John is very polite, patient and fun. I had unforgettable moments at the guest house with everyone who works there. And then we have 3 days off during the week that you can explore the Blue Mountain area a lot. If I have another opportunity, I will definitely work there again.

Most amazing world packer experience! Liarna and John are amazing hosts and managers. The work is fun, a cosy and busy the guest house with an amazing view and lovely team. I had the opportunity to work and socialise with other volunteers too. Food and accommodation is lovely. Location is amazing, you can explore so much of the blue mountains on your days off. Really wish I could have stayed longer, would love to go back! Thank you so much☺️

This the guest house in Katoomba has a great location and stunning views, but be careful. I worked there for 2 months, and while the room was decent, the job is essentially full-time and unpaid. I was left alone to serve hundreds of customers despite no experience or fluent English, making it incredibly stressful. Management shows no care for you outside of shifts, and the "free dinner" is only on working days—often terrible, once causing me food poisoning. The experience was isolating and frustrating. Avoid this place if you can. Reach out for more details. Safe travels and enjoy Australia just not here

Hi Thiboult,
We’re surprised by your review, as no concerns were raised during your two-month stay, you spoke positively when asked.
All hours were within the agreed limits, and any extra were optional and paid. Meals were provided on working days, and no food issues were reported by others. If concerns had been raised, we would have addressed them.
We value honest feedback, but also fairness and open communication. Wishing you well on your travels.
John
Owner, Elysian
