Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Orana, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Room 214, 217, 221, and 224 on the south side of the second floor have a better view of the surrounding landscape and receive the morning sun. Room 316 on the north side of the third floor has a view of the garden and is quieter than other rooms on that floor.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms 103, 106, 202, and 205 as they are near the lift shaft and the noise from the lift can be disturbing. Room 308 has a shared wall with the hotel's laundry room, which can be noisy during early morning hours.
Best views
The best views of the Blue Mountains are from the rooms on the south side of the second and third floors. These rooms receive the morning sun and offer a clear view of the surrounding landscape.
Quietest floors
The hotel is generally quiet, but the second floor is the quietest due to its distance from the road and the lift. Rooms on this floor are also less likely to be disturbed by noise from the hotel's restaurant.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel's restaurant can be noisy during peak hours, especially on weekends. The hotel's location on the main road can also make it difficult to avoid traffic noise.
Insider tips
Book a room with a garden view to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. If you're a light sleeper, consider booking a room on the second floor to minimize noise from the lift and the hotel's restaurant.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Book a table →💡 Booking tip: For popular restaurants in Blue Mountains, book at least a week ahead — especially for weekend evenings and during festival season.
Your arrival at Orana
🕒 Check-in is from 15:00. Arriving earlier? Most hotels store luggage free — just ask at reception.
🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Vindo ao redor
Sydney International Airport Station → Katoomba Station (Bellbirds is 1.5 km walk or short taxi)
💡 Tap on with an Opal card at the airport station (adds a $14.30 gate fee). Change at Central Station for the Blue Mountains line – sit on the left side leaving Sydney for valley views. Takes about 2 hours from airport to Katoomba.
Sydney Airport (SYD) → Bellbirds Bed and Breakfast, Katoomba
💡 Use a fixed-rate airport transfer service like Maxi Taxis or Katoomba Taxis to avoid meter surprises. Book ahead for a sedan; the drive via M4 is fastest outside peak 7-9am and 4-7pm.
Katoomba Station → Bellbirds Bed and Breakfast (Stop: Katoomba St near Bathurst Rd)
💡 Route 685 runs the loop. Get off at Katoomba Street near Bathurst Road – it's a 5-minute uphill walk to Bellbirds. Plan your exit before 5pm on weekends; after that a taxi from the station is $15.
Central Station, Sydney → Katoomba Station
💡 Standard off-peak fare is $8.40. Avoid the 6-hour ride – that's a car breakdown route. For the best sunset view, take the 3:30pm train from Central, arrive at Katoomba by 5:30pm, then walk 20 mins up to Echo Point before dark.

Principais atrações em Blue Mountains
💡 Go before 9am or after 4pm to avoid the coach crowds. The first sunlight hitting the sandstone is dramatic. Bring a jacket even in summer—it gets chilly on the escarpment.
💡 Walk down the Giant Stairway, then turn left at the bottom and follow the Federal Pass back to the Scenic Railway station. That way you skip the hardest climb back up. Total loop is about 1.5 hours. It's closed after heavy rain—check the NPWS website first.
💡 The rooftop cafe, Cargo Bar, has panoramic windows overlooking the valley. You can sit there without paying gallery entry. Friday nights they sometimes have free live music.
💡 The 'National Pass' section is steep and can be slippery after rain. Stick to the 'Overcliff/Undercliff' loop for a less punishing walk with equally good views. Start at the Conservation Hut car park to skip the busier main entrance.
💡 This is the least crowded of the major lookouts on weekends. Visit late afternoon for golden light on the cliffs. From the lookout you can descend the 'Govetts Leap Descent' track, but allow 2 hours to walk back up.
