Beautiful getaway
What a beautiful home. The beds were amazing. We all slept so well. Explored the mountains with some friends and retired to such a comfy home, filled with antiques and memories of the past. Set in a great location, an easy walk into town, a very romantic double shower, the kitchen was remarkable, this house was so warm and comfortable, so many teas to choose from, and Tim tams in the kitchen was an oh so lovely touch. Thank you Michael for allowing us to visit your beautiful property, looking to return again in the future.

This House Made our Holiday!!!
We have been holidaying around Australia for many years. This is by far the best home we have experienced. Just so homely and so very comfortable. Michael is such a generous host and so helpful. The location is so peaceful and walking distance to town centre and eateries. Will definitely love to return to Burnie Brae again one day. Thanks a million Michael.

One of the best stays we have stayed at
Our stay at Burnie Brae was one of our best experiences we have experienced. The place was immaculate, warm, comfortable, all amenities easy to use making our experience hassel free and enjoyable. Upon leaving we noticed we had a flat tyre. It was cold, raining and miserable. We called the owner asking if we could go back into the property for warmth whilst waiting for NRMA. He was so hospitable, allowing us to re enter and keep warm for as long as we needed. We highly recommend this place. It was awesome. We will definitely go back. Organising our next stay there. Thank you!

Amazing
What a stunning property easy access, stunning grounds, so peaceful and quiet, close to the shops, clean neat and tidy. A central Place to stay. The gardens are beautiful. The kitchen is as perfect as the pictures beautiful to cook in too. There is anything you really need to pack other than a quick stop at the shop for food. We cooked all our meals and prepped our lunches, daily cheese platters, wine and chocolate it was amazing thank you

A gorgeous house in a prime location
We feel quite privileged to have been able to stay in such a beautiful Federation house, complete with period decor and furnishings. The bathroom is fabulous. The kitchen is huge and has a very usable gas cook top plus oven. The bedrooms divine with very comfortable beds. The lounge is luxurious. The formal dining room exquisite (although we didn't use it but ate in the kitchen). Beautiful, well kept and interesting gardens. An easy walk from the house through to the main street. WiFi very strong.

Absolutely gorgeous!
It was a pleasure to stay at Burnie Brae. It was even more beautiful than the photos, inside and out. It was clean and comfortable, and in a convenient and quiet location. Michael was helpful and communicative. I would certainly recommend it and hope to stay again next time we go to the mountains.

Not our first stay here . Burnie brae is truly the perfect location, it’s a very short walk to bars ,supermarket and restaurants and an evening cocktail at the Carrington . The property is lovely and very comfortable. For being so close to town , it is super quiet. We will definitely be back again

Home away from home
Loved everything about this home, decorated so beautifully. Katoomba centre and Dan Murphy’s are within walking distance, as are Restaurants, Cafes, Big W, Woolworths, and Aldi are also close by. If you’re planning on purchasing a lot of groceries, it maybe best to take your car. I particularly liked that this home is in a very quiet neighbourhood, have not slept this well in a long time. Would have no hesitation in recommending Burnie Brae, if we are lucky enough to return one day, we would definitely stay again.

Mountains gem
We were pleasantly surprised with the space and accommodation….just the vibe we were looking for. The heating worked very well and not too far a walk into town. We were a little disappointed that there were no pantry items in the cupboard but this did not ruin our lovely stay. Thank you Michael!

Lovely old property, beautifully restored. Quiet street. We were very comfortable. Draw string for the curtains in one of the bedrooms was broken which made opening/closing the curtains in that room difficult. We would stay there again without any hesitation..
