We loved our stay at Burnie Brae in Katoomba. We stayed for 3 nights over the weekend, and it was simply divine. The house is gorgeous, very old fashioned, and as a history buff and vintage dress fanatic, I loved it. The grounds are pretty and well lit, easy for walking back home to after going out for dinner.
The house provides a large kitchen, 2 bedrooms, a large living area and dining area and a bathroom with a double shower. All of these spaces have kept their traditional federation look and feel, but with added contemporary touches. This meant underfloor heating throughout the house, well lit kitchen space with all the mod cons, a very new and fancy bathroom (great hot water pressure!) and heated beds (with high quality linen). Despite its age, the place didn't feel musty or dated at all. And the living room is perfect for watching an episode of "Miss Fisher" with a glass of wine.
We were very close to the main centre of town, but it feels like you're in the middle of nowhere (perfect combo!). And once we confirmed and paid, the owner sent through a long list of local restaurants, cafes and takeaway shops, with detailed descriptions and reviews. This was so nice and definitely useful - we didn't eat badly the entire time!
Very close walk also to the train station - we took the train to Wentworth falls and took the Charles Darwin walk, which was pretty good (we're young and able 20-somethings).
All in all, a lovely stay. We will be back!

We have just spent a misty wet weekend at Katoomba, staying at Burnie Brae made it a magical time, beautiful home, great movie selection and everything you need for a quality weekend away, thank you guys, we would recommend this beautiful house and location,10/10

My husband and I have just come back from a weekend at Burnie Brae. This house is stunning. Perfectly furnished and decorated to keep in style with the period of the house. Great kitchen with everything you could possibly need, the bathroom was lovely and had a fantastic big double shower. The bed was one of the most comfy I've slept on with high quality linen and the house was spotlessly clean. We will definitely be going back again and I highly recommend it to adults wanting either a short or longer break. Overall we loved it!!

It was often cold and rainy while we were in Katoomba for 9 days, so we really appreciated the central underfloor heating, inexhaustible supply of hot water from huge twin showerheads, large and well equipped kitchen with a dishwasher and the comfy living room. There are two bedrooms with queen beds. The alarming sounds outside were only possums!
