Cozy little 2-bedroom cottage, located in Katoomba. We loved to warm up in front of the fireplace.

Thank you for having us, we had a great time in the Blue Mountains! The cottage was perfect for what we needed, spacious and comfortable. Steve ensured more linen was delivered as soon he realised we didn't have enough, quickly rectifying the situation. We loved relaxing by the fire in the living room!!

Lovely spot. Well located for all the Blue Mountains has to offer. Our only disappointment was that we didn't have more time to enjoy the home!
Clean, tidy & spotlessly clean. Everything was in working order.

Highly recommended.

Our family had a great time at Careel Cottages. The front cottage where we stayed was very comfortable and very clean. It was fairly cold at the time we visited, but the gas heater was a lovely addition to the cottage which warmed us up quickly. All the beds and furnishings were very comfortable and modern. The location of the cottage was very convenient being very close to Katoomba shops and Scenic world. I would highly recommend staying at the Careel Cottages and would love to go back again to this accommodation in the future.

Lovely and excellent value stay in Katoomba, which is so handy for blue mountains hikes, scenic world, etc. Electric blankets for all the beds for the cooler evenings were a great touch! We loved our stay here and wished we weren't on such a whistle stop tour so were only here one night.

To be honest it's the best place I stayed in blue mountains area.
Very peaceful and surrounded with greens. There's a natural walk right outside. It's also very close to Woolies and all the restaurants on main street. Around 15 minutes walk. It's a bit of a hill but you can easily park your car at the end of the road, then just 5 minutes flat walking, or park at Woolies if not busy.
Super clean inside with modern furniture. Has everything you ever needed except shampoo. But we like to bring our own so not an issue.
Will definitely book again if staying in blue mountains in the future.

Home is cosy and well-kept. Location is near a beautiful lake and The Gully. Short walk to amenities and short drive to many scenic lookouts and trails near the blue mountains. Highly recommended!
Derek Foo

We had a great time visiting the Blue Mountains and staying in Steve's property. It's in an ideal location meaning you can quickly drive to lots of the main sights or even walk. The property itself is perfect for two couples with great bedrooms, all the amenities you could need, and perfectly clean! We also found the price to be really reasonable for the blue mountains.
Thanks for the great stay :)

Spotlessly clean, nicely appointed, with off street parking and a great location. The heaters and fireplace kept the cottage cosy on the cold nights. Mattresses were very comfortable for a great night's sleep. Communication with the owners was seamless, allowing for effortless check-in. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again on our next visit to the Blue Mountains.
Allan
24 Oct 2023
We had a great stay at Careel cottages. We were in Katoomba on a canyoning trip and would happily stay again at the Careel cottages. The easy and comprehensive instructions made check in a breeze and the fireplaces in each cabin made for a warm and cozy stay. There are plenty of blankets, modern and updated furnishings and fittings and everything was extremely clean.
We could walk easily to mountain culture brewery for some post canyoning beers and the back cottage is WAY bigger than it looks in photos which meant we could all gather together in the back cottage comfortably despite being a group across both cottages.
Additional benefits are the outdoor clothesline where we could hang out wet gear and the nice outdoor settings which we didn't get to use because it was cold weather, but would be nice on a warmer day.
You will not be disappointed if you choose these cottages.

Our family of 3 stayed 2 nights at the Front Cottage recently and enjoyed our stay very much. The place is clean and nicely furnished, allowing us a comfortable break with everything we needed for homemade breakfast or meals. The instructions for check in and parking are clear and useful information such as nearby walks, recommended restaurants and things to do is also provided. An excellent place to stay in at Katoomba.

The house was fantastic! The gas fireplace was a winner and made the cold nights comfortable. Plenty of heating and spare blankets for the bedrooms. Heaps of included ammenities which were awesome! The house itself is nestled in the trees and super clean. Only a short drive to town and to plenty of the lookouts.
I would highly recommend Careel Cottages and look forward to coming back in the future.

Careel Cottage has been a wonderful place to stay during our visit to the Blue Mountains. The location is great - close to the town, Scenic World and the many walks in the Jamison Valley. There’s a great place for a walk called “The Gulley” literally across the road from the property.
The Cottage had everything we could have wanted for our stay. We appreciated the tea, coffee, milk and especially the chocolates! Great to have so many of the kitchen essentials provided too like cling film and tin foil. It was very clean, warm and comfortable- just perfect and somewhere I would highly recommend.

Stayed with a family of four which suited us nicely for a 2 night stay. Walk to town centre around 10 mins and a small park across the road for walks. A handy washer and dryer was available which was much appreciated after staying in Sydney beforehand. We were gifted with a restaurant voucher which we took advantage of for a date night and were throughly impressed with our meals. Incredibly enjoyed our stay and felt the location was excellent for visiting places of interests.

We had a lovely stay at the charming cottage. The place is spotless clean, convenient to get to the Katoomba shops in a quiet suburbia street opposite a lovely park to take my dog for walks. Steve was great in his communication and thoughtful in letting me know that the cottage was ready earlier than the 2 pm check in time. I will be back for another stay.

Lovely space, exactly as pictured! Steve was a gem, that was prompt with responses even letting us check in a bit earlier.
Catered for all seasons and uber convenient location, close to the town centre

This is the perfect base to explore the blue mountains, we enjoyed 3 nights in this beautiful space - very close distance to the Main Street and the house comes with all base amenities you could need. Looking forward to coming back!

Stayed a night for a trip with friends and we loved this place. It is in perfect location. Close to restaurants and cafes, groceries and all the popular hiking tracks and look outs. The house was lovely, decorated very nice and also very clean. There were all the amenities we needed including kitchen utensils and blankets.

A wonderful home away from home with all the extras. A big thumbs up from the whole family!
We had such a wonderful stay! Careel Cottage had everything we needed for our winter stay, plus so much more! The kids loved the electric blankets, the fireplace and NETFLIX! The location was perfect too. In walking distance to the main strip, but a nice quiet street. We enjoyed many of the beautiful walking tracks in the area too. Thank you so much Stephen, the kids are already asking to go back!

Steve was very easy to communicate with. Very prompt with his answers and gave a lot of details about check in and the area. He recommended a $7 taxi from the train station and it was a good recommendation as we arrived in the dark with a lot of luggage. We walked into town the rest of the time and yes, the hill from the cottage into town is a good walk but it is worth it! The cottage was cozy and comfortable. Steve has a lot of brochures and info about the area on the bookshelf in the cottage so that was helpful too. We had a very nice stay! Thank you Steve.
