While the Blue Mountains region outside of Sydney is filled with breathtaking scenery, most visitors will go straight to the famous Three Sisters outlook or elect the on rails experience of the "Scenic World" tour. However, if you are willing to venture off the beaten path just a bit, you can be rewarded with incredible viewpoints like this one where I was lucky enough to capture an incredible sunset in a location all to myself! Make sure you find your hidden gem next time you make a visit! #Trovember

If I could rate this hotel minus, I would do so. It is disgraceful that such a sub-par room is sold at all, much less for the price that is being charged. Staff were lovely and attempted to help, but no offer of an upgrade into a decent room. Carpets were beyond awful. It looked like someone had ...
