Timeless Elegance and Exceptional Service

Highly recommended. Older guesthouse which is being lovingly restored. Beds excellent and good hot showers. Staff are excellent, brilliant service from check-in to breakfast to dinner. Food is outstanding. Dinner in the restaurant is highly recommended, absolutely 5 star food and service. Beautiful sunny verandah for an afternoon rest and lounge with fireplace for a drink before dinner. Away from the crowds at Blackheath and Katoomba, Mount Victoria is a cute little town, much smaller but only a short drive to everywhere.

Wish We’d Found It Sooner!

Dropped in for a coffee on the way home and the service was fantastic. Coffee was perfect. I wish we had of know about this place earlier! After reading the reviews I would have loved to experience a meal here. The cakes and the meals coming out looked amazing!

A Delightful and Affordable Retreat

I absolutely loved staying at the Victoria & Albert Guesthouse! The styling and decor was really well done and beautiful, the guest rooms were tidy and sweet. Complimentary breakfast was lovely and the wrap around verandah was a great spot to relax and read a book. I was very surprised with the quality based on how affordable the rates were. Will definitely book again.

An Evening to Remember

We actually didn’t stay here, we only had dinner. There were 10 of us – 6 adults and 4 children. When we arrived we were given an unexpected tour through all the various sitting rooms that had been recently renovated, and they were wonderful!! Our host pointed out various aspects in each room, from the year a fox was taxidermied to the designer of the magnificent wall paper in the dining room – Catherine Martin (wife of Baz Luhrmann). The meal was superb, the children were invited to use the chess boards when they finished their meals. Next time we will stay overnight. I’m certain it will be great.

Charming Stay and Warm Hospitality at Victoria & Albert Guesthouse

We were not quite sure what to expect, but this place proved a revelation – a lovingly restored guesthouse, brimming with period furniture and stylish decoration. The staff were terrific fun, as well as friendly and helpful, and there was even a free (very good) continental breakfast. The room was quiet and comfortable, and Mt Vic teems with walking tracks to explore. There is also a cafe attached to the business, as well as a lovely garden and shady verandah. Can’t wait to come back!
