Local Expertise

FIRST CAME THE GUIDEBOOK

Becoming an innkeeper through complete serendipity, Annette, and her husband Gavin, made the tree change from Sydney to the beautiful Blue Mountains. They are the proud owners of the unique guesthouse and private rental, No.14 Lovel St, in Katoomba. Despite the worst bushfires in recent history, floods and a global pandemic, they have never looked back!

Annette relishes sharing her local knowledge and hidden gems, whatever your budget. The World Heritage listed Blue Mountains area is well known for its awesome natural beauty.. and it is truly awesome. In OUT OF THE BLUE, Annette will show you the many other reasons she loves living here.

NOW WE BRING IT TO LIFE WITH PRIVATE TOURS

In 2024, Annette & Gavin added Private Transport and Private Tours in the Blue Mountains to bring the pages of Out of the Blue to life.

Whether you need transport from A to B or a full-day Blue Mountains private tour, we’ll build an itinerary around your timing, interests, and pace.

For private tours, our SUV suits 1–4 passengers (we recommend 3 adults for extra comfort on longer days).

We’ve also added a minivan with a wheelchair lift, allowing us to accommodate up to 7 seated passengers plus 1 wheelchair passenger for accessible experiences.

Contact us to plan a relaxed, local day out—scenic lookouts, villages, food and wine, short walks, or a mix of everything.
