The 3 Explorers Motel is well located and convenient to visit Katoomba. We had only a small issue with the cabinets in the 2nd bedroom - they were not clean and had things from previous customers.

V comfy, spacious & clean room. Location is quiet & a short walk from Echo Point & the Three Sisters, with a bus stop only 1 min away which takes you right into Katoomba town shops & the train station. Excellent restaurants & cafes on the main street in Katoomba with a wide variety of food.
