Affordable, quiet, with all you need, great location and beautiful setting.
The hosts were great with communication, everything in the house was perfect for our needs, close to shops,walks,lookouts, and the backyard has a lot of visiting birds. Which I also love.
View was simply awesome, location was great. Property was compact, clean and tidy. It made for a truly enjoyable stay, would happily come again in the future
Wow. What a view!!! Absolutely breathtaking. Description of house is 100% accurate
We were there is Aussie winter and none of the houses have central heating so it is absolutely no criticism of the house. You just need to be aware. They provide electric blankets (thank you!!) and a space heater but it is hard to heat the whole house. View and sunset simply gorgeous Thank you!!
Great comfy place ideally located for some of Blue Mountains main attractions.
The cottage has a great view over the mountains. Nice comfy sofa and beds.

The property was clean comfortable well heated and everything we needed was supplied. The views were beautiful and the owners very easy to deal with. Enjoyed our stay . Very relaxing
My friend and I really enjoyed our stay at this property- it was exactly as advertised. The gas fire and electric blankets kept us nice and warm over the cold nights. The view out over the valley was spectacular.
The view was as good as the photos suggest. Beautiful sunsets and watching the sun reveal the valley in the morning. Well provisioned house, we found everything we needed. Thank you!
this cottage is small, but it has everything in there you need for a short (or may be even longer) stay.
Unforgettable view, very clean and warm in Winter.
Close to Everything in Katoomba- restaurants, shops, attractions and tracks.
Definitely will come again

Amazing !
Aurora cottage was amazing! Our stay was great they provided us with everything we needed, the house was very clean, views were amazing, we all felt very comfortable there !!! Location was awsome aswell!! I would definantly advise to book here i had a great experience :)
We reslly enjoyed our stay and my guests were impressed by the views, thoughtful touches around the place and the cute gardens.
It's all you can ask for in a place. It matched the location and the mood and the atmosphere we were after. Spot on.
First trip (short) to experience the Blue Mountains. The cottage was perfect, location, peacefulness, equipment, but the weather was not on our side unfortunately.... Full day rain !
We will come back, different season, and we will rebook the house without any problem.
Perfect little cottage for our family of 5. Location requires a car to get to most places, but there is a bus stop close by. The views are beautiful and the bird life abundant, which made staying in when one of my little ones were unwell not so bad! We were going to have an extra 2 adults stay with us, but that didn't work out, and I think it would have been very cosy if they had, particularly with one bathroom, but worked well for our 5! Our host Kristen was responsive to texts when needing extra linen. We wish we could have stayed longer. Great value.
Good location close to everything in the city via car, nice property in the type of a cottage with some limited updates, the kitchen is rather dated and would benefit from more insulation and windows as spiders and ants were coming in from outside due to the cold season and a direct access to the garage to use the washer and dryer would be a great upgrade, but this is rather alinged with an older cottage. The bathroom shower needs a good scrub to remove some of the discoloration on the silicone rubber. Good communication with the owner and the check-in and out was very easy and convenient.
