Description

Overlooking magnificent Mt Solitary and centrally located between Katoomba & Leura on the corner of the Cliff Drive and Merriwa St., this grand home has been lovingly and tastefully restored, maintaining the best of the original features whilst integrating the most modern conveniences.
Established now for 2 years, our guest book speaks for itself.
Featuring a new country style kitchen and two new federation style bathrooms, one with a claw foot bath, Solitary Retreat has been returned to a time when a weekend in the mountains was a stylish and considered experience. Characterized by its living room with original cedar panelling, polished boards, Persian carpets and open fire, Solitary Retreat is a snapshot of life in the 1920's. Immerse yourself in the ambience and delightful charm that this elegant home and its beautiful furniture creates.

Features

And then there is the view.Solitary Retreat is blessed with one of the very few genuine uninterrupted escarpment views on the Cliff Drive. Enjoy Mt Solitary and the Jamison Valley with your morning "cuppa" from bed. When you have finished savoring the view, stroll across the road to the Prince Henry Cliff Walk and take a leisurely 10-15 min walk through the World Heritage listed national park to the Three Sisters and Echo Point or go the other way to Leura Falls and enjoy some of the best views the mountains have to offer. We are only a couple of minutes drive from several golf courses, walking distance to galleries and the tourist bus stops right out front. We are uniquely located between two of Katoombas finest restaurants. The Rooster French restaurant is right next door (try the duck) whilst Solitary Restaurant and Kiosk is on the other side about 100 metres away. No need to drive. These two venues boast views to astound and cuisine to excite.

Guest Reviews

 
  • "Fabulous experience. We made a very late booking with two grandsons, 9 & 6, a first in staying in a house (usually motel or caravan). It felt as if I was visiting my grandparents homes again, and therefore about 30 years younger. The absolute surprise was the reaction of the boys; absolute wonderment with excited, 'look at this Nana....'. We all loved 'our home' away from home. "

  • "Had a great time. House is lovely inside."

  • "Hello, we come from Singapore and were very enchanted with the place and how it was all presented. We felt like we went in a time warp and walked into 1930. Thank you for preserving the place and please dont change a thing! The location is also fabulous with great views from the bedroom and varandah. The kitchen was also complete as we'd have liked it. Definitely enjoyed my stay and will recommend to friends. "

  • "We had such a lovely stay at solitary retreat. What a gorgeous home and what a spectacular view. After sightseeing in Sydney all week it was the perfect weekend relaxing and hiking through the blue mountains. I loved the little touches, the antiques etc. Walking distance to town and cafes it is the perfect family venue!"

  • "You have a lovely cottage in a great position near some interesting resturtants, but if you feel like staying in the kitchen has all you need. We had a wonderful stay & will be back in the near future."

  • "Solitary Retreat was just gorgeous. All lovely antiques and crisp white quilts. Think marshmallows roasted over the open fire, bushwalks right across the road, sipping hot chocolate in the cafe just down the road while the snow falls outside or lazing in bed enjoying the spectacular views of the valley. Not to mention the claw foot bath! Fantastic!"
