A quaint, cozy cottage perfect for our small family of three. The most striking feature when entering the property is the gorgeous uninterrupted view of the valley. The cottage has a rustic appeal with its retro furnishings, comfortable living area, and thoughtful provisions such as a Nespresso coffee machine, cooking essentials, and generous provision of pillows and towels. Bedrooms - the queen bed is SO comfortable with lovely soft bedding and sheets. Double bed in the other bedroom was much firmer and I didn't find it comfortable to sleep on. The bedrooms have no heating, but electric blankets are provided. We stayed in April so it didn't get too cold, however, I imagine it would be cold in the bedrooms if staying in the Winter, and this could be accommodated with the provision of oil heaters. We loved the colourful front and backyard gardens which were a joy to explore, and enjoyed having a drink on the front verandah overlooking the gardens. The cottage could do with some cosmetic upgrades, in particular fixing the bathroom door, replacing rusty fittings in the bathroom,and a rubber strip at the base of the shower door to prevent water soaking the bathroom floor. The living area needs a floor lamp to create ambient lighting at night instead of having bright lights overhead. The host Kristen was very reliable. She provided detailed and helpful information prior to check-in, and kindly accommodated us with an earlier check-in time. We loved our stay at Aurora Cottage.

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.

Really enjoyed our stay at Aurora Cottage and in the Blue Mountains in general. Kristen was very helpful in explaining the check in process and kindly accommodated us with an earlier check in option. The cottage has everything you need, including a fully equipped kitchen with some lovely extras. It is small and nothing is "new" but for us staying with younger children that made it comfortable and it was great to see some games and books there. The bathroom has seen better days but was fine for what we needed. The heating works really well in the cottage and the shower was strong and the water was hot. The view from the living room and kitchen is magnificent. We even saw a wallaby outside :) and I loved the back garden.
It's five minutes drive to the centre of Katoomba and even closer to Scenic World so very convenient if you are driving. It's fairly tight parking for a 4WD (just getting in the gate) but doable. Thanks Kristen, we had a good stay.

Lovely stay, Quiet and close to all things we wanted to do and see. Towels could have been larger and softer.

We were welcomed by a charming spring garden, with lovely valley views to wake up to each morning, and beautiful sunsets to enjoy in the evening. The house was comfortable, warm, and met our needs. We had a very enjoyable stay, and would be happy to go back.
An internal laundry would have been nice- no mention was made of it being in the garage. Rain proof access to it would be helpful.
Suggestion- The kitchen frypans need replacing.

Perfect for a family weekend away! The view from the living room is stunning, warmed by the afternoon sun and the gas heater by night.

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.

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

Great to be close to Katoomba CBD but away from the hustle. Comfy cottage on the edge of the bush. Thanks for having us.
4.0 / 5.0
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.

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.

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this house. Comfy beds, hot showers and an amazing view. Also close to town facilities. Would stay again!

Our relaxing stay in close proximity to Katoomba with spectacular views was everything we'd hoped for and more! This cosy house was toasty warm, super clean and had lovely welcoming touches like a Nespresso machine. It was a perfect base to explore the many delights nearby - we hope to visit again...

Very well equipped kitchen. Pot belly fire warmed the whole place in about 10 mins. It is smaller than appears in pictures and I wish people wouldn't use a wide angle lens to give the appearance of more space. Was no problem for us a only two of us. but i think the very small room near the kitchen is really only suitable for a child. Beautiful views from the lounge (though the telescope was a bit useless), and comfy and spacious sofa. Bed very comfortable with quality linen. However I would not describe the towels as luxurious. They were only basic standard and bath size would have been nicer. The only other thing i could suggest to add to this property apart from better quality towels, would be some hot chocolate sachets - the hills screams out for hot chocolate by the fire. And maybe a couple of lamps for more ambient lighting rather than the overhead ones. But overall we really enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to reccomend it.

Just came back from spending the weekend at this property - it's a alot smaller than we thought. We had three adults and one teenager in our group and really you wouldn't want any more than four people staying due to the size of the living area and the very small kitchen. The third bedroom is very very small and would only suit a small child due to the size of it and for this reason we didn't use it. When we arrived in the afternoon around 4pm and tried the light the gas heating we couldn't get it start so after much googling and reading of manuals we had to contact the owner, who did arrange for someone to come and have a look at it but couldn't fix it and we were expecting temperatures of -6 over night. We had already lite the open fire to try and warm the place up but really unless you were standing on top of it it really gave out no heat at all. So it was a night of beanies blankets and gloves to try and stay warm and there is no heating at all in the bedrooms. Thank goodness that there was electric blankets on the beds, but one of them wasn't working and we had to switch them over so that everyone in our group had an electric blanket on their bed. Look to be honest we had a few issues whilst staying there and it's to be expected with such an old property which I have advised the owner of already and they did have the gas heating fixed for us on the Saturday so that we didn't have to freeze thru our second night stay.

A good place to stay away from the centre of town. The washing machine cycle appeared to stop at Deep Rinse and needed manual addition of water, a bit of a problem when doing several days washing for 5.

Cute campy type of place but it never warmed up at night...very cold in the bedrooms and bathroom.

Comfy little cottage, though very hard to find if arriving after dark: no clear house number and no streetlights (no security light on the porch either, we had to use our phones to find the key safe!) The house was really cold when we arrived but the gas fire was lovely once it got going. Thanks for the fairy lights and champagne, but we also would have loved some coffee (desperately!) and some dishwasher tablets. Great view and the snowdrops and daffodils in the charming garden were really cheering.

Our stay was very relaxing. The cottage had everything we needed and being away from the hussel and bussel made it quiet and peaceful.

We stayed at this property in August. This was our first time booking accommodation thru Stayz and we were not disappointed . The place was like in photos,very clean and comfortable . We loved the window wall overlooking mountains. It was very quiet and pretty even though it was on outskirts of Katoomba. We felt like we were out there in the centre of mountains. Gardens are pretty and well maintained. The owners were very good and accommodating. Answered all our emails promptly. Would stay here again and would recommend it to our friends.

Aurora Cottage was ideally suited for our first visit to The Blue Mountains. I looked at many cottages before choosing Aurora and was not disappointed. The facilities, the views, the location, couldn't have been better. The owners were very easy to communicate with and were very helpful with their advice on the area. The welcome bottle of wine in the fridge was a lovely touch and made us feel very welcome.
The cottage is full of character and very well equipped with everything you need.
We loved watching the stunning sunset and the friendly cockatoos and blue parrots in the garden. Katoomba is very close for shopping and eating out and Scenic World is just a few minutes drive away.
All in all a fantastic stay and we would not hesitate to recommend Aurora Cottage, just wish we had planned to stay longer.
