Absolute Gem

Perfect amount of space for 2 couples, close to everything, well appointed. The spa was massive (and a big highlight), the kitchen had everything we needed, and the beds were comfy. Particulary impressed with how fast the hot water came on and no issues with it running out, even in April when it was getting quite cool.

Winter Break at Wattle Glen

We absolutely loved our time in Blackheath. The cottage is warm, and the open plan family room / kitchen is absolutely beautiful . We fired up the combustion wood heater and loved every minute of the stay.

Cosy comfortable stay

We all enjoyed our stay. It was great to arrive to a warm house . Comfortable beds . Love the fire as we had to stay in for the evenings. Only disappointing features was the bad sound on TV in living room. Loved the area too.

Beautiful cottage with fantastic views

We had a lovely stay in the mountains, beautiful outlook, lovely walks nearby, and a comfortable and warm house to come back to. Minor hiccup at check in: the code for the lock box was incorrect. The correct code had been sent in a previous email, so we figured it out OK, but good to note for improvement. Thanks for a great stay

A lovely winter escape

The house was well appointed and very cosy with the slow combustion heater. We very much enjoyed our stay! Worth noting is the extremely steep access to the front door - we knew that there were a couple of steps inside, but the photos did not reveal just how difficult negotiating the driveway would be. It would be worth mentioning this in the posting of the property.

Lovely house and great location

This was a very comfortable house in a quiet, leafy location walking distance to the cafés and shops, Rhododendron Gardens, Pope's Glen Track, park, pool and duck pond. It is a nice light and bright house and was lovely and clean and had everything we needed to make it comfortable. Parking is a little bit tricky as it is down a narrow one way lane but there is space for two cars. We'll be back, it was a very easy house to stay in.

A nice but cold house

This house was hard to warm up as the AC was weak. Having no soap either was a bit annoying also. It was a nice walk to town but using the driveway was tough. Overall it was a nice quaint place.

Good potential

Many issues disrupted the beginning of our stay including cleaners having not come, tv cable to antennae not installed and fire place not adequately maintained. Thankfully these were resolved by the second day of our stay however they did cause some disruption to our holiday. The property was well situated and relaxing to stay in.

didnt want to leave

We had a great time! The home was clean, and had everything we needed to make a great weekend! The appliances were current and working. There was a dishwasher and the house was set out really well. We had 3 adults and 2 children/2 families, and it suited us well. It was hard to find and confused my tom tom, however my friends found it easily. The driveway was steep, but that is a minor thing really. We had a great time, and no hot water issues. I will be back, and would recommend this place to anyone who asked. Enjoy :-)

could improve

Overall pretty good but a couple of little things. No toilet paper in the main bathroom. Generic instructions are not enough. Eventually found the garbage bins at the end of the lane and put the rubbish from the green bin into the rubbish bin. Lots of plastic in the paper for the fire place. No instructions on how to get rid of the ash. The fire place badly needed cleaning out of ash. Eventually found the plates and cutlery in the dishwasher. Pity some of the glasses had not been put in there as well!

Great value cottage

Fabulous property overlooking the bush. Comfortable beds, very large bath and fire were highlights. The pantry was stocked with the basics. Would recommend and would stay again. The agent gave us the wrong door code but they answered the after hours number and provided the correct one.

Adult family of 6

Warm & cosy with plenty of room for our teen/adult family. Full kitchen for self catering was well equipped. Bonus having the washing machine. A few books and board games for those rainy afternoons in front of the fire. Drive is a bit tricky being narrow down a slope especially if you have a large 4wd, but can be easily reversed into down the lane way. We had a great visit and would definitely stay again.
