The easiest way to sum up Melba House is - BOOK IT !! Do not hesitate! Marion and Trevor clearly love their job as hosts. Nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was delightful, and an absolute treat to be served in our room. The attention to detail was outstanding. Great location - near enough to all shops and restaurants, but... more

We found Melba House to be an excellent bed and breakfast. The hosts were extremly helpful with local knowledge, advice on walks etc and they were really friendly and welcoming. The breakfasts were the best we had in Australia, especially the blueberry pancakes. We would definitely stay here again and will recommend it to anyboy who is staying in the... more

Marina and I found Melba house via the TI at Echo point - the room advertised was 33% off so already we were happy with it! Getting there, Trevor met us - a very genial host, checked us in and also had some great eating recommendations - the Carrington Bistro do a superb steak. The room itself was very spacious,... more

We had a great stay here. There were several nice touches such as being given a free upgrade to a better room because it happened to be vacant, and being picked up from the train station by the owners. When we needed some small favours like using the internet, and calling ahead to the next town, our hosts were happy... more

If you're after a romantic weekend or the perfect escape from the stresses of city life, this it. Melba House is the quintessential Blue Mountains experience. My bedroom in this classic weatherboard house was large, with a bay window, and furnished in keeping with a bygone era, without being twee, fussy or stuffy. I used Melba House as a base... more

Management response from
Melbahouse, Owner

We were disappointed to read that our guests’ holiday did not live up to their expectations. We did ask them about their travels in case we could offer any knowledge helpful to them. They made no comment to us that they were in any way dissatisfied and we had no sense of dissatisfaction on their part. As they were rather...

Kristy and I celebrated the 2009 New Year at Melba House. We loved it! The breakfast was extensive and delicious. The spa was great. Melba House is a slightly uphill walk to the station but nothing too difficult. Katoomba has many pleasant new and second hand bookstores and good eating. Trevor and Marion will happily offer you recommendations about the... more

Melba House was a little bit of luxury for myself and my friend who are travelling for 2 years around the world. I booked it for my friend's birthday treat and we were not disappointed. The twin room was large with a real fire (although we did not need to light it as the central heating came on late afternoon... more

My husband and I spent a wonderful 3 days at Melba house in October while the Leura Gardens Festival was on. We don't usually stay at B & B's so I selected Melba House very carefully by checking their website and reviews. We stayed in a room with a spa and a fireplace and it was perfectly lovely. The room... more
