We booked the room with open fire and spa bath. the fire we lit, the spa bath no, firstly the bathroom was freezing at all times and the electric radiator was sellotaped to the... more

My boyfriend and I took advantage of Melba House's midweek special of 3 nights for the price of 2 and didn't regret it for a second. We booked a spa suite and the room was lovely with a nice big bed, open fireplace and spa bath. There was also central heating which was a lifesaver since it was freezing outside.... more

We booked 2 nights at Melba House after reading all the positive reviews and we were certainly not disappointed. Marion and Trevor were kind and warm, the rooms were very cosy ( we spent one night in a room with a fireplace and lit it ourselves which was cool, considering we came from sunny Singapore.) I would love to return... more

On arrival at Melba House we were greeted by a very welcoming and warm Marion, especially seeing that we arrived almost 2 hours before check-in. Marion was more than happy to see us to our room and provide us with a wealth of information about the many things to see and do in Katoomba. We only stayed for 2 nights... more

We had two wonderful nights at Melba House. Hosts Marion and Trevor were most attentive, the room was spacious and beautifully furnished and breakfast was a real treat. We would definately stay there again. more

I have stayed with Marion & Trevor at Melba House on several occasions. Both before and after disgruntled London Therapy, and have loved it ever time. In fact, a friend called me about London Therapy’s negative feedback after I recommended Melba House to them. After reading his comments I reassured them that none of them were valid and he obviously... more

We had a wonderful 4 nights at Melba House. Trevor and Marion are two of the nicest and hospitable people my partner and I have met on our travels. The breakfast served in our room was simply fantastic, with so may choices available, and all tasting so good (Try the scrambled eggs, they are excellent!). Our room was spacious with... more

The proprietors, Trevor and Marion Hall, are two of the kindest and accommodating people I've ever met in my world travels. Their B&B is clean, comfortable and well priced. In addition, Marion is a superb cook , with warm breakfasts to order, or pastries, cereal and fruit on the lighter side. Both owners are replete with information and suggestions for... more

Great choice of hearty breakfast options served at our leisure in the room, kept has well feed for stunning walks during the days. Marion and Trevor Hall made... more

We stayed here for one night. Marion was away and Trevor tended to us. He was nice enough but not really the welcome you'd like. We did hope that Marion was the personality to the business. This place is very over priced for what you get but average for the area. Apart from some stunning walks there isn't much in... more

Management response from
Melbahouse, Owner Manager

On their arrival at Melba House, the relationship between the reviewer and his male partner was clearly strained. Both were visiting from the UK. The reviewer seemed concerned that Marion was away (on an unavoidable family commitment), and his approach to me was curt. For instance, when I offered advice on what to do in the Blue Mountains, I was...
