Since the declaration of the world-wide COVID-19 pandemic, we have instructed and trained our cleaner to thoroughly clean all touch-surfaces in accordance with the NSW Dept of Health recommendations. This includes the cleaning and sanitizing of all common touch-points (door handles, light switches, taps, furniture, horizontal surfaces, bed heads, remote controls, knobs etc) before and after each stay. During these uncertain times, we also ask our guests to observe appropriate social distancing and hand hygiene during their stay at Harry's Lookout to minimize the spread of the virus and thank you for your cooperation in advance.
If you are looking for a Working-Away-From-Home retreat, only an hour or so away from the city bustle, we have fast NBN internet and WIFI so why not head up to the fresh air in the mountains and work in Katoomba for a week!
Harry's Lookout is nestled between the upper mountain villages of Leura and Katoomba and is is ideally located for your relaxing, mountain retreat. Enjoy a gentle, 12 - 15 minute stroll to Leura Mall and enjoy the many cafes and galleries, or stroll 10 minutes the other way, through parkland and across a historic, stone bridge to all the attractions in Katoomba.
Harry’s Lookout offers charming bush and district views to the rear and a filtered view of Mt Solitary and the Jamison Valley from the front veranda.
The world famous Three Sisters, Scenic Railway & Skyway, Leura Cascades and many lookouts from Cliff Drive are a short distance from your doorstep. The newly renovated Hydro Majestic hotel is only 5 minutes drive away at Medlow Bath where you can be spoilt with High Tea or silver service dinner.
Both Katoomba and Leura are surrounded by the Blue Mountains National Park -- part of the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area. The back, bush garden at Harry's Lookout is a classified, Tree Preservation Area and we have kept this area as natural as possible to create a real mountains feel. When looking out from the back deck, you will feel you are living in the treetops.
