Pleasant stay in a convenient location.

Steve and Sharon are very communicative hosts and took the trouble to ensure we had everything in order during our stay. Accomodation is clean, comfortable, and cosy. We are happy to recommend this place for families with young children.

Cozy Mountain Stay

We loved our time here. Short walk to the Main Street. A good base if you’re in to hiking and seeing the surrounding areas. The cottage was perfect for us and our little pup. We had everything we needed, everything well taken care of and a lovely spot to relax after a day of exploring.

Perfect Getaway: Ideal Location, Charming House, and Convenient Amenities!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this Vrbo property! The location was ideal, close to major attractions in Katoomba and convenient for shopping. Across the street, there was even a swimming pool for a refreshing dip. The house was well-maintained and had everything one could need. Highly recommend!

Quiet corner

We were looking for a quiet place for Summer School and this worked out well. Once it stopped raining we could use the deck and go for even more walks.

A nice cottage in a hilly street. Perhaps too far for a quick walk into main street but a short drive. Very clean and tidy, very comfortable main bed and warm fire place. Good amenities and towels/linen. Supplied nice coffee pods too amd aome tea. We had a great stay. Only down fall to note, which is not hosts fault, is the road has a very big dip at driveway and is hard to navigate in a small vehicle. A SUV can easily do but small cars may hit under neath of car as we did. Just exercise caution and should be okay. Thanks Steve and Sharon

A wonderful home away from home with all the extras. A big thumbs up from the whole family!

We had such a wonderful stay! The cottage had everything we needed for our winter stay, plus so much more! The kids loved the electric blankets, the fireplace and NETFLIX! The location was perfect too. In walking distance to the main strip, but a nice quiet street. We enjoyed many of the beautiful walking tracks in the area too. Thank you so much Stephen, the kids are already asking to go back!

Having never been to the Blue Mountains, my partner wanted to experience the area. The property was in a good location and Stephen was a great communicator. Bed was comfy. It was compact in design but had all that we required

Second visit - will definitely be back!

Just returned from our second visit, we have now stayed in both the front and back cottages. This was our first Winter visit and I am happy to report that even on the "coldest morning for 10 years", we were nice and snug. On both occasions we have found the accommodation clean, very presentable and well appointed and were extremley happy. Coupled with the great location and value for money, Careel Cottages was a great find and Steve the Owner was very helpful to deal with - we will certainly be back for a 3rd visit!
