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 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!

Wonderful stay

We had a lovely couple of days at Kurrara. The beautiful period details and extra touches made it very special. The rooms weren't sound proof but that's to be expected at a property like this; the house has wonderful character.
