Katoomba Hostels - Reviews and Rates

What an exhausting day, after hiking virtually non-stop since 10am (it's now 4pm) I finally have time to relax and breathe. The day started in the usual way, although there was this rude girl who had the audacity to knock on the bathroom door while I was still showering which I thought was rather rude (I was in the bathroom for a grand total of ...

Caught the train from Sydney to Katoomba up in the Blue Mountains which took about 90 minutes. When we arrived at the YHA we were advised to get out and make the most of the weather as quickly as possible as it was the first clear day for 4 days... we decided to head straight out to "the Three Sisters" that afternoon. The Blue Mountains themselv...

We get directions to the Blue Mountains off reception and get there really quickly this alas is when things start going drastically wrong for me. I try and get some money out of the ATM but no cash point will allow me, we get a phone card and i ring Barclays 3 times with it cutting out each time with us finally realising it's our error as we've ...

After our stay in Melbourne we caught a night bus up to Sydney. We wanted to stop off at Canberra but found it impossible to book a room, but from what I've heard we aren't really missing out. Once we arrived in Sydney we jump straight onto a train to the Blue Mountains. 2 hours later we arrived in Katoomba, one of the biggest town in the Blue M...

Brendo photocopied some 'info' for me on the Blue Mountains - history, geography, et cetera, and lo, I did learn much about this National Park. Sydney has a "green band" around it of national parks, something which according to locals, "gives it the right to pollute and still have fresh air". For myself, I love it, and would wish the same on any...

Hi All. I have spent the last few days in Katoomba in the Blue Mountains. It's a short 2 hour train journey out of Sydney and in the middle of 3 HUGE national parks. They say that you could fit Holland into the largest one! I have been here 3 days now and had a fab time. The scenery is fantastic. I was on a 3 hour walk within 20 minutes of check...

On the 6th we set off on our trip to the blue mountains. We booked a lush place to stay called eagle view (www.eagleview.com) which is a hideaway for couples only. We picked up the hire car, an Astra convertible (Martine fancied the posing factor would be good). We did have to pick it up from the airport though as the office in Sydney made a coc...

This was the last day that we were all required to go as a group and do stuff together. We started the day by catching the 8 am train from Sydney to Katoomba which took about 2 hours. It was interesting to see the city change to suburbs change to a tourist town. We arrived and had some time to wander around looking at shops in Katoomba before we...
