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, lot more.
Base yourself in Mount Victoria and spend some time enjoying this lovely village.
Enjoy the retro and iconic Mount Vic Flicks, our very own cinema, visit the Mt Victoria Museum or enjoy gourmet meals and wine at one of the restaurants. Step back in time and visit the truly historic Mount Victoria train station – it’s like stepping onto a set of an Agatha Christie novel – or simply explore our eclectic shops or antique stores.
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.
