Katura is a much loved c1908 Blue Mountains cottage, on the border of (& walking distance to the towns & train stations of) Katoomba & Leura. She has all the charm of a period home, (including original leadlight windows, high ceilings, a claw foot bath, wood floors & fire places) with the bonus of modern additions like a 6 person outdoor spa & pool table. There is also off street parking for 4 cars, a great local taxi service, and Uber. SO MUCH to do, see & enjoy in Katoomba, Leura & surrounds!!

Please ensure all guests have read & agreed to the rules prior to booking.
The guest limit and price is not negotiable.

Please note the walk to either town is an uphill one. There is also free parking available at both Leura & Katoomba. We provide details of the local taxi & maxi-taxi service in the onsite guest book. Hertz car hire Katoomba is also a 1 minute flat walk from the home if you don't have a car & wish to travel further afield. There is also a public bus stop a few houses up, and Uber services the area.

We provide the essentials like: linen, towels (for bathroom & spa), shampoo / conditioner / body wash / soap / moisturiser, hair dryers, hangers, iron, laundry detergent (if you want to make use of the washing machine), tea / coffee / sugar / milk, cling wrap / foil / cooking oil / olive oil / balsamic vinegar / spices / salt & pepper, firewood, toilet paper, and a smart TV with complimentary Netflix.

Great place for weekend with family
We loved staying at Katura Cottage - a traditional rustic home. Ideal for our family with teenagers. Hot spa was a great way to relax after long hikes in the mountains followed by log fire and a bit of pool. Beds were very comfortable and had a well-equipped kitchen. Would definitely return and recommend to others. Thank-you Fiona.

Dream Mountain Getaway!
Katura is a lovely house in Katoomba. It has great amenities, is kept very clean and tidy, and is ideal in its proximity to both Katoomba town centre and Leura. Fi is a great host. She’s attentive, communicates well and did all she could to ensure we had a great holiday. And we absolutely did. I cannot recommend enough Katura and Fi as a host!

Amazing!
This property was perfect for our family. The location was in the middle between Leura and Katoomba was perfect. Our host was amazing! We are definitely coming back when a bit warmer to be able to enjoy the spa! Thank you for opening your beautiful home to people.
