Ya-El said: What a stunning little cottage! We had a lovely stay there. Check in was easy, check out was no drama, nothing excessive to do (take your rubbish, leave benches clear, all reasonable stuff). The place was lovingly furnished and clean, with plenty of heaters to keep us warm on the cold nights. I would absolutely recommend staying to anyone looking for somewhere beautiful in Katoomba. The block is just beautiful, and the house was a delight. Thanks so much for having us!

Halli wrote: We really enjoyed our stay at Carinya. It was the perfect winter getaway. The fireplace was certainly a highlight and the house had a lovely feel. I would recommend for time away in the blue mountains. Great location just a 10 minute walk to the Main Street/station. We loved the fireplace and gas heating.

Chet wrote: A terrific location to Katoomba town, this cottage was warm, welcoming and had all the touches of home. Our young family were unplugged all weekend and didnt touch the T V but sat around the cosy fire. Comfortable bedrooms, kitchen had all amenities and more. The historical style made our stay more special as we took in all Katoomba had to offer.

Grace wrote Great cozy stay. Perfect location for Katoomba and Leura - minutes drive from everything. Gorgeous back sun room facing the expansive backyard under the giant pine trees. Perfect for reading and taking in the natural surrounds!

Jignesh wrote : Cutest cottage, felt like it was out of a movie or book. Very spacious and comes fully equip. We worked from the cottage so appreciated the reliable N.B.N. provided. Fully stocked home which was extremely clean and tidy. Excellent communication and very easy to access. Our absolute favorite was the addition of the chrome cast installed. We usually travel with our laptop and H.D.M.I. cable, but we did not need this due to the lovely setup with easy-to-follow instructions. Another favorite was having a hot spacious shower after a long day of hiking. Small things like a shower, easy use kettle and heating made the stay feel like home. Close to the town centre and a Caltex across the road for a cheeky late-night snack. thanks

Nu wrote: Beautiful old cottage, lovely views, and an incredible indoor fireplace. We couldn’t have asked for more. Highly recommend it.

As cold as ice
The cottage is lovely, however we arrived on a particularly cold day and during the night the bedrooms were like walking into a fridge. The 2 beds has electric blankets, but there were no portable heaters, so the air temperature in the bedrooms and kitchen was extremely cold. On contacting the managing agent I was informed that had I lit the fire the rooms would have been warmer. I had to argue for 2 portable heaters to be brought to the house, which eventually she agreed to do. These helped the following night. I have asked for a refund for our first night as none of us slept in the frigid conditions, and this seems reasonable as , although the house is lovely, it is not built for a Katoomba winter, with several rooms having no doors, so that the cold air spreads throughout the house, and no carpets, so the floorboards are like ice, unfortunately so far I have not received any feedback about a refund so far. We are regular visitors to katoomba in the winter and have stayed at many different short term rentals for short holidays, so we are used to the conditions, but this house needs some serious updates to make it a comfortable stay, and given the cost for a 2 day stay, I expected better. I would like to finish on a positive note; when we arrived quite late in the day, the lamps inside were lit and the electric heater in the lounge room was on, this made it very pleasant to walk into and created a good first impression.

Cosy Hideaway
A lovely cosy cottage (with good gas heating) for the two nights we were there. The kitchen was well equipped and the bedrooms spacious. Unfortunately we can't report on the backyard, it was too wet outside for us to enjoy it on our stay. Would definitely consider a return visit.
