I have been a Blue Mountains local on and off for over 30 years. I am more than happy to help out in any way possible before and throughout your stay - local knowledge is priceless and I love to pass it on to others.
I currently live in Sydney and am accessible 24/7 via phone, text and email.

Summary: We loved our stay. It was private with a lovely backyard. The attention to keeping the “vintage” look but having all the modern appliances was the best. Our hostess checked in to make sure all was ok and even supplied robes and slippers! There was nothing missing that we could have needed. This was our 1st time to Australia and we so enjoyed the Blue Mtns…everything was close. Thank you for the wonderful Stay.

Summary: Gowan Brae is a beautifully appointed cottage, close to all the amenities of Katoomba, but in a quiet street leading to the aquatic centre. The central heating is fast and efficient, and the open wood fire a winter bonus! A lovely bottle of champagne on arrival was much appreciated. We enjoyed a most welcome, relaxing, weekend!

Summary: Great clean cottage, everything you need. Just a couple of things that need looking at. Working lights on the outside path. A mirror that has ample lighting for make up application. Fire wood for the log fire for all year round, it was raining and quiet cold when we stayed, would have loved to put the fire place on. Also the bathroom needs more ventilation.( not a simple fix).

Summary: We could not have been welcomed more warmly from the beautifully decorated cottage, personal contact call on arrival, to the bubbles and chocolate. However, despite the gorgeous bed linen and pillows, the bed was the beyond firm and we didn’t sleep well for 3 nights. Despite this we adored our stay and loved listening to the rain on the roof. Gowan Brae is a real haven and a wonderful base for exploring the Blue Mountains.
