The Blue Mountains are filled with beautiful walking trails, rainforest pockets and cascading waterfalls. For families with younger children, choose shorter walks with plenty of opportunities to stop, explore and enjoy the scenery.
Parent tip: Check current track conditions and closures through NSW National Parks before heading out. Some trails have steep stairs and are unsuitable for prams.

Take a break from the big adventures and discover the charming mountain villages of Katoomba and Leura. Browse local shops, enjoy a café stop, discover sweet treats and explore the parks and gardens that make these mountain towns so special.

Sometimes the Best Adventures Happen Right Where You're Staying
Outdoor Fun & Fireside Memories
After a busy day exploring the Blue Mountains, some of the best family moments happen right where you're staying.
At Motel Echo Point, families can enjoy our outdoor lawn and picnic areas, perfect for a little downtime between adventures.
Challenge the kids to a game of giant Jenga, enjoy some friendly competition with our selection of outdoor games, or gather around the picnic tables for an easy family meal. Our outdoor games are complimentary for guests, making it simple to keep little explorers entertained without leaving the property.
With gas BBQ facilities available, you can also enjoy a relaxed family dinner in the fresh mountain air.
And as the evening settles in, gather around the outdoor fire pit at our neighbouring sister property, Montblu, for a little mountain magic. Toast marshmallows, share stories and enjoy some quality family time beneath the stars. It's a simple pleasure that little adventurers (and grown-ups!) will remember long after the holiday ends.
Because sometimes, the most memorable part of a family getaway isn't the big attractions, but the little moments shared together.
