How to get to Jenolan Caves Cottages
Click here to link to the Camp location on Google maps
Driving From Sydney, take the M4 Motorway travelling west through the Blue Mountains, Katoomba and Mt. Victoria on the Great Western Highway. Shortly after Victoria Pass, the Jenolan Caves turnoff is found just past the village of Hartley. Turning left, this road passes through Hampton and it is approximately 35kms to the Jenolan Caves Cottages, about 8km before the Jenolan Caves Valley itself.
If you are visiting Jenolan from the direction of Sydney, Katoomba and Lithgow, the last section of the road into the Jenolan Valley is one way from 11.45am to 1.15pm everyday. This allows coaches to enter Jenolan safely on the narrow road. Visitors can still leave Jenolan during these times - via the Oberon Road which is now fully sealed.
From Canberra, bypass busy Sydney and drive via Goulburn and Taralga, using the newly sealed 'Tablelands Way'. It's a beautiful, picturesque drive - only 3 hours to Jenolan.
There is no fuel available at Jenolan. When travelling from Sydney the last service station is at Mount Victoria or Lithgow. When travelling from Bathurst or Canberra, the last service station is at Oberon or Bathurst.
The road into the Jenolan Caves Valley is not suitable for caravans.
Public Transport There are no public transport arrangements to Jenolan Caves. Catch a train to Katoomba and then hop on a coach to Jenolan (A.A.T. Kings, Blue Mountains Bus Co and Fantastic Aussie Tours.)
