About this property

New listing! Original 1895 cottage, magnificent uninterrupted views of valley.

This character filled original weatherboard house, built in 1895, sits on huge grounds with uninterrupted views over the Kanimbla valley. The big sky will deliver magnificent sunsets and stargazing on the big old back verandah. Great kitchen, with open fireplaces in kitchen and lounge room. A large loungeroom with a projector and large selection of movies is available, or hook up your own laptop to stream any of your own programmes.
The bushwalking near the house in Centennial Glen is exceptional; waterfalls, canyons and renowned rock climbing - all only 10 mins walk from the house. Or jump in the car and head to Govetts Leap and the Grand Canyon. Great swimming at Minihaha Falls, 15 min drive towards Katoomba.
Blackheath is a cute little village only 5 mins walk from the house, with a pub, bottle shop, grocer, bakery, delicatessen, butcher, great cafes and huge antique store.

Please note: The 4th bedroom is quite rustic and very small, with a double bed and is only opened when you book for more than 6 guests, or upon request. Please let me know if you require this room to be opened.

Please note this is an old largely unrenovated house - the bathtub is a bit rusty, creaky doors and wobbly floorboards. It is however thoroughly clean and we provide crisp hotel sheets and towels.

Due to the houses amazing location on the ridge overlooking the Kanimbla valley, the house can occasionally be very windy.
There are 2 gas heaters which keep the house warm and cosy and wood for fires provided (during winter only)

Please note: The 4th bedroom is quite rustic and very small, with a double bed and is only opened when you book for more than 6 guests, or upon request. Please let me know if you require this room to be opened.

Please note: The house is located across road from the railway line - hourly trains during the day and occasional freight train at night. We provide earplugs for light sleepers.

cosy cottage , great location
The cottage is quaint and original with plenty of space and suitable for 3 couples . It's probably best described as "shabby chic" as the decor and furnishings are interesting but the cottage is not renovated completely which is part of its charm and makes it good value. It has a lovely view from the back deck and is a five minute walk from all the shops and cafes in Blackheath. .

Classic mountain cottage with an amazing view
Our group - including extended family from 11 to 82, including some visiting from Spain and France - loved our stay at this property. The cottage, really quite a large house, is full of authentic charm, as well as tasteful, cozy decorations and furnishings. I felt completely relaxed and at home and my kids loved the small room with a view over the valley. That vista from the back porch is quite spectacular and we enjoyed cocktail hours on the back deck with the sunsets. The projection video was great for the kids and the kitchen is also very well equipped. We also explored some of the nearby walks, and were very glad to be walking distance from Blackheath town centre. I would 100% recommend as a wonderful, comfortable base for a stay in the mountains
