The space
Nestled in the picturesque village of Blackheath, just a 6-minute walk from the historic railway station, this rustic cottage offers an idyllic retreat. Located on a quiet street overlooking the stunning Kanimbla Valley, it’s a two-minute stroll to a bush track leading to the scenic Porters Pass loop. Wake to misty mornings or clear skies as you immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the Blue Mountains.
Colomatta Mist invites you to embrace slow living. The cosy living room, with its wood combustion fireplace at the centre, radiates warmth and charm. Inviting seating is complemented by an Apple TV for streaming your favourite shows, a guitar for impromptu tunes, a bar cart stocked with board games, and a selection of books create a welcoming space to unwind. Whether sharing wine or curling up with a blanket, this is a place to truly relax and feel at home.
The cottage features two tranquil bedrooms, thoughtfully designed for comfort in simplicity. The master bedroom's French doors open onto the front verandah with escarpment views - perfect for morning coffee and evening sunsets. It includes a queen bed with French flax linen bedding. The second bedroom is equipped with two king single beds, making it ideal for adults or children alike. Both rooms offer panel heaters and extra blankets for chilly nights and ceiling fans for the Summer months.
The rustic-style kitchen is bathed in soft natural light, and warmly invites you in. Thoughtfully crafted with both charm and practicality, the fully-stocked kitchen offers high-quality cookware, all essential utensils, elegant crockery, and a family-sized fridge. Enjoy a leisurely stroll to the village to pick up freshly baked bread, local produce, and quality meats, and return to this inviting space to enjoy the simple pleasures of rustic living.
Outdoors, the front garden offers seating, while the back garden features a garden table, bench seats, and a fire pit - perfect for cosy evenings under the mountain stars.
Surrounded by the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains, Blackheath offers visitors a variety of attractions. From the annual Rhododendron Festival in November to the breathtaking views at Evans Lookout and Pulpit Rock, there’s something for everyone. Visit nearby wineries and experience paddock-to-plate fine dining in the Megalong Valley or enjoy the seasonal blooms and birdwatching along the Fairfax Heritage Walking Track.
This retreat is ideal for couples, small families, groups of friends, and nature lovers. Reconnect with nature and savour the beauty of a slower pace of life. Whether you’re after easy bushwalks, challenging trails or a restful retreat, this cottage provides a perfect base for your escape.
