Sidney’s Retreat is located in historic Lurline Street, Katoomba in the centre of the World Heritage region of the Blue mountains , a scenic 1 1/2 hours drive from Sydney.

This beautiful self-catering cottage is a convenient 2 minute walk into Katoomba’s interesting Art Deco main street for shopping and restaurants and a 5 minute stroll to the rail station.

A leisurely stroll down Lurline Street takes you past cafes, galleries and craft centres to the amazing sight of the Three Sisters on the edge of the Katoomba Escarpment.

There is a train station at Katoomba only a 5 min walk from the house down lurline st. There are buses in Katoomba st, Lurline st and surrounding suburbs in easy walking distance from the cottage.
There is parking on Lurline and Leichhart Streets, though not directly outside the house.

Other Things to Note:
We do not have onsite parking, the best place to park is at the corner of Leichhardt and Lurline st at the top of Leichhardt St facing down the hill.
We strongly recommend anyone with mobility issues does not stay with us as we have a set of stairs down from the road to the front door.

This is non hosted accommodation, so you will not see anyone during your stay. However, if you do need help we are only a phone call away.
