Kyah Boutique Hotel
The bohemian Blue Mountains village of Blackheath is home to Kyah Boutique Hotel, a 1970s-era motel that has been reimagined with a ‘luxe’ touch. The 46-room, family-owned hotel sits on two exquisite acres, embodying everything travellers desire in a modern mountain retreat.
More cutting-edge than kitsch, Kyah Boutique Hotel is what happens when fresh mountain air collides with Palm Springs-inspired design. Think on-trend archways, curves and cutaway interiors; Art Deco-inspired furnishings and an abundance of space, resulting in an elegant (but playful) escape from suburbia. Be sure to book in for dinner at the on-site restaurant BLAQ for a hyper-local feast.
13-17 Brightlands Avenue, Blackheath

Cosy yet stylish bedrooms and an outdoor deck and garden, this mountain getaway caters to year-round getaways.

The Carrington
A heritage-listed hotel set in the middle of town, The Carrington is not only a local landmark, but it offers elegant hotel-style Blue Mountains accommodation.

Hydro Majestic
For a nostalgic stay in one of the most iconic buildings in the Blue Mountains, the Hydro Majestic is it.

Eden Farm Escape
An equestrian adventure where animals and nature sit harmoniously side by side, Eden Farm Escape ticks every box on our luxury list. From fruit picking and nature hikes to dog walks and horse riding, city slickers can relax, unwind, and get back to nature at this rustic sanctuary. The Blue Mountains are literally on your doorstep for wildlife walks and challenging hikes, but you'd be forgiven for wanting to stay within the confines of Eden's white-fenced green paddocks. Animal lovers can get up close and personal with the resident farm folk – you'll find donkeys, alpacas, goats, sheep, cows, and pigs roaming the grounds – as well as 12 horses and ponies in their equine centre, so you can book in for a couple’s horse-riding lesson if it takes your fancy. They're dog-friendly too, so you can bring your furry friend along for the ride.
