Amenities: a bar fridge, microwave, toaster and kettle. Limited cutlery. Tea, coffee and milk are provided. Complementary WiFi

“Peaceful and pretty”

Jilea was lovely and the place was so beautiful. I was there for a creative escape - to get some writing done - and it was perfect for that (1st draft done!)

“A beautiful boho treasure in the centre of Katoomba. My daughter and I stayed here for a girl’s weekend and lived everyt”

Beautiful boho decor and homely feel. Excellent location close to 3 Sisters.

“Classic blue mountains accommodation. Full of charm and quirk decorations.”

Excellent location

“Too short”

Individual, intimate, ever fascinating. Walking distance from restaurants and shops. Easy parking.

“Beautiful space, warm hospitality and great location.”

Everything! Comfortable, inviting and creatively decorated to feel like our very own pied a terre. Our host, Jilea communicated perfectly, kept us warm and welcomed. Her common sense policies meant we enjoyed our stay and felt comfortable knowing we’d be warm and cosy when needed. While very close to town, the apartment is quiet overnight and during the day, public transport is easy to access and parking was simple.

I loved the decor. Charming little place for a weekend getaway

“I would be hard pushed to recommend this place as I dreaded going back to it in the evening”

It had a quirky charm

“Uncomfortable stay.”

Location close to viewing sites and the town center.

“Blue Mountains Charm”

Our host went the extra mile to welcome my wife and I on arrival. She took the time to explain everything we needed to know and even shared some local knowledge on good spots for dining out and coffee. The unit was comfy, clean and we loved how the place was decorated. The bedroom and bathroom were huge. We loved our short stay and highly recommend this place for couples looking for something very different compared to normal hotel rooms. Close to shops and dining in Katoomba and close to Echo Point.

Smelt like wet dog, gross. filthy. Owner demanded cvc and credit card numbers 48 hours before our stay. Left after having asthma, allergies, weird bites and hives. Matress on bed was literally 50yrs old and smelt very bad. Owner lives behind single glass fronted door to your area.- no privacy.

“Very enjoyable stay in a beautiful quirky place with a very hospitable hostess.”

Breakfast not included. Location excellent- within walking distance of both the 3 Sisters and town centre, and also had a bus stop nearby. Jilea was a fantastic host. Friendly and very helpful. Full of excellent advice and local knowledge. Even helped us out with transport for difficult to access locations (we didn’t have a car). Property full of wonderful quirky things. Very much shabby chic. Jilea obviously puts a lot of time and effort into acquiring beautiful things for her property - such a lovely contrast to some of the characterless corporate places we have stayed in. Her dog Hattie is not allowed in the guest areas, however she was very sweet natured, and we loved meeting her. Jilea understandably asks for a deposit in advance, to be paid via payment ID. This is not something we have in the UK, and it caused us a bit of anxiety to try to figure it out. Jilea was very understanding about this, and helped us work something out. Overall the property was very much as described, but Jilea herself was an absolute plus, and made our stay so much more enjoyable. Thank you Jilea - such a pleasure to get to know you.

“Beautiful place to stay - wonderful location, sumptuously decorated and very comfortable.”

“Very pleasant”

“Lovely break from the city life.”

Besides the rustic beauty of the place and central to most of the tourist attractions, Jilea welcomed my wife & I with a lovely smile & very lively character. Very lovely lady! We surely recommend the place to everyone who wish to have a break from the city life. Thanks Jilea for the delicious macademia cheesecake too. We hope to see you again!

Our stay was so cozy and enjoyable, the apartment was so beautiful and the host so easy to reach and kind :)

“Basic but with character”

Great central position

“Lovely place - heritage home with lovely decor”

Lovely space - unique details and great vibe

Very well located property walking distance to all Katoomba attractions. Chinoiserie was nice and clean with a comfortable bed. Jilea as host made us very comfortable and her list of Blue Mountain attractions was great - it encouraged us to try a beautiful walk we’d never done before!
