BARTON COTTAGE

Welcome to Barton Cottage, a charming circa 1910s retreat nestled in the heart of the Blue Mountains. Blending shabby chic style with modern comforts, this cosy and well-appointed home offers the perfect base for your mountain escape.

Step inside and unwind in the character-filled lounge and dining area, styled with vintage touches and rustic accents. The fully equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher, microwave, and coffee plunger—ideal for preparing meals at home. A laundry/mud room with washing machine adds convenience for longer stays.

The cottage features three inviting bedrooms, each thoughtfully furnished with retro comfort in mind. A separate study/workspace provides a quiet spot for writing or working remotely. The vintage-style bathroom includes a beautiful claw-footed bathtub for long soaks, and a second toilet adds extra practicality.

Stay comfortable year-round with reverse-cycle air conditioning in the lounge and panel heaters in the bedrooms.

Outside, enjoy the leafy garden setting with a large fenced yard—perfect for pets. The front porch and rear undercover patio offer peaceful spots to enjoy your morning coffee or evening wine. There’s also outdoor dining and seating, plus off-street parking for added ease.

Located in peaceful North Katoomba, the cottage is just a 20-minute walk (1.3 km), with some uphill sections, to Katoomba Train Station. From here, you're ideally placed to explore the Blue Mountains’ bushwalks, waterfalls, lookouts, and the charming villages of Katoomba and Leura.

Barton Cottage is more than just a place to stay—it’s a welcoming home to return to after a day of adventure. With its vintage charm, modern amenities, and tranquil atmosphere, you’ll feel right at home in the mountains.
