Gorgeous old guesthouse, simple breakfast, but lots of cute touches such as port in the room, and the vast array of teas on offer….coffee was awful, but cafe lurlines around the corner is excellent if you need the good stuff….the floors are creaky but that’s part of the charm ….we loved our stay

Great little find in a convenient location for our overnight stay. Our only real issue was that we didn’t have a fridge in the room to keep drinks cool, but there was a fridge available downstairs in the communal area with milk for tea and coffee etc. Very cute library with hundreds of DVDs to watch in any downtime!

Relaxed stay in the beautiful blue mountains
Evelyn and Iain were great hosts. The property is very historic, interesting and quiet. The homemade muesli was a highlight. As was yoga with Evelyn. Would love to come again for longer.

Beyond our expectations
Our stay was beyond our expectations. The Kurrara is a lovely, quaint old style guest house that has a lot of charm and character. It is very comfortable and the breakfast was quite good. It is also situated close to the Three Sister tracks and the old town with shopping and restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and met other couples who were staying at the Guest House.

It wasn't your typical hotel, but rather an old guesthouse, just as I expected. The room was clean but very small. I only saw the owner when I entered and again when I left. I didn't have a chance to ask about the heater because I couldn't find one. Breakfast was good, although I wanted a boiled egg and they told me I had to cook it myself, so I didn't have it. I stayed two nights, but the room was never cleaned. Check-out was at 10 am, very early, even though I had arrived almost at night, so I couldn't really enjoy the house. If you were looking to be close to shops, this isn't the place; it was about a 20-minute walk away. But if you're looking for total peace and quiet away from everyone, this is it.

Ohhhhh where do I start !!!! Kurrara was THE best place to stay. Such a historic guest house, with everything from furniture to teapots, all period correct. You felt like you had stepped back in time. Our room was gorgeous, bed and pillows, were so comfortable and our breakfast was delicious.. I would Highly Highly recommend staying here. I will certainly be back.
