I thought the cottage was really well set up and we appreciated all the little niceties that are not normally supplied, such as good tea bags and coffee, scented bags in the drawers, plenty of hangers in the cupboards, a decent cake of soap and plenty of toilet rolls. The kitchen was well supplied with nice glasses and fine china mugs that were good to drink tea from [thick china is no good!] I also noticed the availability of a pepper mill with black pepper, various other condiments, a medical kit etc – not required on our brief stay but appreciated none the less. It was also good having towel rails/airers in the both bedrooms.

The other thing we liked was having a stereo system available – I get so fed up when all that is supplied is a T V. I love my music and of course being at a music festival, we bought CDs, and it was great to be able to play them. Thanks again, Sandra

Just wanted to let you know that we had an absolutely amazing time in the mountains for the winter magic festival and Keira Cottage was the perfect base for us, with an easy walk to Katoomba. We loved every minute and had no problems whatsoever with the house. If I haven't already moved to the beloved mountains by the same time next year, I will definitely be booking the cottage again.
Thanks so much for making our stay so enjoyable. Regards, Michelle

What a perfect cozy cottage, beautiful views, warm, secure, lovely linen and quaint features! Perfectly located between Katoomba and Leura. Thank you for a lovely stay. Kind Regards, Athena

Hi Geoff, Thanks for email. We had a really good time in Keira Cottage. We had trouble parking (We have a giant Nissan Patrol) but that did not spoil anything. The cottage was beautiful - clean and cosy! We did lots of hikes and walks but intend to come back to the area for more hiking. I was going to write something very positive about Keira Cottage in the visitor book but was so busy packing that I forgot to do so. It really was a lovely place to stay and we will come back. Regards, Maria

Dear Geoff, we had a very good time at your cottage and in Katoomba. If ever I get a chance to return to Australia (I am from Germany, looong way), I will remember stopping over at Keira cottage. The charm of the place is overwhelming. And in addition to that we had great fun hiking the national pass and visiting the Ukulele festival. Kind regards, Anke

Charming Blue Mountains retreat

Charming cottage in Katoomba, close to amenities and walks. Very cosy. Entrance to house was complicated by pelting rain on our arrival so was a bit frustrating. It would have been good to know beforehand that the gate is electric and you need to get keys from key safe before trying to park. However, we managed to battle the weather, unload our bags and settle in for a rainy night with the gas fire on and wind howling outside.

Cute cottage in a nice location

We enjoyed our stay here but didn’t realise that there was no wifi however we were able to hotspot from phone data. The layout of lounge and kitchen should be reversed as it was difficult to see the tv screen from the lounge. Backyard was full of weeds but the walks and town was absolutely beautiful. Although I twice requested a receipt, the manager returned my request with an autogenerated email but no receipt with the cost itemised and claimed it wasn’t his responsibility. He was very abrupt on the phone also.

Good location, no parking for large car. Small car only. They do not supply enough fire wood

Kitchen equipment needs a review and update. Supply enough fire wood for the couple of nights minimum would be ideal. Bath room requires ventfan.

Great Little Cottage

This cottage was fabulous for a quick trip to the mountains to visit the scenic railway and surrounds for a few days. Easy to get into the main street of Katoomba. Very close to Leaura which we ended up eating out at a few times. We were a bit caught out by the cool weather in January but the gas heater, fireplace and electric blankets on the beds kept up comfortable.

Warm, cosy feeling to the place, perfect for the blue mountains. Loved the beds, fireplace and heater. The art was lovely too. Easy drive to Katoomba and Leura.
