The Three Sisters rock formation towers over Katoomba, where you can ride the world's steepest railway at Scenic World. Hike along clifftop trails in the Blue Mountains National Park or browse local art galleries before stopping for tea in a heritage café.
Amazing property, very welcoming and friendly staff. We got the lovely cabin which has its own spa and it was very comfy, with a fire in the chimney as we got it. Very calm and peaceful. The location in the countryside is far but worth the trip. There is tennis and pool table on site. We even got to feed the alpacas!

Incredible experience thanks to fantastic hosts and a wonderful property. The Chalet was exactly what we were hoping for from a stay in Blue Mountains which was a little off the beaten path but still with good train access to Katoomba etc.
The owners are incredibly accommodating and welcoming, making for a very personal experience. Other than the hospitality, a highlight has to be the visiting parrots and other wildlife in the area.
Breakfast is light and perfect for what you need to start...

The guesthouse was in a residential and quiet area but walkable to the town and nearby national park walks. Although I drove there I didnt use the car once I arrived. My room was very comfortable and I enjoyed the breakfast in the morning. I would love to return and be able to stay longer.

We had a great stay, the staff were super helpful, the food was superb in the restaurant, the amenities were great. The room was good, I would like to see a few more pictures and maybe more soft furnishings, but overall great value

We spent one night here on our way to the Wolgan Valley.
It is in a great location right on the Escarpment and a five minute walk to Echo Point. The rooms are a little dated but comfortable. There is no evening turn down service nor any complimentary bottled water in the room, rather surprising for a 4/5 star rated hotel. We had a wonderful Asian meal in Miss Lilian’s Tea Room restaurant. The service and staff there were fabulous. Breakfast was good with all the usual fruits, cereals, juices...

Place was full of character with complimentary food, John kindly let us leave our luggage there while we went hiking after checkout and before our train back to Sydney. Room was spotless with fresh flowers when we arrived.

Motels in places like Lithgow have to cater for the overnight stayers/travelers who want a good bed and shower plus an early breakfast to their room. They also like to park in front of their rooms.
The motels management also have to please those who are staying longer as tourists to the region (Hint: Lithgow is a great staging place for the Upper Blue Mountains and futher west).
This motel covers both needs really well, with all the stuff for a good sleep etc plus a clean pool and laundry...

Madison Mountain Retreat is exactly what it says. A retreat in the Mountains, away from pesky 'real world' interferences of internet, email, phone calls, texts etc.
Blissfully peaceful, rustic, but lovely cabins, lively alpacas, glorious birdsong, beautiful surrounds.
The staff are lovely and friendly, and will supply basic foodstuffs (bread, milk, cheese, bacon) on requests, as well as eggs daily from their free range hens.
This is a wonderful place to unwind and relax.
There's plenty to do...
