Blue Mountains Accommodation & Italian Cooking Classes

Experience our day classes & self contained holiday accommodation

Blue Mountains NSW Australia

ABOUT

Set with a backdrop to the Blue Mountains National Reserve and Minni HaHa Falls down the street, Fifth Ave Katoomba Retreat sits on a 1000 sqm block and is a relaxing space for 8 people where you will experience that 'ahhh' moment instantly. A five to ten minute drive to main tourist attractions and a peaceful aspect when you return from your Blue Mtns day trip. Or take a quick ride into town by public bus from the top of our street!

Suitable for small groups and the perfect family accommodation with holiday house essentials and little luxuries – encouraging you to unwind so you focus on time together. It's not too big for couples either.

On check out we entice you to sleep in to recharge your mind and body. Take your time, soak in the view from the deck and breathe in fresh mountain air. The only exception to this is when we have back to back bookings where check out will be at 11am.
