Perfect mountain get away
This 1907 cottage was the perfect place to stay for a mountain get away!! Location was a minute walk to town yet so quiet and tranquil. The home had everything we needed. Fire place, heating, electric blankets, comfortable beds, amazing shower and plenty of space for the 5 of us. Shane was a wonderful host, excellent communication and the bottle of wine and tim tams were very much appreciated. Would highly recommend this beautiful homely cottage. We will be back!! Thank you!

60th birthday celebration
Loved Blackheath. Your home is ideally located just down the street from town. Enjoyed sitting on your porch and watching the neighbourhood come to life early in the mornings. A lovely cosy home - thank you for opening it up to visitors like us. It felt familiar quite quickly. It was lovely to come home to in the evenings - only wish we’d stayed longer now. (always the way)

Very comfortable and well appointed with lots of little extras which were appreciated. Also located close to Blackheath village and station. A hanging rack/hooks in second living room would have been good for hats and coats. It suited our group well.

Handy to Blackheath
Lovely comfortable property within walking distance to the township of Blackheath. Well equipped other than firewood. Only five pieces of firewood then you have to source more yourself. Great communication from the owner. Would certainly stay again

Great place for a winter getaway
Lovely cozy cottage in the heart of Blackheath perfect for a winter getaway with friends or family. Fireplace kept the house warm and reverse cycle heating available as well. With so many cafes and shops close by we had everything we needed for our friends catch-up.

A delightful stay in this home from home close to all amenities in Blackheath. All you need to come back to after long bushwalks in the mountains - including the best wood burning stove in the business. Friendly and welcoming hosts, clean and comfortable home without being to ‘precious’ a good place to relax. Thank you.
