| Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area |
Create an unforgettable multi-day escape with world-class nature, cultural, historical, lifestyle and adventure activities and experiences including the world's steepest railway at Scenic World; the coolest garden at Blue Mountains Botanic Garden, Mount Tomah; and the famous Three Sisters rock formations.
Then, relax and recharge every night at one of the Escarpment Group luxury collection of distinctive properties encapsulating heritage, indulgence and character at its very best.
Each of the Escarpment Group luxury collection of hotels are remarkable to the Blue Mountains – Lilianfels Resort and Spa, Echoes Boutique Hotel & Restaurant, The Hydro Majestic Hotel and Parklands Country Gardens & Lodges, steeped in history and surrounded by dramatic landscapes and breathtaking views.
Escarpment Group general manager Ralf Bruegger said: ``Right on Sydney's doorstep, the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area is one of the most spectacular places on the planet – and our guests have a front row view because our properties are right on the edge of the escarpment.
``It is easy to absorb how vast a million hectares of wilderness is by watching the sky change colour over the Jamison Valley while dining at Echoes Restaurant or taking a sunset stroll down to Echo Point Lookout from Lilianfels.
``Just a two minute drive or 10 minute jog down the road to Govetts Leap Lookout from our Parklands property, watch the cliffs light up at sunrise, and the Wintergarden restaurant at the Hydro Majestic has one of the most envied views of the Megalong Valley in the region (and the hotel is an attraction itself, of course).''
Guests are encouraged to fully immerse themselves in the region, one of only 16 iconic National Landscapes recognised by Tourism Australia and Parks Australia.
``There are more than 140km of walking trails in the Greater Blue Mountains where you can take in a generous dose of fresh mountain air and see hundreds of plant and animal species found nowhere else,'' Mr Bruegger said.
``While there are many native animals in the wilderness surrounding our properties, for an up close and personal experience with creatures such as koalas, kangaroos, wombats and emus, drop in to Featherdale Wildlife Park on your way to or from the Greater Blue Mountains,'' Mr Bruegger said.
No trip to the Greater Blue Mountains is complete without a visit to Scenic World overlooking the world-famous Three Sisters landmark at Katoomba and home to the world's steepest passenger train, the highest and largest cablecars in Australia and the longest boardwalk in Australia.
Located in the upper Blue Mountains, all Escarpment Group properties also make excellent bases from which to explore further afield at attractions such as the cool climate Blue Mountains Botanic Garden at Mount Tomah and Jenolan Caves.
Regarded as Australia's most outstanding cave system with 11 spectacular show caves, pure underground rivers and amazing formations, Jenolan Caves is among the finest and oldest cave systems in the world. Take advantage of fascinating guided tours and activities to suit every age and fitness level.
