Great location

Location for this property was great, right in the middle of Katoomba. The listing did not meet our expectations based on the photos and description. It needed a good clean and dust. Heating was not sufficient for winter, particularly the bathroom and kids bedroom due to the draft from outside. We spent our days exploring the blue mountains and had a lovely weekend otherwise.

Cozy!

We were here for a conference so unfortunately we weren't able to use the house as much as we would have liked. However, the house is located perfectly to both the conference centre and the town centre, which made it incredibly convenient for us. Although there were 5 of us (all adults), we still fit comfortably in the house. Thank you Lisa for hosting us!

A great stay

We had a fantastic stay, the property was just right for our group. We were staying with a group of teenagers but it would have also been perfect for younger kids with a great playroom. We loved having the fire on our first night, and there was plenty of room for the rest of our travelling companions to join us for dinner. Many thanks for a great stay.

Great little cottage in Katoomba

We had a lovely stay over the Kings birthday long weekend. The house was beautlifully clean and check in easy. The house is stocked with everything you need for your stay including kids toys and movies, a playstation machine and a well stocked kitchen. We loved the fire - thank you for the logs to get us going on our first night. Great location, a short walk to the Katoomba shops an Scenic World.

A quiet, convenient and relaxing house.

Hi Lisa Thank you for allowing us to stay at your house over the weekend. As mentioned by previous visitors it was well equipped for my kids which allowed my wife and I to relax by the fire while they played. Plenty of toys for the little one and for the big kids the PS3 was a win. We were able to easily walk to the town centre for morning coffee and also walk down to Scenic World. Highly recommend Cahills lookout which is a 5 minute drive away especially at sunset. Resourceful, thought out and conveniently located we will be returning again. Thank you Explorers cottage for hosting us.

Well equiped house in great location

The house was in a great location, very close to the shops and major nearby attractions (Scenic World, 3 Sisters, Katoomba Falls Illuminated walk, etc). The house was very well stocked, with plenty of toys and books to keep younger kids entertained.

We had a lovely stay this weekend. The house is clean, great for children.

The house is located close to shops and beautiful walks. It's full of useful things for kids - toys, high chairs etc. Our kids had a fantastic time. Lisa was helpful throughout the whole process. We would definitely stay here again.
