I had booked a 2 rooms but got an upgrade to stay at Annie's cottage as we were 2 families. The cottage was beautifully maintained. The house was clean and comfortable with parking at the back. Very close to Katoomba station and town centre. We loved our stay there.

Room was clean, nice decor in room and common areas. There was a restaurant but it was only open for continental breakfast. Location was good as it was walking distance to Echo Point and to downtown Katoomba.

Free breakfast was cereals and toast. It was nice that it was very quiet and homey, despite the walls being as thin as paper. Best part was the location - very accessible to a lot of dining areas and the sites.
