We enjoyed the perfectly peaceful bush time, the bird song, tall gums and
particularly the history and character of the cottage, so attractively and comfortably retained as it was in 1900.

Kurrara is a beautiful 1902 house, furnished in the style of the period and settled in a well maintained mountains garden.
The rooms are pleasant, the dining room charming and lounge, which is pictured, is a cosy place to read, chat or watch television.
It is an easy walk to Echo Point, with its views of the Three Sisters and the valley, and the walks which start there and in the opposite direction to Katoomba village, with its range of places to browse and dine.
Last of my likes, but by no...

If you are after a relaxed getaway this is the place to be. It's a beautiful estate surrounded by trees. We stayed at a loft room, it is modern, big and clean. Highly recommended for people who want to stay out of tourist area.

The Carrington retains a wonderful old world charm with its Grand Dining room and Art Decor theme. Norman Lindsay pictures are everywhere. It retains some delightful old style features like a rickety lift, yet we still enjoyed a spa in our room after a hard day bushwalking which was just perfect.
Had a game of snooker on a full sized billiard table in a delightful lounge area. Didn't even have to brave the cold outdoors at night as we we were able to dine in the lovely old dining room with...

Very clean & warm. Bed was also very comfortable. Friendly staff & we liked the fresh milk touch for our tea on checkin! Rooms are basic but have everything you need. Considering the location & alternative accomodation nearby this is great value for money

We’ve never used a YHA before and thought at 79 we were probably way too old to start. However we were completely wrong it was perfect for our needs, quiet despite having 2 large groups of school children and the staff apologetic for the noise which we only heard when they were arriving at a reasonable time Right next door to an Aldi and on the main street of Katoomba it could not be more convenient. Our ensuite double was clean and comfortable and fully equipped.

Our one night stay at Silvermere exceeded our expectations, the photos on the website did not do the beauty of this B&B any justice. My family of 4 stayed in the Maids Quarters which was warm, cosy, comfortable and so clean - the bed linen was divine. The owners were highly service oriented, offering some great ideas on what to see and do, they served up a quality breakfast overlooking the beautiful gardens. We would stay here again!

We stayed for two nights and we loved it. We had an amazing view of the Blue Mountains from our room. We loved the historic building and that the room had been modernised without taking away from the heritage of the hotel. Would definitely stay again!

The best time to visit Newnes Plateau is during the autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November) months.
These seasons offer the most comfortable weather for exploring the area's natural beauty. You'll find mild temperatures, generally sunny days, and less chance of extreme heat or cold, which makes outdoor activities like hiking and canyoning much more enjoyable.
For those keen on outdoor adventures, particularly hiking through the canyons or exploring the Glow Worm Tunnel, spring and autumn provide ideal conditions. The tracks are typically drier, and the moderate temperatures prevent overheating during strenuous walks, making for a more pleasant and extensive exploration of the plateau's unique geological formations.
Winter (June to August) can also be a good option for visitors who don't mind cooler weather, especially if you're interested in cosying up by a fire after a day of exploring. However, some tracks might be muddy, and nights can get quite cold.
