Gorgeous little cottage which was located centrally in Katoomba close to everything. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our visit. House is well equipped and spacious enough for a few days. Our teenage boys loved the loft area and were very comfortable there. Would come back again!

Perfect accommodation for our first time in the Blue Mountains. Quaint, cosy and comfortable with everything we could possibly need. Having an attic space that the kids could spend time in made the house feel really spacious. Our boys (9 and 11) loved the native birds that visited each day.
Great location to access all parts of the blue mountains attractions and hikes.
On the warmer days we walked down to local pool which the kids loved.
We can’t wait to come back again.

Lovely property with well appointed kitchen. The available spices and oils are a great touch.
Good location on bus route and a short walk to some great lookouts around Katoomba.
Beds are very comfortable and can guarantee birdsong every morning from the locals.
Claire was very responsive as a host.
Would definitely stay here again!

Our little family stayed at The Bird House for 2 nights. The cottage is centrally located in Katoomba and it was a delightful point for us to explore the surrounding area including a number of popular tourist destinations like Scenic World and Echo Point, which were all within 10 minutes of the house.
The house itself is well-appointed, clean and charming. The kids especially enjoyed the upstairs area, where they were able to have their own space to play.
We will definitely stay again!

The property is in a wonderful, central location to enjoy the Blue Mountains and get out and about - with restaurants, bush walks and shops nearby. Whilst at home, the kids were able to play games in a space that was all theirs (upstairs), watch movies or safely play outside in an enclosed backyard.

A gorgeous & cosy cottage, very well equipped and super clean. It’s ideal for families with a spacious and inviting attic offering plenty of room to play.
A short drive to Katoomba shops and the swim centre is less than 5 minutes walk away.

We enjoyed our stay at the property. It has a great space upstairs for the teenagers to chill out in. Warm house thorughout. Well equipped kitchen. Great location near the aquatic centre and only a few minutes drive from the supermarket. Would stay here again!

The bird house was perfect for our little family. It was immaculate, decorated beautifully and cozy and so welcoming! We immediately felt at home here. Our 9 year old daughter loved the loft ( so did I!). The location was great....we went for a swim in the local pool which was just a couple minutes walk and even walked into town for dinner one night. It's hilly (but not too far) so be prepared to work up an appetite!
We hosted a little lunch for my mother-in-law who turned 90 and she really loved the space too.
And true to its name on the last morning the birds came by to hang out in the garden. Our daughter fed them out of her hand they were so playful and friendly!
I adored this home! The owners were communicative friendly and accommodated and early check in for us too.
Thank you for making our time in the mountains so lovely.
We will be back!

This was a neat little cottage perfect for ducking in and out of as we attended a conference in Katoomba and enjoyed near by walks. House was well supplied with kitchen staples, a good sized fridge for our week long stay.

We had the most wonderful time at Bird Cottage. It’s a beautiful cottage in a great location. Everything you could possibly need has been provided, and the little extras such as the birdseed for the visiting parrots and cockatoos, make it that extra bit special. Claire was really helpful and very prompt to respond to any queries we had. Highly recommend staying here.
