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!

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!

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!

The property (while historic), is gorgeous! Staff were very friendly and while parking inside the property was a little tight for bigger cars, there is plenty of street parking. Look forward to returning there in the future!
