Coolangatta Historic House 1889 was built by the Mayor of Balmain, Solomon Hyam. The house initially served as a guest house for his friends and family from the city. In days past, Coolangatta has played host to a doctor's surgery, music school and a variety of overseas guests.
Over 120 years, ' Coolangatta' was subject to metamorphosis, with walls and interiors changing as owners came and went overtime. The current owner has restored the home with sympathetic attention to period and detail under the guidance of the Heritage Council of N.S.W. The National Trust of Australia took great interest in 'Coolangatta' after the feature story published in Australian Country Style Magazine hit the newsstands. 'Coolangatta' was featured as a National Trust Home of Significance and noted for its historical heritage significance.
Decorated with luxurious fabrics, wallpapers from Europe, and carpets from the Scottish Highlands, the home has an eclectic, homely feel. Double brick, verandahs, and divine fitting and fixtures throughout.
Five generous bedrooms plus the Studio, two bathrooms, oversized working fireplaces in lounge/living area, plus hydronic heating throughout provide beautiful spaces for large family gatherings.

Reviews
Thanks for a great stay"
Brooklin Kennedy-Lo - 16th July 2023"What a beautiful house. 8 of us and a toddler stayed for a weekend away and it was a fantastic stay. The house is a historical beauty and huge. There’s even a hot tub! We gathered in all the common rooms, each with their own charm and loved retreating to our decadent bedrooms. It’s right in town, walking distance to everything. It’s a great new property which I recommend to anyone who is considering a mountain getaway."
A beautiful property set in Katoomba
Sam Harnwell - 14th June 2023Easy walk to the Three Sisters and all the bustle of Katoomba town.Plenty of room and privacy. Wonderful kitchen if you are catering for a large family or group.
