About this property

The Bird House - a family-friendly cottage in Katoomba

Country style cottage situated in a tranquil part of South Katoomba. Be at home in the rustic western red cedar interiors and exposed beams for that romantic mountain lodge feeling.
This three bedroom cottage is split over two levels and is equally suited to families, couples and small groups. The main level has two bedrooms, open plan living, dining and kitchen, bathroom and laundry. Ducted gas heating throughout. Upstairs you will find a spacious third bedroom/playroom with toys and a second television to keep the kids busy.

Celebrate the great outdoors and explore the English-style cottage garden, beautiful in every season. Birdwatchers can delight in the abundance of King Parrots, Crimson Rosellas, Cockatoos and other bird life in the area - attract them to the backyard with the native bird feeders and watch them up close! Relax in the backyard in the warmer months and cook up an Aussie storm on the BBQ.
Take a stroll through the bush behind the property, down to pond to feed the ducks or take bikes down the old Catalina Raceway for the kids to race around the track.

Just a short walk down the hill, the Katoomba Aquatic Centre has indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a gym and a large children's play centre.

The cottage is a short drive to iconic destinations; the Three Sisters at Echo Point, Katoomba Falls and Scenic World; and a few minutes drive to Katoomba supermarkets, shops, cafes and restaurants.

Loved the bird visits!
The Birdhouse in Katoomba is a charming getaway! We absolutely loved the frequent visits from the local birds it added such a magical touch to the experience. The accommodation had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, but it could definitely use better insulation. Noise traveled quite a bit, even up to the second floor. Despite that, it was a delightful place to connect with nature and unwind.

Superb peaceful stay
Our 3-day stay in the Bird House was magical - from the welcoming king parrots and cockatoos in the stunning gardens, to the comfy beds and spacious house, the excellent kitchen, and the friendly and accommodating hosting from Claire. The location is brilliant, beautiful and peaceful, and just a few minutes' drive to Katoomba's sites, shops and cafes. So much to see around, but also just as nice to relax at the house and watch the birds and butterflies at play. Thank you Claire!

Well appointed and super cute
We spent a week at the Bird House and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was close to Katoomba shops and to bush walks; there is a public pool 5 mins walk down the hill; Cahill Lookout is a short drive away and a superb spot to watch the sun set. And there are some gorgeous birds that visit twice a day - cockatoos, king parrots and rosellas. The kitchen and pantry are well stocked with everything you need. And the pillows are the most comfortable we have ever experienced in a holiday home! There are heaps of DVDs and games. 10/10

Great home base for mountain walks
Property was as advertised. Very clean and well supplied linen and food prep essentials. The house is very well situated for local iconic walks and only a very short drive to shops. The little BBQ worked well but I could not stop the flow of gas without shutting off the gas bottle. Might be an issue if someone is slow to light it after having the lid down. The driveway is a bit of a challenge with a larger car but there was ample paring on the street. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Gorgeous cottage
This place was so perfect! My 9 and 11 year old boys were more in love with this place than a beach front apartment we rented last year! Location was exactly where we needed to be. Communication with the owner was easy and more linen than you could ever possibly need! Can’t speak highly enough of our blue mountains experience.

Absolute Gem!
It's a fantastic cottage to stay in whilst exploring in the Blue Mountains. Super clean presentation, very comfortable beds, and everything that we needed was here. Street is quiet and a close drive to local Aldi and Woolworths. Bird seed provided for local birds that come and visit in the afternoons. Just the most perfect little cottage for a family of 6!

Fantastic family house stay
This gorgeous property has everything you will need for the whole family. It provides a homely feel, and as we stayed in the heart of winter, the heating was very adequate. We really enjoyed the stay there which was a few minutes away from the tourist busy areas of Katoomba, but had very quick access to the highway without being involved in the high traffic buildup around Katoomba. The birds visiting the backyard feeders were great to watch out of the window.

Beautiful home for a family stay
The Bird House is a beautiful warm home for a family stay. The host is very generous with all the inclusions - you have everything you need to feel at home. Our kids loved the bedroom loft and having their own space upstairs. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
