Very spacious with 2 levels of living. The downstairs area was great for the kids as they had their own space and bathroom, and also had additional beds, good for 6x people. The upstairs area was immaculately furnished with 3 decent sized bedrooms and all facilities that we could ever need. The kitcken was great, and the views from the property were awesome.
The property was great but we were not very happy with:
1. The $500 deposit that had to be paid (they had our credit card details in case of incidentals)
2. The 3% stripe credit card surcharge (non refundable) which also included the deposit.
3. The house rules were quite overwhelming. Expecting us to clean up and put away dishes after washing was surprising considering that they charge a $250 cleaning fee.

The view from the small balcony was beautiful. Kitchen was well appointed with appliances etc.
Only one of the beds was comfortable. One was like concrete. The electricity setup was dangerous with extension cords and double adapters everywhere. The power tripped when turning on the dryer. Some doors didn't lock. Washing machine not working. The yard was unkempt with excessive weeds. 8 beds in the house but only 2 blankets. Assistance from the managing agent was slow and they were unapologetic about any of the issues, saying it was a 'budget' house and prices accordingly. Sorry, there were other houses in the same price range that I doubt had all the issues we had with this one. Worst booking.com house we have stayed at.

Lovely location with a stunning view and great grounds/garden, very clean, spacious for our group, quiet, good communication from staff/owners
The place is quite cold even with the fire place going. And that is only for upstairs. Down stairs there is no heating at all and so it was freezing which means it is not a usable space in winter except for the sleeping.

Loved the bushland view & we saw a couple of kangaroos one morning. We didn’t have a car with us however the walk from Katoomba railway station was only about half an hour (with 4 children!). We walked to & from Scenic World which again was about a half hour walk.
Everything was reasonably acceptable. The upstairs toilet only has a sliding door so not particularly soundproof.
