The Blue Mountains is a huge area with a massive National Park featuring many walking tracks. If you are travelling by car you will reach the edge of it after about 60 minutes of travel along the Great Western Highway. Katoomba is the main regional centre of the area with many shops restaurants and adventure companies offering tours of all kinds. There is an excellent hop on hop off bus service adjacent to the Katoomba railway station that will take you around approximately 24 local attractions ranging from parks and gardens to historic homes and museums. Katoomba and Leura are joined together. The centre of each town is only about 4 km apart. There is a major tourist office located at Echo Point, Katoomba where you may also view the famous Three Sisters after you have collected all the information on the local sights. Nearby is the famous cable car and the steepest railway in the world at Scenic World. See the “local attractions” at the top of this page for more information.
All properties offered by Blue Mountains Getaways are warm and cozy with plenty of heating. Even in the summertime you will find this area much cooler than Sydney. We suggest you bring warm clothes if you intend to explore the area on foot just in case

I thought the cottage was really well set up and we appreciated all the little niceties that are not normally supplied, such as good tea bags and coffee, scented bags in the drawers, plenty of hangers in the cupboards, a decent cake of soap and plenty of toilet rolls. The kitchen was well supplied with nice glasses and fine china mugs that were good to drink tea from [thick china is no good!] I also noticed the availability of a pepper mill with black pepper, various other condiments, a medical kit etc – not required on our brief stay but appreciated none the less. It was also good having towel rails/airers in the both bedrooms.
The other thing we liked was having a stereo system available – I get so fed up when all that is supplied is a TV. I love my music and of course being at a music festival, we bought CDs, and it was great to be able to play them. Thanks again, Sandra
Just wanted to let you know that we had an absolutely amazing time in the mountains for the winter magic festival and Keira Cottage was the perfect base for us, with an easy walk to Katoomba. We loved every minute and had no problems whatsoever with the house. If i haven't already moved to the beloved mountains by the same time next year, i will definately be booking the cottage again.
Thanks so much for making our stay so enjoyable. Regards,
Michelle
What a perfect cozy cottage, beautiful views, warm, secure, lovely linen and quaint features! Perfectly located between Katoomba and Leura., Thank you for a lovely stay.
Kind Regards, Athena
Hi Geoff, Thanks for email. We had a really good time in Keira Cottage. We had trouble parking (We have a giant Nissan Patrol!!) but that did not spoil anything. The cottage was beautiful - clean and cosy! We did lots of hikes and walks but indend to come back to the area for more hiking. I was going to write something very positive about Keira Cottage in the visitor book but was so busy packing, that I forgot to do so. It really was a lovely place to stay and we will come back. Regards,
Maria
Dear Geoff,
we had a very good time at your cottage and in Katoomba. If ever I get a chance to return to Australia (I am from Germnay, looong way), I will remember stopping over at Keira cottage.
The charme of the place is overwhelming. And in addition to that we had great fun hiking the national pass and visiting the Ukulene festival. Kind regards, Anke
