Faulconbridge family-friendly accommodations

Rooms (221 & 219) were large and clean. Bedding was comfortable and enjoyed a good couple of nights sleep. Coffee & Food was excellent although pricey (this is typical in any Accor facility to offset their Accor Club dining discounts). Staff were excellent (long suffering)from front of house to restaurant and housekeeping. Be prepared for pandemonium during the weekend with kids and tired or entitled parents. Huge range of activites (indoor/outdoor pools, taboggan, ice rink, gym, kids train etc) both at the hotel and nearby. Resort showing some signs of getting tired but overall still a good 4 star standard.

Lovely stay at the Gateway. The motel was clean and the dining options at the Vineyard and Tommy’s cafe were amazing. It also had onsite laundry facilities which was very convenient and the staff were friendly. It was our favourite motel stop driving from Queensland through to Melbourne.

Perhaps the only 5-star property when in Katoomba. Staff were courteous and friendly, the over hotel vibe honed a rather old British look. Very clean, some parts seem dated and a bit stiff. Gorgeous garden, especially around the outdoor pool.
