A guesthouse in Katoomba that has been taking in travellers since 1913, a short walk from the escarpment lookouts of the Blue Mountains. The house keeps its period character across eleven bedrooms, with room types ranging from private rooms to shared arrangements, and it can be booked whole for a group. It is owner-run and certified through Ecotourism Australia, and folds in extras such as local bag storage and tours, reflecting a proprietor closely involved in the town. The mood is quiet and slightly literary rather than resort-like, a place to return to after a day on the tracks. It suits walkers and weekenders who want heritage lodging in the centre of Katoomba, within reach of Echo Point and the wider mountains.
