    I liked the styling (black and white always looks good) and the modest refurbishment of the site. Comparatively good value for this location. The reception experience was friendly and professional. Thank you!

    - A bit pricey - Check out too early (at 10am) - No room service during Easter break, but compensated with a choice of snack box or a bottle of wine

    Location - a short 4 minutes walk to Three Sisters Lookout where it has a restaurant and a picnic area. Across the road there is a bus stop to take you to Scenic World (Main cable car+rail train station), Katoomba Falls picnic area and Cascade Waterfall that leads you to other cliff walk. - Queen bed is comfy, sofa bed is doubly large, clean shower, very quiet - Free car park on site right in front of our room - Friendly staff, great communication during booking for confirmation

    Met expectations for a motel but it doesn’t have much character. Once in the motel you could be anywhere in the world. The sister motel where breakfast and common room facilities are is in the town, which is easy to get to if you have a car (5min) but about a 30min walk. Wifi was very temperamental. The room type I got mentioned it could either be configured to 2 single beds or 1 king bed so I assumed this would be an easy change if needed, but when I sent a request the day before and followed up with a phone call the morning of check in I was told it wasn’t possible with all rooms - I think this was down to me just not making the change request in time though.

    Can’t beat this location if you want to be near the 3 Sisters - it’s expensive for a motel, but the value is in the location.

    The decor is all rather forlorn.The kitchen counter is disintergrating . The chip board it's made of is full of holes. There was dust under the beds and mould in the shower. The blind in kitchen is broken. A toaster, plates, bowls and cutlery would be useful.

    The shower was hot with good pressure. The motel was quiet.

    The bed was soft to begin with then it started to sag more, eventually turned the other way and was much better.

    Great location to see echo point, easy walk to Lilianfels park. Great shower. Easy to relax on the lounge. Our room was upstairs and felt very private.

    Excellent location and value for a short stay! We stayed at Echo Point Discovery Motel for one night on 5 April and really enjoyed the convenience of its location. It’s just a short walk to the Three Sisters, Echo Point lookout and several scenic walking trails around the cliffs. Perfect spot if you’re looking to explore the Blue Mountains without needing to drive everywhere. The room was basic but clean and comfortable—ideal for a short trip. Staff were friendly and check-in was smooth. Great value for money given how close it is to all the key attractions. Would definitely recommend for anyone after a budget-friendly stay in a prime location!

    The room was incredibly damp. The fridge is in a non ventilated cupboard. The air con doesn't remove any moisture from the room. The room was newly refurbished and beautiful, but the moisture problems need to be fixed, or the rooms will deteriorate very quickly.

    Fantastic location and comfort. Parking was appreciated. We walked to the information centre at Echo Point and The Three Sisters. Katoomba Falls and Scenic World was a few minutes' drive away or easy walk.. We walked the two km to Katoomba Train Station, as Uber was unavailable, and buses didn't run early on the Sunday. Caught the train to Sydney, 2 hour trip but enjoyable. Loved our stay at Echo Point Discovery Motel.

    Noisy hallway as no carpet to absorb sound and all room doors need to be banged to shut. Disturbing when people leave early in the morning while others are still asleep

    Great location for Echo Point and walks to Scenic World. Amazing views over Blue Mountains from the cliff path
