Where to stay in Wentworth Falls
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Katoomba pulls most of the traffic. Wentworth Falls keeps a quieter register than Leura and Katoomba just west of it, while still holding the walks, the lookouts and the facilities that bring people up into the Blue Mountains. Rooms here answer to the Great Western Highway and to Wentworth Falls railway station, which puts the Main Western line within walking distance of arrivals from Sydney.
Yester Grange is the one heritage name attached to the town itself.
