Sipha and John are excellent hosts, Katoomba Manor is luxury away from the stress of the city. The total atmosphere is warm and relaxing and the hosts are gracious friendly and very accommodating. The cooked breakfast is delicious and filling. We have no problems recommending a weekend stay here and will return again in the near future. 5 stars.......

Great B &B - attention to detail and comfort
A great experience. John and Sipha focus on providing a comfortable, homely and stress-free stay for their guests. The home cinema is great and the home is beautiful. I loved sitting in front of the fire reading and enjoying a coffee or the complimentary sweets, chocolates and fruit. The made-to-order breakfast was outstanding. The bed was great and the shower was divine. Highly recommended.

Excellent value for money
John and his wife were so welcoming and really helpful in advising what to do, and provided a map. Hotel is finished to a high quality it has 4 ensuite rooms. It also has a 9 seat cinema. Complimentary water, fruit, cake, biscuits, tea and coffee provided. We would recommend this Boutique Hotel.

Delicious breakfasts; spotless hotel
The very friendly host goes through all of the amenities of the Manor. He also has a bushwalking guide to all the hikes in the area. He and his wife put on a lavish breakfast including juice, coffee, tea, fruit, yogurt and cereals then a cooked breakfast with eggs, bacon, sausage, tomatoes, mushrooms and toast though you can order a subset of these items. Everything was cooked to perfection. They were very accommodating about my gluten allergy providing me with gluten free toast and cereal. We had a wonderful stay there.

Can't fault it!
Fabulous couple of night at Katoomba Manor - all the positive reviews are justified! Great hosts offering lots of good advice about how to make the most of you time in the area. The room was comfortable and clean and the shower is great! Although near a busy road the noise did not bother us thanks to double glazing and shutters. It's a great location - an easy walk in town. And the breakfast....! Yum. We'd stay here again if we were back in the area. Thanks John and Sipha!

Blown away by level of service and detail
Absaloutely faultless! From the minute we arrived my husband and I were made to feel welcome. Honesty have never experienced the level of service anywhere in the world, and that’s enabled by having only the 4 guest rooms. The house itself is stunning, the bathroom tiled in marble and just splendid. complimentary tea and cakes/chocolates on offer and an amazing breakfast each morning! I would strongly Suggest everyone stay here, I already plan to bring my mum here next year!!

Comfortable Home with Lovely Hosts
I enjoyed a lovely stay at Katoomba. John and Sipha were incredibly welcoming. John provided fantastic tips on where to go, how to there and the best times of day to take advantage of the local surroundings and attractions. Sipha made an amazing breakfast! And they gave me great tips for local restaurants, too. Katoomba Manor is well situated -- you can easily walk over the bridge and into town for drinks and dinner. The one downside is that it's right along the freeway. The bedrooms feature double-pane glassed windows and electric shades that help dampen the noise and light, and the beds are incredibly comfortable with lovely linens, so it didn't distract too much from my enjoying my stay and getting a good night's rest. Taking long hikes during the day also helped me rest well. But if you're super sensitive to noise, you might wish to ask to book a room that is not on the side of the house that faces the roadway. I really enjoyed my stay at Katoomba Manor. Lovely home with lovely hosts! Thanks, John & Sipha for helping me make the most of a my visit to the Blue Mountains!

Lovely accommodation in Katoomba
We had a really lovely weekend stay at Katoomba Manor. The hosts were extremely friendly and hospitable and the room was lovely and clean. The room can get a little noisy as it's on the highway but they thankfully have double glazed windows to keep the noise out in the evening. A really great stay, we'll definitely be back again.

Immaculate condition
Very clean and tidy with extra touches like the pecan pie, shortbread, fruit and bottled water. Breakfast was superb. Sadly our room had a lot of road noise which we weren't used to and the bed creaked and groaned which led to two sleepless nights. We are sure John would have moved us had there been any spare rooms.

Katoomba Gem
We are used to hotel stays, so Katoomba Manor was a breath of fresh air and very comfortable. Our hosts were friendly and welcoming and the included breakfast is fantastic. We will stay there next time we visit and will recommend it to our friends for any of their potential visits. A home away from home in every sense. Thanks for having us.

Moderate Family Home
This is not for some one who is looking for holiday as such. OK for a family home style accommodation. Rooms are bit small with not much leg room. Well presented though. Difficult to come and go whenever you want as if the caretakers are not available you wont be able to get in!! We had to wait more than half an hour to enter the property after we had a tired bush walking!

Katoomba Business Accomodation
The overall condition and quality of the accomodation was excellent and finished to a high standard. The room itself is fastidiously maintained including cleanliness and the bathroom was a standout feature of the stay with heated flooring and modern furnishings, without distracting from the overall design intention of the room itself. The hosts were very friendly and eager to assist you with your stay and site seeing witihn the Blue Mountains. Breakfast in particular was a highlight of my time at Katoomba Manor and reflected on the commitment to service of the hosts. Katoomba Manor is conveniently located to all the main attractions within Katoomba itself and a short drive to the centre of town. I would highly recommend Katoomba Manor as an accomodation venue for your stay in and around Katoomba and the Blue Mountains.

We weren't sure what to expect, but were blown away by the warm welcome we received. Our hosts were exceptionally attentive and friendly, and the room (and entire hotel) was immaculate - it is clear that a lot of pride is taken. We felt like part of the family. )

Great place to explore blue mountains
Hosts are really helpful. Place is about a 7min walk from katoomba station. Prob a 8bux taxi from the station. Room is small but really clean and cosy. Bathroom is awesome too with heaters so you dont have to worry about the cold weather. Breakfast with the poached eggs are really good.

A nice and comfortable place
We stayed in Katoomba Manor for two nights. John and his wife are nice hosts. The room are comfortable and neat with a lot of details. Their home theatre is a perfect place for spending a winter evening in Blue Mountain. Breakfast was good, and they always made sure we have enough food. The only negative thing is the shower. The water was easily leaked and made the whole floor wet. Probably they need to redo the curtain so that it can cover the shower area without water splashing out. Having said that, I like their bath. Overall, we enjoyed the stay and believe it is much better deal comparing with staying in a hotel in this price range.
