My son and I stayed 3 nights in Melba House while hiking in the Blue Mountains. The owner, Sue, is a fantastic cook and the tea and breakfasts were incredibly good. Sue was also very knowledgeable about the area and helpful in directing us to local attractions. The house is lovely and charming and extremely well located. More

I stayed at Melba House for a quick pick-me-up between Christmas and New Year and left feeling relaxed and very well looked after. All the rooms are clean, warm, comfortable and tastefully decorated. I felt Sue couldn't have done more to make me feel welcome, and the lovely Issy was a great ball of energy! Sue cooked amazing breakfasts, didn't... More

The house is in easy walking distance to downtown Katoomba, to cafes and restaurants,... More

I couldn't recommend it enough for someone... More

We really enjoyed our stay at Melba House. We were in Dame Nellie, and the first impression when you enter the room is definitely fantastic. The decor is perfection - the small touches - teacups, port decanter, chandelier, fur throw - all of these were much appreciated. This room was extremely large with a lovely giant tub to soak in...
