How Blue Mountains Australia (bluemts.com.au) Helps with Accommodation and Local Business Information
Updated
Blue Mountains Australia (bluemts.com.au) is a regional visitor and community portal for the Blue Mountains area of New South Wales. It brings visitor information, accommodation listings, local business content, community news, events, and weather into one place, and it sits within the Stralia Web regional network, so you can move between this site and related regional pages. Use it as a starting point when you are planning a trip, looking for a place to stay, or trying to find businesses operating in the mountains.
What the site covers
The site is organised around a few main areas:
- Visitor Information – an overview of the region and what it offers, aimed at people planning a visit.
- Accommodation – a section for finding places to stay in the Blue Mountains.
- Business in the Mountains – a directory-style section for local businesses and the professional community.
- Community – information about local life, clubs, associations, schools, churches, and sporting activities.
- Events and News – festivals, events, and regional updates.
- Weather – current conditions and a 7-day forecast for the area.
The homepage also includes a "Have You Visited" section and a link to Stralia Web's Regional Network, which connects this site to other regional sites in the same network.
Finding accommodation
The site's accommodation section is the natural entry point if you need somewhere to stay. The region is described as suitable for both romantic getaways and family escapes, and the visitor information highlights options such as day spas, dining, galleries, shopping, and golf alongside the better-known natural attractions.
A practical way to use it:
- Start from the accommodation section rather than the general visitor pages, so you are filtering for places to stay first.
- Cross-check the location against what you want to do — the Blue Mountains is made up of distinct villages, each with its own character, so where you stay affects how easily you reach Echo Point, the Three Sisters, or bushwalking trails.
- Use the events and weather sections to time your visit, since both affect what is practical on a given day.
The site does not publish prices in the material available, so treat it as a discovery and orientation tool rather than a booking engine. Confirm rates and availability directly with the accommodation provider.
Local business information
The "Business in the Mountains" section is aimed at the region's professional and business community. According to the site, the Blue Mountains sits within a World Heritage area and offers a relaxed environment for a certain lifestyle, with a diverse professional business community. Many local businesses supply products and services distributed across Sydney, nationally, and internationally.
This makes the section useful if you are:
- Looking for a local supplier or service while visiting or living in the region.
- Researching the business landscape before relocating or starting something in the mountains.
- Trying to understand how local businesses connect to wider Sydney and national markets.
Community, events, and the regional network
The community section describes each village as unique with a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere, and notes that festivals and events are organised by business and community volunteers. It also lists activities, clubs, associations, government and private schools, churches, and sporting activities.
The Stralia Web Regional Network link is worth noting if you are researching more than one region: it lets you navigate from this site to other regional sites in the same network without starting a new search.
