Kings Bower at Katoomba

Be enchanted by the iconic Blue Mountains Art Deco features of Kings Bower. Beautifully appointed cottage within a stone's throw of restaurants, walks & world heritage listed attractions. Relax by the slow combustion fire, meander through the ever-changing cold climate garden, get up close and personal with Australian wildlife or explore the unique attractions located a walk or short drive away.

The cottage is furnished with charming vintage and antique furniture and offers three bedrooms and one bathroom. Kings Bower has everything that you, your family and friends could wish for in a home away from home. Kings Bower is situated in amongst established gardens and backs onto a mountain stream. Sit and enjoy the elevated back deck and observe a postcard array of Australian parrots. With patience you may have an encounter with our namesake, the regal King Parrot as well as Crimson Rosellas, Cockatoos and Lorikeets. A Superb Lyrebird inhabits the glen behind the property and those with keen ears might be able to identify his cheeky imitation of local birds including the laughing Kookaburra, Magpie and Eastern Whip Bird. Once the sun has set you may be lucky enough to spot George the brush tail possum or Ringo the ringtail possum who can be enticed to the window with an offering of apple.

A visit at Kings Bower is a truly Australian experience and we look forward to welcoming you to our cottage. The Katoomba Train Station is approximately 1.5 km away with a taxi stand out the front. There are also tour buses and local buses available.

A Wonderful Weekend
We've stayed at Kings Bower before, and this visit certainly didn't disappoint: a lovely, relaxed vibe, a beautiful outlook from the back deck and a location that is handy to the heart of Katoomba, whilst being at a pleasant remove. Will we return? Yes, of course!

House was good, huge bath towels and plenty of power points, beds extremely comfortable, and central heating was great. BUT- there was a problem with Wi-fi. We tried every which way and no success, phoned agent. Ended up using hot spot for kids, so not sure if so TV basic. Robyn

Delightful
A delightful cottage for a cozy weekend. Fabulous heating system, plus wood fire, with an extremely well stocked kitchen. Beds were SO comfortable and linen was 5 star! Could use a little spring clean under the beds, corners of the bathroom, window sills around dining room, etc. but overall very clean. Thank you! We will definately stay again.

Weekend escape from Sydney
We loved the cottage! We were 2 couples escaping Sydney for the weekend. Extremely comfortable beds and so nice and quiet! Great that there was Netflix and it was well equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen. Excellent pressure in the shower that you wouldn’t expect necessarily in an older place. I personally loved how it was styled with all the personal touches Would definitely recommend

Our stay at Kings Bower Mountain Cottage.
We really enjoyed staying at Kings Bower Mountain Cottage. We especially loved the rambling garden (including the cascading wisteria in full bloom off the balcony), open fire and the waffle maker and felt very much at home. The beautiful birds on the balcony kept us entertained and the location was close to bushwalks and a short drive to the shops and galleries.
