It was on Easter holiday and its a last minute rush booking on the phone right on the day for me and my 2 young kids. I found this guest house on the google map. The owner on the phone during the talk never mentioned this house is not suitable for kids and there were no questions like how many people and if there were kids like other hotels normally did during the booking and I was in rush not to mention that. When we check in, immediately I found out the kids can make too much noise for the people downstairs as it's an old timber house, though it's nice, its old and any move can cause the noise. I had to keep telling them not to run not to move to rough. It became a stress. Plus I feel uncomfortable by the look of the male owner at my kids when they run around and how he told them not to do this, not to do that. After only 1 hour, I asked him if we can have part of the refund and find another place because the kids can make too much noise for the people downstair. But instead of taking on any responsibilities, he fully blamed me, he told me 'you need to tell me about the kids, not me asking you'. He was rude and refuse to make any refund at all. Yes, it's part of my mistake but it was also their fault and responsibilities to inform the guest about the house too, its not suitable for young kids. Rather than trying to solve problem with a bit of understanding and compassion, he completely was rude and blame everything on me. Nevertheless, I just don't feel comfortable to cause noise to other guests and also don't want to constantly stop my kids from doing what kids normally do, we left right after that, just after 1.5 hour of checking-in.

Amazing stay. Gorgeous historic view building, impeccably clean and hosts Ian, Evelyn and Marnie, very accomodating with many warming little touches. Would highly recommend

Kurrara Guest House is a truly spectacular place to spend time. My partner and I went there recently and were so happy with our stay. Every little touch is catered for. The owners were also very obliging when we needed to rebook due to health. I strongly recommend this guest house for its great location as all the spectacular scenery is a walk or very short bus ride away. The house also has a delightful ambience, it's like stepping back in time except with all the luxuries. We'll be back again for sure.

We had a lovely time at Kurrara Historical House. Ian was a great host, and provided a delicious spread for breakfast, ranging from cereals, breads, fresh fruits, cheeses and freshly cooked croissants. Ian goes the extra mile by providing all sorts of milks (including dairy free), a selection of over 40 tea varieties (+ coffee machine) as well as biscuits and chocolates available during the day. The rooms were very comfortable and beautifully maintained. This includes the surrounding gardens which were a delight and very well tended, giving a homely/cottage vibe. We really enjoyed having afternoon tea in the sun room after our bushwalk, looking out into the garden. We couldn't have asked for more, would highly recommend!

My husband and I stayed here for our wedding anniversary and it was so cosy and comfortable, the hosts were lovely and the place was clean. I loved the selection of tea and the eclectic mix of different tea pots. Kurrara guest house is very close to many great restaurants and the katoomba night walk where you get to see cliff faces and waterfalls lit up at night truly breathing.

Average to small sized room with a bright clean bathroom. Was difficult to know where to put my suitcase and bag. The lounge and library were beautifully furnished in period style and perfect places to sit and read. There was a sideboard with a huge selection of complimentary teas, coffee, milks etc.

Not child friendly - Our friends couldn’t make their stay so offered their room to us. We arrived to check in with our four year old in tow (who was not in the booking) but instead of being warm and welcoming a ‘place of family’ the man at the desk was so incredibly rude, clearly perturbed that we could simply share a bed and then insisted that she not make a peep for the other guests…. We walked out. No one needs to feel apologetic before the stay even takes place! Very lovely looking place but the Basil Fawlty at reception meant we didn’t make it past the foyer.

We booked 3 rooms here last minute. My partner and I arrived at 1:35pm (check in being at 2pm) to take a look and see if it was possible to check in early. The property was locked with a note to call a mobile for check in. Another couple from overseas was waiting outside as they had emailed prior about checking in early however no one there to let them in. When I called the number provided a lady responded to a very rude tone “is it 2pm already? I’m out shopping but I can get the housekeeper to take your bags in.” So our first impression of the staff was poor. We didn’t mind waiting but it was the way we were spoken to. When we did check in, the house itself is beautiful and exactly how you would expect a historic house. The floor creaks with every step and you can hear every sneeze and conversation through the walls. Lots of afternoon tea options which is nice and cute spaces to sit. THERE IS NO AIRCON ! Yes I know this is normal for historic homes however it was 30 degrees during our stay so the upstairs rooms were boiling. If we knew how hot it was going to be inside the rooms we wouldn’t have booked. The worst was how the staff treated the guests. My father in law was up early and went downstairs to make a coffee and was rudely told to get out while she was setting up breakfast. We watched the same woman rudely speak with another couple as well. All of our interactions with the staff made the experience unwelcoming and we will not be back.

Would highly recommend this place! The service was outstanding and felt very personal. Breakfast was just absolutely delicious with an array of fresh fruits, bread, cheese, and a self-serve coffee and tea area. The Lily room was spacious and clean, and the other lounging areas have a spectacular ambience with garden views.

The rooms were artistically decorated with a historic touch and feel. We enjoyed the SPA so much! The lounges were wonderful places for guests to interact with one another during breakfast and afternoon tea. Thank you very much Ian for your hospitality and even going the extra mile to get something for us from the grocery store. It was a great experience staying in this beautiful house! Highly recommended!!!

My partner and I stayed for 2 nights at Kurrara over the weekend and enjoyed our stay very much. The property is absolutely charming and is meticulously cared for and maintained by delightful owners Iain and Evelyn. We enjoyed a simple yet satisfying breakfast, with our gluten free and dairy free needs met without any issues. We are already planning our next visit. Highly recommend this property.

Very nice and peculiar inn. The bedrooms and common rooms are very warm and cozy. The tea selection available all day is great. The breakfast is ok: more selection of homemade and fresh food would be suggested. Location is not very convenient if you don’t have a car (all the restaurants and the station are 15 minutes uphill).

Old style Victorian guest house. It was purposefully designed as a guest house. Our room was spacious and we were on the ground floor.

We really enjoyed our stay here! The place feels very homely, almost like staying with relatives. The other guests were very respectful so we had no concerns about noise. We loved our room 'Aster' upstairs and found the bed very comfortable. I love Bed and Breakfasts around the Blue Mountains, they feel like they're from a different time - if that's not your style then Kurrara might not be for you but we loved it! I'd say it's mostly designed for couples, rather than families. Also the breakfast was wonderful and I greatly appreciated the gluten free options.

I had the privilege of spending the Easter weekend in a lovely and extremely well-appointed room (Magnolia suite) within this gorgeous guesthouse. The building and decor epitomise rustic, old-world charm and romance in every way. Location was perfect as well, with the Katoomba town centre mere minutes away by foot. Many thanks to Iain for his hospitality, kindness, and dedication to preserving the beauty and heritage of such a unique B&B.

Honourably heartfelt stay at this wonderful guest house. The ambiance transports you back to a sophistication nobility era of class and poise that’s lost and forgotten. Keeping within the era the décor is breathtaking with conversational pieces scattered in a plethora of delight around the house. Each room is tastefully decorated. So peaceful and serenely quiet. The owners go above and beyond with the little things that count. They have thought of everything. Such a romantic period establishment that will linger in memories. So comfortable and quiet in a great location.

This place is amazing. It's well located. Very close to Leura and Kurrajong. It's a beautiful old house with large comfortable rooms. It's very quiet. The staff are friendly and helpful. It's a guest house not a hotel but the rooms are much better. The breakfast was really nice with a few nice touches. For example they make their own muesli. If I went to the Blue Mountains again I would definitely stay there again.

We absolutely loved our stay here, very comfy beds, clean, a great breakfast and the most lovely staff, we will be back for sure, I would highly recommend it 👍😘

Fantastic accommodation. The staff were great really helpful and friendly. fantastic breakfast with plenty of choice available. Great access to the blue mountains and other villages nearby especially the three sisters.

Oldie world guest house. Stayed a week and enjoyed our stay. Try and book the rooms downstairs as they are larger. No downstairs toilets so had to climb the stairs again. Saves gym fees. No place to hang clothes in our room. Staff & Owners were helpful. Breakfast was good but would appreciate some variety if there for a long stay.
