Where To Stay In Blue Mountains

If you’re looking for Blue Mountains accommodation ideas and not sure where to stay in Blue Mountains, we’ve found 13 beautiful and unique places that you’ll have the most amazing weekend away.

There’s so many things to to in Blue Mountains that we’ve covered it from hikes to waterfalls to a romantic getaway from Sydney, there’s much more to the Blue Mountains National Park than just going to the Three Sisters Lookout.

If you’re wondering where to stay in Blue Mountains and want to have the option of staying somewhere that’s budget friendly, or in a secluded cabin, a spa or a unique option, we’ve got it all covered in this post.


1. Stay in a tiny house

Something that’s got us very excited is the idea of staying in a tiny house with In2thewild Tiny Holidays. With locations all over the Greater Sydney area including as far South as the Goulburn area and as far North as The Hunter Valley (and a new addition in Melbourne), each tiny house has been specifically positioned as a getaway that couldn’t be further off the grid if you tried.

With no phone reception, this is a getaway to really connect with nature and get away from it all. The owners of these eco friendly cabins have specifically partnered up with local farmers to provide you with the ultimate secluded getaway to switch off from city life.

Each tiny house has it’s own name and we recommend staying in the Greater Blue Mountains cabin called Christopher which is located in between Wollemi and Yengon National Parks. It’s a minimum stay of 2 nights and costs from $173 a night to stay in Christopher.

4. YHA Blue Mountains

KatoombaBlue-mountains-yha

The Blue Mountains YHA is a brilliant place to stay because of its location.

When we stayed here, everyone from backpackers to hikers to families and other couples were staying at this fantastic YHA in Blue Mountains. It has all mod cons with a great shared kitchen and you can even get a double room with ensuite.

Did we mention there’s even central heating in your room? It makes for a fantastic, cosy getaway from Sydney and the best part is, the staff are so helpful and knowledgable, they will be able to offer up loads of advice about what to see and do in Blue Mountains.

Even though it’s a centrally located budget Blue Mountains accommodation option, it’s super quiet at night time and we got an excellent sleep here at this YHA.

If you’re travelling alone, Blue Mountains YHA has a walking register so you can sign in and out if you’re going bushwalking as a safety measure. This means that if you happen to get lost, help will be on its way! You can also take some personal locator beacons from the Katoomba Police Station which is located next door to Blue Mountains YHA as well.

Rates for Blue Mountains YHA cost from $25 for an 8 bed dorm, $90 for a double with ensuite and $132 for a 4 bed family room with ensuite.

6. Blue Mountains Camping

Blackheath & Newnes
<em>Free camping at Newnes Campground <em>

We recommend checking out Perry’s Lookdown Campground which is very basic but it’s hidden away so we doubt you’ll see any crowds there.

Another Blue Mountains camping option is to go a bit further away in the Wolgan Valley and check out Newnes. There’s an incredible free campground and loads of hikes to do there.

Our favourite was doing the glow worm tunnel hike in Newnes. There’s various routes to take with as little as just 20 minutes of walking to get there. Newnes campground also has a river next to it so if you’re visiting in Summer, you can cool off in it.


7. For the spa lovers
