“We made the best of it - if the broken or broken down furniture and fittings were meant to be in some way quirky they we”

View out the back is lovely. The heaters were nice and powerful.

Amazing view and a charming cottage. Kitchen has plenty of pots, plates, cups, utensils and more. Very close to the centre of town, less than 5 mins.

“Great view but poor facilities and uncomfortable”

Close to the town centre, train station and walks. Nice view from the back verandah. Excellent for train spotters.

“Breathtaking Views.”

Amazing view from back veranda and Great location.

“Old girls getaway, you’ll need vino & a sense of humour!”

We liked the view from the back of the house, the beds were reasonably comfortable, good hot water, good supply of chopped hardwood for the great fire place, walkable to pubs, restaurants & shops & easy drive down into the Megalong Valley. You do need earplugs if your a light sleeper, take your own kindling & fire starters if you go in winter, plenty of chopped hardwood supplied.

“Gorgeous, atmospheric, vibey, convenient”

Hanging out in the kitchen, gorgeous bedrooms, close walk to town.

“A fun family get together”

A cute little stay with family in Blackheath. We loved the kitchen and cooked up a great big dinner. The house was old and cold but a quirky cosy experience once fires and heaters were on. The kids loved the fireplaces. The location was fantastic, close to lookouts and town.

“Was a great stay. House was full charm and character, close to everything, train rams all night but you get used to them”

Great kitchen to cook in, beautiful views overlooking the mountains and sunsets, great heating.

“Good for family”

Location was great, the view from outside is beautiful. Once you get over the shock that wow it is really old, you’d appreciate the property. We love the fireplace, host provided plenty of firewood which is nice.

“Charming old world feel close to town and a view to die for”

The location, charm and character of old house and the view ! The back deck was great

This house is large, funky and eclectic but not necessarily in a good way! There is a sense that this house is unloved. The furniture is miss-matched, most of it in disrepair and old (but not old in the character of the property). It would be good if it was pared back and most of it thrown out. The furniture in the living room is worn-out and therefore uncomfortable as the cushions sink down and offer no support. The house itself has bags of character and the beds had clean linen (my bed was made incorrectly with the top sheet placed between the doona and top cover). Not realising this the first night, I slept with an uncovered slightly stained doona on top of me. There was a new electric double socket in my bedroom with USB ports however this supplied 1 bedside lamp and a single ended extension cord that went under the bed. From this, you had to choose if you wanted the other (mismatched) lamp on or one side of the heated blanket! The view is exceptional, however the garden was unkempt with very long grass and untrimmed bushes, the back porch had mouldy rotting/broken furniture/cushions, and in the yard were discarded bicycles half buried, a bath tup filled with dirty water and a creepy caravan that looks like someone may have been sleeping rough in the garden. This did NOT give a sense of peaceful relaxation. The bathroom is in need of upgrade with a loose fitting toilet, cracked basin, broken tiles around bath taps. The hot tap handle in the shower comes off when trying to adjust the temperature. The shower head sends a stream of water straight to the wall which then drains onto the floor and across the to the doorway The shower is in in a high-top free standing bathtub in need of re-enameling with a curtain. There are no grab rails. In the kitchen, there was a continual stream of water leaking from the sink tap, which could not be stopped. There was a projector to watch DVD’s (supplied) that was quite complicated to set up.

“Very nice. Thank you.”

We enjoyed the very relaxed style of the house. Being next to the railway line was not as much of an issue as I thought it could be.

“Cosy, short and sweet weekend stay”

Cosy and a bit quirky- like staying at my great grandmothers place. The location was great and close to town- could walk to everything. We had cheese and wine on the verandah and enjoyed the view.

“The property is quaint and charming and met our needs for the few days we were there.”

The kitchen was well equipped and large enough for the whole family. The large gas stove was great although we had trouble with the oven we eventually figured it out. The property was eclectic and charming and although the weather wasn’t great, the view from the back was fabulous. The proximity to shops was also very handy.

“I liked the vibe that was there but it could be more comfortable and still work. Especially for the cost.”

Lovely view and some great old world decorations and furniture. Not comfortable though and could do with some new old fashioned furniture which is not falling apart. Oven door would not stay closed.

“We enjoyed our overnight stay.”

The view is terrific. The house is convenient to town (a pleasant and short walk) and is quite private. The beds were comfortable. It’s a quirky, individual house. We were able to sit out on the back verandah comfortably despite the rain. There’s plenty of room in the pleasant kitchen and dining area (and in the lounge room, though the seating leaves a lot be desired).

“Paid for 3 nights stayed for 2. That was too long”

The heavy train ran all the time all day and night. 30 metres from front door.

We loved the cool, eclectic, lived-in, relaxed feel and history of this beautiful classic old house! Awesome views out over the valleys beyond, watching the sunset while we played backgammon from the porch - after a day of bushwalking - perfect! Sitting around the 1895 fireplace after dinner, chatting and laughing together - a beautiful family weekend for us all.

“Quaint old cottage with stunning views walking distance from shops and walks”

original old cottage with huge back veranda with lovely views perfect for watching sunset walking distance from everything in Blackheath and walks or short drives to everything in Blue Mountains

“This was the perfect location for a group of 6 friends. Very spacious and very responsive host. I would highly recommend”

The house was gorgeous!! Even better than the photos make it out to be. The location was ideal (less than a three minute walk from the town centre)
