens and visiting native birds to cozy evenings by the fire, Arohanui offers a true mountain experience with all the modern comforts.

Ideal for families, friends, or couples, the cottage comfortably sleeps up to six guests across three bedrooms. Enjoy a fully equipped kitchen, inviting living spaces, and thoughtful touches that make every stay memorable. The home’s classic mountains décor and warm atmosphere create the perfect setting for relaxation after a day exploring local bushwalks, waterfalls, and cafes.

Guests have full access to the house and gardens, with convenient street parking directly in front. Please note that Arohanui shares the property with Aroha Studio at the rear — both are fully private, self-contained spaces. Whether you’re seeking adventure, tranquility, or simply quality time together, Arohanui Cottage is your “house of love” in the heart of the Blue Mountains.
