Idlewylde Cottage, Blackheath
Let your imagination be whisked away as you find yourself spellbound by our cosy cottage nestled in the iconic Blue Mountains.
Immersed in history (with a pinch of romance)
The best of both worlds in the Blue Mountains
This quaint 1907 cottage provides the perfect base for your eclectic escape to Blackheath, where local artisans, fresh produce, and natural wonders are knocking at the door.
Whether you’re in the mood for an adrenaline-fueled hike or a laid-back day curled up with a good book, Idlewylde is your gateway to any pace of life where each morning brings a delightful quandary: will it be a day conquering trails or conquering chapters?
Just a leisurely 100m stroll from Blackheath’s vibrant heart, our cute cottage sits amidst a kaleidoscope of experiences. Saunter through streets lined with hip cafes, time-capsule antique shops, and artisan bakeries. Savour five-star culinary delights or unwind in one of the cosy local pubs. Here, your car keys can take a well-deserved break.
As evening settles, enjoy the comfort of the classic brick fireplace as it crackles and roars, providing the quintessential soundtrack to mountain life. Sit back, relax, and indulge in local wine and cheese, or retreat to the games room for a sing-along around the piano or to play a classic boardgame with friends and family.
Snug as a bug in a rug
Character cottage with all the trimmings

With abundant heating, snuggly warm beds, and a cosy kitchen, the tone for your Blue Mountains adventure is well and truly set.
