Blue Mountains Motels | Places to Stay in Blue Mountains

May 27, 2023 Jeremy Dunfee

The Blue Mountains are named for the delicate azure haze that lingers along the region, which is actually a fine cloud of oil emitted by eucalyptus trees. The mystical mountains are a labyrinth of plateaus, gorges and gum trees. Check out the Katoomba Scenic Railway (the steepest railway in the world), the Jenolan Caves and the Giant Staircase nature walk.

Our walking group booked a number of rooms at the High Mountains Motor Inn. Peggy went above and beyond to accommodate our individual needs starting with a phone call to everyone prior to arrival. A seamless check in to clean and comfortable accommodation where everything worked well. We enjoyed the BBQ area as a group and the camp kitchen made it easy to clean up afterwards. Highly recommended especially for groups.

Value for Money

Sky Motor Inn is a good option for drivers exploring Blue Mountains. It is located a short 3 min drive to Katoomba town and just outside the Great Western Highway. Check in was fast and staff gave a quick run down on the places of interests with helpful suggestions. Room is of decent space (we booked a Family Room for 5 which comes with one large bed, 3 single beds, a dining set and bathroom) and clean. Place is quiet despite it having high occupancy rate (judging by the number of parked cars).

Need to be brought back to life

The good things. Really close to town and main Street. The best were comfortable enough and had the basic amenities you need. The not so good things . The motel (just like the town it self) was extremely dated. We went peak season so paid a fair penny but it was a bit over priced for its condition. It smelt if mould and wet, the carpets were stained and looked ruined. The shower had absolutely no pressure and was hard to wash in.

Great family room with a slant

Reviewed By AllPlanet

My family spent two nights here and found the room size comfortable. My girls loved the bunk beds. Great location within walking distance to sites, cafes, art places..etc. management tired but friendly. The floor had a slant on it and it was like being on a ship but I guess that is the charm of a semi historic property. Would stay again without hesitation.

Close to town

Reviewed By Sharport67

If you just want a bed this is the place to stay, very basic, close to town and not very inviting. Wifi and Netflix did not work and it was rather dated. Better places to stay but ok for the convenience of being closer to town. Would not stay here again

Family get together

Reviewed By cooley222

I had 5 adults booked in to the Hawkesbury Race Club Motel for 2 nights so we could attend a family get together. the rooms were comfortable, nice & spacious. We had 2 in one room & 3 in the other, the layout was good & it was great having a microwave & sink. Probably the only fault was the rooms we were in had the shower in the bath which made it awkward to get in & out especially for an 89 year old although it did have a rail to assist getting in & out.
