| Our wide range of Blue Mountains accommodation lets you enjoy all the area has
to offer: From bushwalking and horse riding, to abseiling and rock sports; from
vineyards, to culinary delights; from art galleries, to beautiful scenery and places of Aboriginal cultural significance. We have Blue Mountains hotels to suit every budget and holiday need.
Whether taking a bushwalk or the Scenic Skyway cable car, our Blue Mountains
hotels are a perfect base for exploring the breathtaking natural beauty of the
area, especially the Jamison Valley, which includes the Three Sisters, Katoomba
Falls and Mount Solitary. The rugged pristine environment can also be
appreciated by taking a paddle wheeler cruise along the scenic Nepean gorge or
an abseiling or adventure tour in The Jenolan Caves.
Our accommodation in the Blue Mountains also makes a great base for appreciating the
art and culture of the area: From antique centres, to arts and crafts displays;
from the Norman Lindsay Gallery and Museum, to Casey's vineyard, which
specialises in cool climate wine.
The pioneering spirit of the area can be appreciated at the Megalong Australian
Heritage Centre, which is a celebration of Australian rural life where you can
learn how to crack a whip, muster, milk a cow and shear a sheep. The Zig Zag
Railway is also a monument to the pioneering spirit. Built in the 1860s to
enable produce to be taken to Sydney from the Blue Mountains, the railway
was regarded as one of the engineering wonders of the Victorian age.
Our hotels in the Blue Mountains act as a great base for exploring the area’s rich Aboriginal cultural history. The origin of the Three Sisters rock formation is explained by Aboriginal dreamtime myth of three sisters of the Katoomba tribe who fell in love with three brothers of the neighbouring Nepean tribe. The unions where not permitted under tribal law, and a when a tribal battle broke out a witchdoctor turned the three sisters to stone in an effort to protect them. The spell was unable to be reversed after the witchdoctor was killed and the rock formations stand as a reminder of the battle to future generations.
Our Blue Mountains accommodation is perfect for enjoying one of the area's many
festivals: From the celebration of the change of seasons in late June, the
Winter Magic Festival; to celebrations of music, the Blue Mountains Music
Festival featuring folk, roots and blues and the Kowmung Music festival, which
features chamber music and jazz in unusual venues like limestone caves and
cattle sheds.
