The 3 Explorers Motel

Perched on Katoomba's mountain rim, this mini-motel sits a short walk from the Three Sisters and Echo Point Lookout. In the heart of Katoomba and within about 10 minutes on foot of the major cliff-top views, it’s a family-friendly base for Blue Mountains sightseeing, Katoomba Scenic World, Leura Cascades and nearby waterfalls.

With just 15 individually decorated rooms the vibe is quiet and boutique. Rooms include refrigerators, microwaves, desks, air conditioning and 40‑cm LCD TVs, with daily housekeeping and complimentary Wi‑Fi. Guests can enjoy garden views and a small, friendly front desk (note: not 24‑hour).

Complimentary wireless internet across the property, a garden to soak up mountain mornings, and on-site tour/ticket assistance to book hikes and local sights. Free self-parking is available and breakfast is offered for a fee — simple comforts for an easy Blue Mountains stay.

Express check-out, luggage storage, dry cleaning/laundry services and a safe deposit box at the front desk. Free self parking and practical conveniences make this motel an efficient choice for working travelers.

An on-site restaurant serves guests and breakfast is available for a fee. For casual local options, nearby Papadino's Katoomba Pizzeria and Rene's Pizza Place offer easy Italian-style meals.
