Opening in April 2001 the new Blue Mountains YHA brings the glory days of Katoomba in the 1920s-30s back to life. Our fully renovated Art Deco guesthouse retains its original charm (as well as its Cabaret stage & sprung dance floor !) but with all the great, modern facilities that you would expect from a YHA. Different sized dorm rooms offer the budget traveller great choice & couples are catered for with lots of doubles & twins on offer (many with private bathroom). Families can choose private family rooms with ensuites or cheaper dorm options. Blue Mountains YHA offers 24 hour security access, a large off street parking area, lockers in all dorms plus day storage. So why not relax by roaring fires, socialise on our great outdoor terrace or lie in the garden and soak up the ambience of the beautiful Blue Mountains.
Located only 650m from the railway station, the YHA is on Katoomba’s main drag with heaps of groovy cafes & restaurants, pubs/live music venues, antique dealers & interesting shops right on our doorstep.With only a 10 minute walk to the National Park you have easy access to one of Australia’s most beautiful wilderness areas that offers walking tracks for all levels of fitness (self-guided or with a qualified eco guide) plus fantastic adventure options such as abseiling, canyoning and rockclimbing. Go mountain biking or visit the famous limestone caves at Jenolan? All sound too energetic? Then check out the area’s glorious gardens & art galleries, feed your caffeine addiction, have a massage, or try yoga or meditation. Adventure or relaxation - it’s your choice.
