Katoomba Green Gables - Tranquility so close

Katoomba Green Gables is a quaint 1920s Blue Mountains cottage in South Katoomba just 5 minutes walk from the main supermarkets and Katoomba Street. "So close to everything!". Only 1.5km away from The Three Sisters, Echo Point and Scenic World.
It is ideally located in a quiet cul-de-sac with real mountains feel, leafy area vistas toward Catalina Park Nature Reserve, and its own gorgeous mountains garden. Park under the carport, in the drive, or in the quiet street.
Being so centrally located, it provides easy access to Katoomba Train Station, The Carrington Hotel and Old City Bank Brasserie, a wealth of cafes, restaurants and shops, live music venues, plus the many Tourist Sites and Bushwalks.
Katoomba Green Gables can be your romantic getaway, a young family holiday, a friends’ get-together, or couples sharing fun. You can sleep up to 6 people, with 2 bedrooms each with queen-sized beds, and 1 double sofa-bed in the second living area. Wifi broadband internet is provided.
The house offers a light-bathed interior, and has the atmosphere of its original features combined with its many modern conveniences.
The internal sitting areas include 2 living rooms each with 2 sofas, and external sitting areas - a garden bench and table, a 2-garden-chair setting, and a garden table with 4 chairs.
Katoomba Green Gables is the place to relax and enjoy the fresh mountains air. You may choose to snuggle up in the cosy warmth after a day of bushwalking or sightseeing, or unwind with a glass of wine. Bird lovers may notice the king parrots, eastern rosellas, eastern spinebills, new holland honeyeaters, wattle birds etc in the garden.
The comfortable Main Living Room has a fireplace with a gas log fire, and there is Gas Central Heating throughout the house.

Quaint little cottage within walking distance of main town

Cute cottage. Tastefully decorated with comfortable beds and all the required amenities. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and daily walks into town and surrounding areas. The garden's are well maintained, providing a sanctuary to enjoy a morning cuppa or evening wine.

A Great Place to Stay.

We stayed in the middle of winter. (It snowed!!) It was so great to come home and turn on the fireplace. It was so warm, as was central heating. The fireplace warmed the house. The place is beautifully renovated, lovely touches inside. Had everything. We parked the car and walked everywhere from here. The owners always replied immediately. A great place to stay.

Charming and oh so comfortable!

Charming property close to cafes, supermarkets and transport. So comfortable... especially sitting in front of the fireplace after a day of exploring all that Katoomba has to offer. We put on a movie from the DVD library but fell asleep as we succumbed to the warmth from the fireplace and the coziness of the couch!

Fabulous time at Green Gables

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this house. Very convenient to Katoomba, only 5 minutes walk up the hill. The home itself had everything we needed in the way of utensils and appliances. It was very warm and did not take long to heat up when we got in in the evening.

Loved our stay

We loved the 1930s style of living ...very cosy and quaint. the kitchen was beautifully stocked with cutlery,glasses of types and purposes.We also loved the immaculate condition of the kitchen and the spectacular stove. Thankyou for having sufficient kitchen cleaning products and powder for the washing machine. The bedrooms and beds were in great and comfortable condition. We loved the fireplace and heating on such a cold weekend. Thankyou for taking pride in your quaint home... it was certainly a step back in time for us.
