Blackheath & the Blue Mountains

The village

Blackheath has so much to offer — from fantastic access to spectacular bushwalks through the World Heritage national park, to amazing lookouts with breathtaking views. Back in the village: high-quality cafés and restaurants, art galleries, bakeries, and the old cinema-turned-antique-market, all a ten-minute stroll from the cottage gate.

A palette of seasons

The Blue Mountains is a colourful place for an entire palette of seasons — inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list, regarded as Australia's “cradle of conservation”, and home of the Darug and Gundungurra peoples.

  • Winter — Yulefest feasts and the Winter Magic festival (and misty mornings made for the fire pit)
  • Spring — the Leura Gardens Festival in full bloom
  • Summer — Wild About Waratahs and the Rhodo Festival
  • Autumn — golden light, quiet trails, harvest menus
