Stepping back in time

Staying at The Gatsby was like stepping back in time to the 1920's. The furnishings were true to the era and we had everything we required. It was a very comfortable stay.

Perfect property for a close getaway

Everything about this property was fantastic. The location is so central to everything, the house is luxuriously decorated and spotlessly clean, there is a very well stocked kitchen making cooking a breeze ... and there is a spa!!! Everything is exactly as beautiful as it looks in the photos. Thanks to Lorraine for making everything so easy to arrange, we had a super relaxing and enjoyable time.

Cosy Katoomba Retreat

The Gatsby is in a very central location in Katoomba - close to the Centre of town as well as Echo Point and the Scenic Railway. The house is cosy - bedrooms are quite small and although there are two bathrooms, these are not en-suite bathrooms. There is a fabulous bath tub in one bathroom. Lorraine is a very generous host who has great attention to detail with lots of added extras to make the stay comfortable.
