Clean beds, warm showers, quiet at night, free dvd/boardgames to rent, and a clean pool me and my son can enjoy! Great service and staff as well which made my stay even better at the Sky Rider Motor Inn! Made my stay at Katoomba extra better!

We booked late, arrived late and found our room to be beautiful and clean. Our room was upgraded as we needed room for a cot, so nice.
Was lovely to arrive on a cold night with a toddler and find our heater was turned on and the babys cot set up for us. Quality coffee, and plenty of milk and biscuits. We could not have been happier with our stay. Thank you! We will stay again!!

A perfectly nice, simple place to stay. Silence at night time and toasty warm bedding ensured a good night's sleep. Easy 20-minute walk into the town centre and train station. Special mention goes to the staff, who were incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond at all times. It will certainly be my first choice for future stays.

We have here a few times and every time they can't do enough to make our stays comfortable. Kerry & Jamie should be proud of the way they treat their guests. We will continue to base ourselves at the Sky Rider whenever we are in Katoomba.
