It is very well maintained and has lots of space. It is only a short distance to Blackheath town centre. Our highlight with the property was the family room area which had great views over bushland. Definitely recommend. ##### John O. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Liana J. 7 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### In Nature We enjoyed the property nestled among beautiful trees but close to everything, lots of space for the whole family with lots of nature views, and great books about the area which we used to plan our walks. The only downside was the automated online communication which worked well enough for the check in, but not when we found bathmats and hand towels were missing (never got any response to our polite inquiry). It was bot a big deal though and we would definitely stay there again ##### Liana J.
