It is in the heart of Katoomba and within walking distance (approx. 10-15 mins) of the major Blue Mountains tourist attractions, including Scenic World, Katoomba Falls, Echo Point/Three Sisters Lookout and walking trails. It is also close to shops, restaurants, bars, coffee spots, bakeries, cafes and art galleries.
Shepton House is perfect for families and groups of friends. It is full of character and charm, including sandstone walls in the casual living area and downstairs bedroom, original stained glass windows and kauri pine floors. The furniture is a timeless mix of vintage and new.

Getting Around:
In addition to being within easy, walking distance of many of the Blue Mountains most popular tourist attractions, Shepton House is also conveniently located near a Blue Mountains Hop On Hop Off Explorer bus stop (stop 15).

About Shepton House: Shepton House was built in 1904 by Percival and Edith Hammon, whose son, Harry went on to create the iconic Scenic World, one of the Blue Mountains major tourist attractions (and a walk away from Shepton House). It was named 'Shepton' after Edith's birthplace in England. We look forward to sharing this special home with you!

The house is in a great location, it's a 10-min walk to all the shops/restaurants and similar to the three sister/information centre etc. The house is large enough for everyone to chill out and entertain "in"if you want. We will definitely come back and stay again.
