Kangaroos, echidnas, goannas, wombats and myriads of birds at your doorsteps, and a frog chorus at dusk, this is truly a nature lover paradise and birdwatchers heaven.

Beautiful little cottage, located in such a stunningly scenic spot. My partner took our 2 Dachshunds and had the best time exploring the property! Will definitely be coming back, we all had an amazing time :)

We loved our stay at Potter’s Cottage!! Anya was very accommodating. She also quickly answered our phone call when we arrived later than we expected, and so the dark made a little bit harder to find. ...It was so peaceful waking up to our views. We thought the photos of the cottage were beautiful, but we were pleasantly surprised with how everything looked in person. It was pristine and very clean. We would definitely want to come back and book again. It was the best place to get away for the weekend.

Shipley Upper Crag

Only 10 km away is the Blue Mountains most popular crag Shipley Upper. Magnificent views, great routs, plenty of sun and easy access via Centennial Glen Rd.

Little Piggy Deli

If you are heading to the main town centre of Blackheath - stopping in for a quick coffee and produce shop at Little Piggy Deli is a must! The coffee is so good and you can enjoy a toasted sandwich and a little shop as well. Serving as a deli and delectable cake and cheese shop, alongside continental meats and single-origin coffee its the perfect pitstop.

Burramoko Ridge Hanging Rock Hiking Trail

Hanging Rock is one of the most beautiful rock formations in the Blue Mountains located in Blackheath. This hike is a mostly flat fire trail so its family friendly and the view at the end is definitely worth the adventure. Take care at the clifftops but epic views of the Grose Valley especially at sunset and sunrise.
