Katoomba Hotels

Katoomba, the principal town of the City of Blue Mountains, with altitude of 1030 m and 100 km west of Sydney. It is well known for spectacular mountain views and extensive bush and nature walks in the surrounding Blue Mountains range. Ka-toom-ba is Aboriginal for “shining falling water” and takes its name from a waterfall that drops into the Jamison Valley below the Harry's Amphitheatre escarpment. It is homes to the Three Sisters, the stunning rock shape overlooking the Jamison Valley that one of Aboriginal legends of the three sisters were turned to be rocks as being protected. Must-do things are to enjoy the view at the Echo Point, to take a bushwalk or a 4WD drive, and to learn abseiling. Excellent accommodation, restaurants and cafés make Katoomba a great base for exploring the Blue Mountains.
