Cozy base for adventures

It's like the Tardis - looks small from the outside but inside is really spacious. Very cosy living room and separate kitchen. Kids bedrooms down the hall way. Basic amenities but absolutely adequate (would have been nice to have a loo roll, even though we get it's self catering!). Blackheath is a great spot - lots of good food and it's close to beautiful hikes. We had a lovely time! We had a lovely time.

Great dog-friendly cottage

Great dog-friendly cottage close to good walks and centre of town. Owners as usual were very accommodating. Lots of wood for heater, and extra heater available, if needed, so cottage is beautifully warm on a winter's day.

Cosy, well equipped little house

My family had a great time staying here. The fire and heaters were great and we were very cosy on a cold winters weekend. Well equipped kitchen and plenty of games/dvds. The house is dated but that suited us perfectly as nothing was too precious and we could relax having our kids and dog there. Loved our stay- we hope to come back next year

Blackheath cottage

Rented at short notice, Alison was great to deal with. Only constructive criticism is the shower...worst water pressure ever and dangerous for the kids as hot water was extremely hard to regulate, definitely needs an upgrade. House has all amenities and kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay

3 1/2 star comfortable stay

Well equipped clean kitchen, wifi, comfortable beds and plenty of room. Appreciated the heaters during this cold new year's eve. Couldn't close the side gate, found the back door really difficult to close. Lovely quiet neighborhood to enjoy.

Great weekend escape

A cosy and comfortable stay. Well equipped, quiet location and a lovey slow combustion fire. Unfortunately no firewood on arrival as promised, but Alison was quick to respond and rectify. Perfect for our family of 6. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Cosy and comfortable cottage and an amazing mini vacation.

Had a wonderful stay. The cottage is located in a nice quiet street, close to bushwalks and the Blackheath town centre. The cottage was very cosy and comfortable and had everything we needed. The back yard was perfect for our two small dogs who thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the back deck was great for having a BBQ. We really enjoyed our time there and we will definitely be back. 🙂

Comfortable place to stay

Very spacious & comfy; pretty street; all conveniences provided. Accurately described in the listing. Not huge amount of character, feels like a suburban home, so might not suit someone wanting a really cute mountains cottage. Back garden a bit unkempt when we were there. Overall, a nice place to stay, we had no issues.

Perfect base for hiking

Magic property that has plenty of space, very comfortable, an awesome fireplace, good kitchen. We used this as a base either side of an overnight walk. The beds were very comfy and returning here after our hike was the perfect location to put the feet up and relax. Highly recommend.

Lovely weekend in cosy cabin

The cabin was well presented, cosy and we really appreciated that the heaters were on when we arrived on a cold wet and misty afternoon. The kitchen was well equiped and each bedroom had heating. Plenty of wood in the wood shed and the wood burner worked very well. Peaceful bush setting.

Perfect size house in great location

Our family and small dog had a great time here, lazing in front of the fire, chopping wood and enjoying the leafy surrounds. It was close enough to town to walk, but away from the hustle and bustle. The beds were comfy and the kitchen was well-equipped, and odds and ends such as salt and pepper were much appreciated. Would come again.

Cute Cottage

We enjoyed our family getaway at Blackheath in a quiet leafy residential area. Blue Gum is well equipped with a cozy fire which we enjoyed. Our Labrador had plenty of room in the large backyard but the fence wasn’t secure. Blue Gum is a lovely base for discovering the beautiful Blue Mountains.

Classic 70s chalet: warm, cosy, quiet

We enjoyed our stay in Blue Gum cottage tucked away in a quiet, residential bushscape, with easy access by car to Blackheath village and nearby bushwalks. The cottage retains its 70's chalet style, with thick carpet, high beamed ceiling and a cracklingly warm wood fire. All welcome in sub zero temps! Electric blanket on the double bed and oil heaters around the house kept things cosy. After days of tramping into the bush and exploring local shops and cafes, the beds were goldilocks snug. And then the pleasure of a hot shower in a cold room, with the echo of bellbirds if you listen carefully.
