Katoomba Area

While bushwalking in this wilderness area is a favourite pastime, the region is also famous for its heritage-listed guesthouses and luxurious resorts that offer spa treatments, natural therapies and great dining experiences.

Once you’ve experienced the spectacular blue-hazed beauty, dramatic cliffs and deep canyons of the Blue Mountains, you’ll come away refreshed and invigorated. A string of townships, such as Blackheath and Leura, form a vibrant cultural community where artists, musicians and writers flourish.

Excellent accommodation, restaurants and cafés make Katoomba a great base for exploring the Blue Mountains. At Echo Point you'll find the stunning rock formation known as the Three Sisters, which overlooks the Jamison Valley. According to Aboriginal legend, they were once three sisters, turned to stone by a medicine man who sought to protect them.
