Mountain Retreat, Steps from Train Station

Summary:
Why not get out of Sydney and spend a few nights in Katoomba, the Blue Mountains' most popular destination? This brand new two-bedroom apartment has everything you need to be comfortable while you explore: a full kitchen, comfy lounge and spacious bedroom. It's also got a fireplace, so you can snuggle up during the winter months. From here it's easy to go bushwalking, but if something more sedate is your style, Katoomba Street's cosy cafes and antique shops are just around the corner.

The Space:
Recently constructed and filled with natural light, this two bedroom apartment is the perfect place to stay, no matter the season.

You’ll have access to the entire property when you stay here, so it will feel like your own home.
- The keys will be left onsite. We will send you the access code 3 days prior to your arrival.

The Neighborhood:
Katoomba is the classic Blue Mountains town. Perched high above Sydney in the middle of the Blue Mountains National Park, it's the jumping off point for some of the area's most iconic attractions: Scenic World, the Three Sisters and Echo Point. Beyond the natural beauty, it's almost impossibly cute, with more than enough beautiful sandstone buildings, art deco cafes, gardens, pubs and boutique shops to keep you busy.

Getting Around:
Two minutes' walk to Katoomba Train Station. Trains leave regularly to Sydney and take two hours to Central Station. You can also catch the train to other towns in the Blue Mountains.

We highly recommend using ride sharing service Uber.

Charming period features in the apartment. Equipped with all mod cons, good heating and two TVs. Perfect location for shops and restaurants. Never saw a human, so I had to supply a selfie before the booking was taken!

Spacious and great location
A modern apartment with everything you need. The lack of Car parking was the only issue. A fantastic location with restaurants and public transport right outside the front door. A very comfortable stay.

Accommodation pretty good. Bedrooms a bit noisy from traffic outside. Disappointed that there was no off street parking and laundry facilities was communal. Also, two steep flight of stairs to negotiate to get to the apartment. Not ideal with suitases.

The apartment was cozy, inviting and warm as it was freezing in the Blue Mountains when we were there. The only thing for me to be a negative, all the pillows were very flat and uncomfortable, had to go to BigW to buy another as we were staying for a few nights. But overall would definitely stay again and would recommend.

Great location!
This apartment is fantastic. A great location in central Katoomba directly opposite the train station and near the hop on/hop off buses and walking distance to great bars and restaurants. The apartment was very comfortable with great appointments. I would definitely stay there again.

Location, Location, Location! Everything is close and surrounded by great food and entertainment. The only downside was that no parking available closeby. We parked in the underground Coles car park which is a 5 min walk
