Lovely place and we had a great time - perfect location
Marsha McBroom - 20th September 2023We loved this place. Was a great place to go and hike from or just have a lovely BBQ. Beds were comfy and kitchen well equipped. Will come back for sure.
Getaway
Bruce Nevill - 7th July 2023It was an amazing break. The Lodge was comfortable and cosy, with a lovely wood fire and underfloor heating. Walking distance to the Information centre, lookout and hiking trails. A short drive to the quaint town of Blackheath. The scenery was amazing and breathtaking. Highly recommend this getaway, lots of things to do and a very peaceful place for a holiday. Look forward to going back.
Peaceful Weekend Away
Cath Nevill - 27th June 2023If you're looking for a cosy and comfortable retreat in the Blue Mountains, The Lodge at Blackheath is the perfect place for you. An unforgettable weekend away, The Lodge offered the perfect experience for myself and my guests. From the moment we stepped inside we felt welcomed and comfortable to just chill and relax in the magnificent surround of the bushland. It was very conveniently located close to some amazing bush walks including The infamous Grand Canyon Walk and breathtaking views!
Loved our stay at the lodge
Bernie - 18th May 2023Beautiful home to keep warm inside by the fire or enjoy the outdoor area with a BBQ. It was very clean and tidy and had all the amenities we needed for cooking meals. Great location in a quiet cul-de-sac but close enough to the local street of shops (Monday night trivia at Zoe's was fun!) Don't miss the beautiful Govetts Leap lookout point with waterfall at the end of the street. Would definitely come here again.
The Lodge was everything we needed and more for our family trip.
Nathan Brown - 29th April 2023Perfect getaway nestled in Blackheath just a short drive up from the art deco strip of shops in the village and real close to Govetts Leap. The house has beautiful A frame ceilings and beds are super comfy. The kids loved the yard and bush cubby land to play in. Looking forward to getting back again."
Ideal lodge
Loulou fortunato - 24th April 2023This lodge is all that it promises. The living and dining space is so cosy and has all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. We loved the fireplace, and the board games were a nice touch. Bedding was so comfortable and the outdoor space and hammock were perfect for both adults and kids. We loved the location and would come.back again.
Great stay with family and so close to the walks!
Gaelle Carayon - 22nd January 2023We had a fantastic stay at the Lodge. The house had everything we needed and is walking distance to Govett's Leap, where some of the best walks start (we really enjoyed Braeside loop which was recommended in the welcome book). We loved the mountain lodge feel with the wood beams and open living room, which felt so spacious yet cosy. Special mention to the games/puzzles which kept the kids occupied on rainy days:-).
