Pigeon House Mountain was named by Captain James Cook during his voyage of discovery along Australia's eastern coast in 1770. The prominent remnant of a two tier sandstone structure, the summit rises to 720 m above sea level. Located on the South Coast region of New South Wales within the Morton National Park, the nearest town is Milton. Pigeon House Mountain is a popular walking destination, taking an average of three hours for a complete ascent and descent from the car park.

The aboriginal name for the mountain is Didhol or Dithol which means Woman's Breast on account of the distinctive shape of the mountain.
