I currently live in Sydney and am accessible 24/7 via phone, text and email. Nestled in the heart of NSW, Katoomba is famous for its awe-inspiring scenery and spectacular nature. The charming township of Leura is just a short drive away, along with historic Wentworth Falls and Blackheath. Gowan Brae is situated in a quiet street, just a 5-minute walk to Katoomba's cafés, restaurants, art galleries and shops. Sydney Train: Gowan Brae is a 9 minute walk from Katoomba train station. Trains arrive frequently from Sydney Central Station via the Blue Mountains line. Traveling by train takes approx. 2 hours, depending on the time of day. The timetable can be viewed online at Transport NSW Info Route Details. Driving from Sydney: Heading west, travel along Parramatta Rd onto the M4 Western Motorway. (If travelling from Sydney along the M2, continue onto the M7 and then turn right onto the M4 Western Motorway.) Continuing along the M4, drive past the exit to Penrith and then the road will ascend up into the Blue Mountains. Continue driving through the townships of Glenbrook, Blaxland, Warrimoo, Springwood, Lawson, Bullaburra, Wentworth Falls and Leura. Katoomba is the next town after Leura. Turn left onto Parke St at the set of lights. Turn right onto Jewel Lane and then left onto Cascade St. Turn right onto Gates Ave. Travel a short distance and you will see number 5 Gates Ave on the right hand side. \*\*\* Driving from Sydney's international or domestic airports: Peak hour traffic in Sydney can be heavy, thus these times could easily double. Departing from the airport, follow the signs to the M5 (sign for Canberra). Travel along the M5 for approx. 20 mins to the M7 (sign for Blacktown). Turn right onto the M7. Travel along the M7 for approx. 20mins. Turn left onto the M4. Continuing along the M4, drive past the exit to Penrith. The road will ascend up into the Blue Mountains. Continue driving through the townships of Glenbrook, Blaxland, Warrimoo, Springwood, Lawson, Bullaburra, Wentworth Falls and Leura. Katoomba is the next town after Leura. Turn left onto Parke St at the set of lights. Turn right onto Bathurst Rd and then left onto Cascade St. Turn right onto Gates Ave. Travel a short distance and you will see number 5 Gates Ave on the right hand side. While Gowan Brae is ideal for honeymooners, we regret that weddings cannot be accommodated. Guest are refrained from smoking indoors and in the garden due to its close proximity to native bush-land. We regret that pets cannot be accommodated. In Autumn and Winter (May to November) warm outdoor clothing is advisable as temperatures can be up to 10 degrees cooler than Sydney temperatures. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car not required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Freezer - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Music library - Netflix - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo - Streaming services - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Hardwood flooring in public areas - Well-lit path to entrance - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request - Iron/ironing board - Unlimited smartphone data usage ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Golfing nearby - Horseback riding nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bed sheets changed on request - Energy-saving switches in guestrooms - Garden - Property does not allow children - Recycling - Towels (changed on request) ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/23000000/22510000/22501800/22501749/d8e43d34.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cat On The Hat Cottage ~MeOw MeOw~ 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟 🌟 🌟 😻 property Blackheath - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 9.8 Exceptional 265 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-17&endDate=2025-11-18&selected=22501749&PinnedHotelID=22501749&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100060000/100054700/100054656/7227ea4b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful Blue Mountains Garden Flat Katoomba - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Outdoor space 9.6 Exceptional 24 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-17&endDate=2025-11-18&selected=100054656&PinnedHotelID=100054656&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33700000/33693800/33693781/91b52074.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Evenstar Cottage-Idyllic Mountain getaway Blackheath - Hot tub - Kitchen - Outdoor space - Parking available 9.8 Exceptional 201 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-17&endDate=2025-11-18&selected=33693781&PinnedHotelID=33693781&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/83000000/82480000/82479800/82479786/e998c08a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sleep in the Clouds!
