Tour Stays?

We suggest to potential tour guests that when choosing one of our selected Day Hikes and/or Road Tours to importantly consider your travel accommodation (‘stays’) that are convenient (close by) to a given particular trip.

When holidaying, the appropriate stay becomes a very important feature for one’s quality visitation experience.

Nature Trail has been a local of the Blue Mountains for three decades. We have travelled extensively and have a detailed knowledge of many accommodation options throughout the following regions of the state of New South Wales (NSW) within Australia:

(A) Upper Blue Mountains

(B) NSW Central Tablelands

(C) NSW Southern Highlands

For any tour guest/guest group requesting booking of one of our tours, we highly recommend to stay overnight locally. This makes for a richer visit experience that is more relaxing, rather than driving off-Mountains and spending a trip mostly on a connecting motorway.

We are happy to suggest a range of accommodation options (‘stays’) located geographically convenient to a given tour of choice. Where Nature Trail has actually stayed in a given stay location, we sometimes write up a review of that stay experience, and include photos.

Each guest seeking an accommodated stay, needs to themselves directly arrange the stay and best at the time of booking a specific tour with Nature Trail.

IMPORTANTLY: However, please note that Nature Trail does not book accommodation for anyone. Booking a stay is the responsiblity of each tour guest, since Nature Trail is a specialist Tour Operator, but NOT a Travel Agent nor an Accommodation Provider of stays.

Nature Trail, if we’re notified well in advance is happy to discuss us providing/facilitating transport transfers to/from a given the stay location to our tour start location and return, so long as the stay location is reasonably close by.

Accommodation options can range from budget to luxury in both price and quality. The options can also range from 5-star resorts and indulgent retreats, to pubs, motels, self-contained, short-term holiday let, farm stays, glamping, and caravan parks to backpacker accommodation. However, we don’t include camp sites.

Whilst we point out that Nature Trail does not own travel accommodation property and is not a travel agent, we are able to assist our tour guests with informed local knowledge about quality accommodation options to best supplement our 2-Day Tours and our Multi-Day Tours.

It is in our mutual interests that our tour guests don’t just have a fantastic tour with us by day, but that the entire holiday experience including accommodation meets and hopefully exceeds our tour guests expectations. So just ask us at the time of your tour enquiry. Tel: +61-2-4782 1300.

The stays we describe on this website are simply those that personally appeal to Nature Trail’s Tour Leader. Each is listed under a location (village or area). None is a recommendation by Nature Trail, rather each is just one option to consider. It saves finsing on Google or third party agency websites. Each traveller has his/her own preferences, and what we like may of course not suit others.

Some of the stays we list and describe we have actually stayed in, otherwise if not, well we just recking it looks nice from the outside and is in a great location and suits our own personal style depending what trip we are doing.

For each listing, we include just the website of each, since details tend to change over time.

We do recommend where possible to always try to enquire and book accommodation directly with the owner of the accommodation service.

We do NOT recommend travellers book through third party intermediaries like: Stayz | Bookings.com | AirBnb | TripAdvisor.

Such are all foreign to Australia, multi-national owned based in America and which we consider exploitative and if something goes wrong then a guest is on their own. So instead, we recommend to book directly with the local accommodation establishment itself and talk with its respective boss!
