Some 70 miles west of Sydney, 3000 ft up in the Blue Mountains is Katoomba, surrounded by lush bush country with escarpments and rocky outcrops alive with exotic wildlife unique to Australia. The big attractions are the scenic railway, the Three Sisters and Echo Point, home of Echoes Boutique Hotel & Restaurant. The hotel settled into its mountainside eerie to survey a vast and dreamlike paradise. More than that, house and garden are beautifully planned and built to make this idyllic vision your constant companion. And all the while, you will be spoilt to the core. With only 14 luxury suites, one feels splendidly privileged. Comfort levels run deep and, for those who need it, there is wireless Internet connection. Food lovers will appreciate the way locally sourced ingredients are combined to create a Modern Australian/Fusion style of cuisine, made all the more tantalising by the dramatic ambience of the astonishing view.

| Route Description: |
The M4 freeway is the main westerly arterial route that will take you to the base of the Blue Mountains.
The M4 becomes the Great Western Highway at the base of the Mountains. Follow the Great Western Highway for about 60 Kilometres until you reach Katoomba.
Turn left at the second set of traffic lights which takes you over a small railway bridge (signposted for Echo Point). Turn left at the roundabout into ‘Main Street’. Take the first right into ‘Katoomba Street’, the main business street of Katoomba (opposite entrance to Railway Station).
Katoomba Street is a long straight road that turns sharp left about one kilometre from the town centre. Katoomba Street becomes Lilianfels Avenue at this point.
Echoes Boutique Hotel & Restaurant is directly in front of you at this point. We are next door to Lilianfels Hotel.
