We hold 114 venues in Katoomba — 64 places to eat and 50 to stay. That makes it the 16th-largest of the 1903 towns and suburbs we cover in New South Wales, carrying 1% of the region's venues.

Of the places to eat, 42% are cafés against a national figure of 30%. Katoomba is 12 points more café-heavy than the country as a whole, which usually points to daytime and weekend trade rather than an evening dining scene. The full split is 27 cafés, 23 restaurants, 10 takeaways and 4 pubs.

36 of the 64 eating places carry a cuisine tag. The most common are coffee shop (6), sandwich (5) and thai (4). Relative to the rest of the country Katoomba is unusually strong on thai, sandwich and coffee shop — those appear here at a higher rate than the national average.

On the practical detail: 30 publish opening hours (26%), 5 are recorded as step-free, 9 have outdoor seating and 15 flag vegetarian options. Coverage here is better than the 17% national average, so the hours below are more reliable than most.

For a bed, Katoomba runs to 50 listings — 7 hotels, 6 motels, 17 b&bs and guest houses, 7 hostels, 11 serviced apartments and 2 holiday parks and campgrounds. B&bs and guest houses dominate, at 34% of the town's accommodation. Accommodation is 44% of everything mapped here, well above the 25% national share — the signature of a place that hosts more visitors than it has residents.

Places of a similar size — Tamworth (114), Mildura (114), Bunbury (114) and Springvale (113) — average 19% accommodation. Katoomba runs at 44%, noticeably more, which is what a place that takes in visitors looks like.

All of this is derived from open data rather than collected from listings sites: OpenStreetMap for the venues, public registers for verification. 2 of the 114 venues in Katoomba carry at least six recorded attributes and so have a page of their own; the rest are listed here, because a page with only a name and a map pin on it would be worth nobody's time. A blank field means unrecorded, not absent. Nothing here is scraped from a commercial directory, no venue has paid to appear, and we publish no ratings or reviews of our own.
