About this property

Grevillea Cottage - Family and Group Getaways

Sunny and spacious classic Blue Mountains cottage. Filled with light and sun, Grevillea is a beautiful 5 bedroom Federation home, blending traditional character with modern living. Conveniently situated in a premier location, in a quiet cul-de-sac; come and enjoy all the very best the majestic Blue Mountains has to offer. Grevillea is only moments away by foot from excellent cafes, restaurants, the aquatic centre, native bushland access, nature-walks and spectacular mountain lookouts.

Perfectly suited to families and large groups, this spacious, well designed home offers comfortable accommodation for 10-12 people. Cool in summer and warm (centrally heated) in winter, this is a house for all seasons. You will be delighted with the large bedrooms, high ceilings, period details and polished kauri timber floors. Take full advantage of the well equipped kitchen and enjoy dinner on the grand dining table. Relax in the open planned living area or enjoy the outdoors on either the sheltered front veranda or the rear sunny deck, overlooking the garden with its abundant birdlife. You will love Grevillea.

The surrounds - both spectacular nature and rich cultural life

Grevillea is only moments away from excellent cafes, restaurants and shops to the east, the aquatic centre to the north, native bushland access to the west and spectacular mountain lookouts to the south. It is both close to town as well as the Blue Mountains National Park. The house is located near the end of the cul-de-sac, from where you have access to native bushland with the start of a nature-walk leading to Scenic World, Katoomba Falls and on to the Three Sisters. At Scenic World take the cable car and view Katoomba Falls from high up, or take the scenic railroad down to the floor of the rainforest to see tall gums and other ancient trees. Take the Cliff Walk with its spectacular lookouts and gaze towards the Three Sisters, Mount Solitary, the Ruined Castle, Orphan Rock and Narrowneck, all of which are accessible on bushwalks. At the end of our street, a very quiet cul de sac, is The Gully, the largest Aboriginal Place in NSW. You will find that there are so many activities to choose from and all within reasonable walking distance to the house.

The cottage was large, warm and well located. The bedrooms were lovely and large, with beautiful old features which makes a quintessential mountains house for us, kitchen well equipped and a lovely suntrapped veranda at the back. Will definitely be back. Thankyou

Perfect with Friends
We enjoyed our stay. There was 6 of us and there was lots of room. Beds were comfortable and everything was very clean. It’s a great location, we could easily walk to all our favourite restaurants and Woolworths is only a 2min walk too (up a hill). The host was easy to deal with and answered our questions fast. Can recommend this house.

Sensational Stay
We were attending a conference at KCC as a group. The house was perfectly situated to be near the conference and town with all the shops and cafes. We had a slight issue with the toilet and Con was a superstar and got if fixed for us by the time we came back for dinner. The house was lovely and cozy too.

Loved it!
We had a big group (filled the house) and loved it! There was enough room for everyone and the house was warm!! the doonas were incredible so even though it was a cold June weekend we were all toasty warm! The kitchen had everything we needed to make a dinner for 12 and we were so close to town that we could walk in easily to shop, eat (OMG the bakeries) and experience all that Katoomba has to offer! We would definitely book this property again next time we go up to Katoomba.

About the host

Hosted by Con Takis

Host profile image
We are a couple who bought the house as a weekender. We have had very busy lives and find that without exception, we unwind when we escape from our busy routines to our mountain home, going bushwalking, birdwatching, going to cafes and restaurants. We never regret visiting Grevillea Cottage and trust that you will love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Grevillea Cottage has real character and many memories as our guest books testify, when you scroll through the entries.

What makes this property unique

It's convenient location near the heart of Katoomba yet in a most quiet street close to bushland is always a pleasant surprise.

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
