The Katoomba Falls Kiosk, nestled within Katoomba Falls Reserve, has been an iconic part of the Blue Mountains landscape for more than a century. 

From its humble beginnings as a tent known as ‘Blighty’ in the late 1800s, to the brick structure that stands today, the Katoomba Falls Kiosk has long been a beloved place where visitors have gathered to rest, relax, and marvel at the magnificent views.

The heritage-listed building has now been refreshed and repurposed, offering a chance to enjoy coffee and food with some of the most breathtaking views over the Jamison Valley.

Blue Mountains Mayor Mark Greenhill will attend to officially open the local landmark.

“This historic building holds a special place in our hearts, and its reopening means residents and visitors alike can once again enjoy the welcoming atmosphere and incredible location,” said Cr Greenhill.

“The Council-run kiosk will generate an income stream for Council, which will be reinvested back into the community. 

“It also offers hireable meeting and event spaces, providing a versatile venue for individuals, groups, and businesses at an affordable rate.

“I am looking forward to getting together with the community to celebrate the next chapter in this iconic building’s long history.”

The Katoomba Falls Kiosk is open from 8am to 4pm, seven days a week. 

The opening event will take place from 10am on 15 and 16 March at Katoomba Falls Kiosk, Cliff Dr, Katoomba. There is no need to RSVP, just bring your friends and family for a weekend of fun. Dogs are welcome, however must be kept on leads.
