Important update - 9th April 2024: Due to a landslide at Megalong Road, the car access to the Six Foot Track from Megalong Road is not possible as the Megalong Road remains closed.
The Six Foot Track remains open and walkers have multiple options to get the Eco Lodge:
- Park the car at Explorer’s Tree and walk 16km to the Eco Lodge
- Drive down Glen Chee Road, which is a 45 minute drive off Great Western Highway in Little Hartley. The road is in a good state, it was graded this March for the Six Foot Track marathon. A 4WD or SUV is preferrable, but a higher clearance car will get you to us just fine.
- If you are interested in a shorter walk-in option, you could park your car at the Old Cattle Yards and then walk down on the Six Foot Track for about 4.5km until you reach the Eco Lodge
Please see the map below for more detail:
Important update - 25th Jan 2024: Bowtell’s Swing Bridge over Cox’s River is CLOSED due to safety concerns and will not be reopened until end of July 2024.
We built two bridges to allow our guests to cross the Coxs river with dry feet.
When coming from Katoomba, walk past the Swing Bridge along the Six Foot Track towards the Coxs River campground. After about 500m, you will see a sign ”Alternative way to the Eco Lodge". Follow the black star pickets with white tops down to the river to the 1st bridge. After crossing, keep following the star pickets which will lead you to the 2nd bridge and straight onto our land. From there, just follow the track to the left for about 150 metres until you reach the Eco Lodge.
Please be careful when stepping on rocks - they are very slippery. We will constantly monitor the water levels and will provide updates to our guests. In case of heavy rains and water crossing not being safe, all bookings will be credited.
