Katoomba Guest Houses - Reviews and Rates

so katoomba was a 2 hour train ride from the city. it was hot the entire time we were there. the heat made us grumpy and miserable. we spent the first day checking out the cliffs and the blue mountains. the area was beautiful, similar to the grand canyon but not as deep and blanketed in trees. the vegetation was lush and green with cockatiles fl...

EN: Its proximity to Sydney, astounding scenary, and slightly cooler climate, makes Blue Mountains a popuplar weekend destination for Sydneysiders escaping from their everyday hustle. It is quite a large area, so although the number of visitors is huge, it is still not too packed (apart from the very famous lookouts). The first site we visited w...

What a great last weekend in Sydney!!! Saturday Blaire and I went to the markets at the Rocks one last time then took the ferry from Circular Quay over to Taronga Zoo. The zoo grounds are HUGE and sooo beautiful! The view of the city from over there is amazing!! The zoo itself was also incredible-- we saw everything from giraffes to elephants, k...

Bonsoir, Nous partons pour la journee aux Blue Mountains, apres notre traditionnel petit dejeuner au Starbuck, notre QG a Sydney. Les Blue Mountains sont a 1h30 de route, nous arrivons la-bas vers midi (le temps de se perdre un peu a la sortie de Sydney...) Nous commencons notre ballade sur le site des "3 sisters". Le sentier nous entraine le lo...

Lo mejor conocer a nuestro buga, la furgoneta que nos va a llevar por este gigante pais.... Como veis esta bastante bien, la cocinita, bueno que lo tiene todo para hacer tu casa en estos dos meses. Ya estamos rollo gitanos, como podeis imaginar, hacer y deshacer la cama-mesa a diario, reponer el agua del tanque que se acaba en dos fregadas, y or...

We got up early and walked to Central Station where we took the train to Katoomba. The journey took 2 hours and a day return cost $15. The first hour was not very interesting, just through the suburbs, but after that we enjoyed mountain scenery. The train stopped very often, seemed like every five minutes. At Katoomba we boarded the Blue Mountai...

OH MY GOD, YESTERDAY WAS UNBELIEVEABLE. Rob and I took a bus into Katoomba and went ABSEILING. That's like the fun part of rock climbing, when you're repelling down a rock wall. We were in a group of 10 and started out in the morning going down a 4-meter wall. After that we moved up to a 15-meter wall, then 25. It was so cool learning how to jum...

Todays hiking route was to walk down the Giant Stairway. This is a stone stairway built down the side of one of the 3 sisters. Quite a bit of work went into building this stairway. It is very steep and very old. From there it is a 6km walk to the Scenic Railway which takes you back up the canyon wall. It is the steepest railway in the world with...

Arrived here early afternoon having driven from Dubbo (the gateway to the outback) where we had stayed last night. (Dubbo managed to conjure up a cracking thunderstorm during the night which knocked out the power all over the place and Cathy slept through it). Sun was shining so having found a very nice hotel (Palais Royale in Katoomba) we decid...

En el Parque Nacional de las Montañas Azules pudimos ver y escuchar la leyenda de las Tres Hermanas (The Three Sisters) formación rocosa en el borde del acantilado. viajar en el The Katoomba Scenic Railway, según el Libro Guinness de los Récords, es el riel más empinado del mundo. Los carros guiados por cable descienden 415 metros a través de un...
