Mount Victoria is unique within the Blue Mountains.  Not only is it the highest point in the Blue Mountains – and the most westerly point before you descend – it’s the most historic, heritage-listed village in the mountains.

Established in 1868, Mount Victoria was a popular place to escape the heat for wealthy Sydney families.  Taking the train into this picturesque ‘hill-station’, they’d stay in mansions and luxury guest houses. Today, it’s a more modern mountain village, but you can still stay in beautiful hotels, luxurious historic guesthouses and cottages though, perhaps unexpectedly, you can also do a lot more.

You may think that you’ve ‘been there and done that”  in the Blue Mountains, but Mount Victoria is the perfect place to rethink and delve a little deeper.  You’ll be surprised by the wonderful and unexpected things that Mount Victoria has to offer.

Base yourself in Mount Victoria and spend some time enjoying this lovely village. And being only 5 minutes from Blackheath and 15 minutes from Katoomba, it’s the perfect place to also explore everything that the upper mountains have to offer.

From unique antique wares to quirky gift shops, luxurious heritage accommodation and lodge cabins, Mount Victoria is truly historic and unexpected. And it’s the home of the iconic Mount Vic Flicks and the Mount Victoria Museum too.

Enjoy gourmet meals and wine or step back in time and sneak in a Devonshire Tea at a beautiful tea house. Take in the amazing views at Sunset Rock, enjoy a bush walk and see Victoria Falls or journey back in time at Mount York and see where the three explorers discovered how to finally cross the Blue Mountains and get to the other side.

Mount Victoria has so much to offer, both within its historic-self but also as a base for all the close-by attractions, that it makes a perfect place to rethink the Blue Mountains and discover an historic and unexpected place to eat, stay, shop and play.

All Roads Lead to The V&A – NO ROAD CLOSURE HERE!

Planning a trip up the mountains? And why wouldn’t you.  Autumn is upon us and we already have trees turning their incredible browns and reds.

 

We’ve had a few questions about the the Mitchells Bridge closure at Victoria Pass which is beyond Mount Victoria, on the way towards the west.  So here is the latest “local’s guide” to getting here and beyond:

  • Coming from Sydney? It is business as usual! The Great Western Highway is wide open all the way to Mount Victoria. The closure starts west of us, so your drive to the guesthouse is completely unaffected.

  • Heading further West? (Lithgow, Bathurst, Orange) If you are continuing your journey past us toward the Central West, you’ll just need to take the scenic route. Turn onto the Darling Causeway at Mount Victoria to join Bells Line of Road (the “Old Highway”) through Bell. It’s a beautiful drive and will get you safely around the pass and on your way to Lithgow.

 

Pro Tip: Give yourself an extra 15–20 minutes for the detour if you’re heading west—it’s worth it for the views!

We can’t wait to see you for a cozy stay in the village!
