Was a lovely location. A shame there was no laundry room at the property and did find the room a bit cramped. But overall was clean and tidy.

3 Explorers Motel is our preferred stay in Katoomba .... and have stayed many times. You will note COUNCIL PAID PARKING everywhere .... but just park your car in 3 Explorers for FREE.... and walk down to 3 Sisters ... or round to Scenic World ... or up to RSL, Canton Palace, Carrington Hotel et all. Local Bus stop right out front ... great if you walk cliff top walk to Leura .... and catch train then bus back. 3 Explorers Motel rooms nice and cosy ... including Heated Bed warmers and great A/C heating. Hot shower with great pressure. Big TICK from us .... again !!!

We couldn't have asked for a better location! Very close to the Three Sisters viewpoint, and other beautiful views and trails. We just had a little difficulty adjusting the hot water in the bathroom. Room was spacious and comfortable with fridge, microwave, coffee and tea.
