We had a great stay at Blackwood! The property was spotless, the beds were comfy and a great kitchen to cook up a storm. Highly recommended. We'll be back.

8/10 Good

Quirky, Charming, centrally placed accommodation. Toasty beds, great kitchen.

Very old fashioned accommodation with open fire and no wi-fi or TV coverage (if that is a problem). Very warm and toasty beds although the bedroom heating was a little light on for the depths of winter.

Quaint property but not disabled friendly

We were looking for a disabled friendly property in that area and came across this property. The bedroom on the upper level is a bit cramped and there is no shower on the bathroom on the top level. While this was communicated to us by the owner, I missed read the email communication, so the error was mine. The property previously operated as tea rooms/ cafe and hence has a commercial kitchen, lots of appliances and entertainment- board games, toys, even kid guitars and a piano! The lack of phone connectivity ( only Telstra services are available) was actually refreshing. It was great for kids and there’s plenty of space so it’s good for big groups, and you can still have somewhere to retreat to for some “me” time. The bathrooms are a bit small, but the whole place has a lot of character and it grew on us. There were Kangaroos in the backyard at night!

Great relaxing stay

My family and I had a wonderful week in Blackwood and the property suited us perfectly. There was enough room for us all to relax and there was great walks and bike trails close by as well. The property was well set up and we had everything we needed in the kitchen. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a place to stay away from the city in a quiet town.
