A charming little cottage with all the amenities available. The spa bath , fire place and Bbq was a bonus. Close to Govetts leap and 5 minutes back to Blackheath for a variety of eateries. We stayed for 2 nights which was not long enough. Marie is a great host and when we asked if we could check in earlier she happily obliged. Will recommend staying in this charming cottage.

Good location
My daughter and I were in Blackheath for a family occasion and did not spend much time at the property, but from what we saw it would be a great starting point for the walks one can enjoy nearby. (Although at the time of our visit, Govett's Leap was closed - until Feb 2023). The house backs onto bushland and we were visited by rosellas, cockatoos and a possum carrying a young one on her back. The property was clean and well-equipped. Blackheath is chilly in the spring, and we had figured out how to use the slow combustion fire by the end of the week. Marie was quick to respond to our inquiries.

The slow combustion fire was a highlight. This place was cosy and warm. The bed comfortable. The spa bath made relaxing after long bush walking days easy. Close to the best bushwalking spots in area.

Blue Gum House
We loved our stay at Blue Gum House, it was perfect for a family weekend. Close to great walks with views and also shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs etc for anything you might need. We loved waking up to and coming home to the wood burner fire and the spa bath. The house has everything you need for your stay in it and there were some nice touches for guests. Marie was great to deal with and quick to respond to any questions that we had. We would consider staying here again and could certainly recommend the property to others.

Quaint, quirky and comfortable
This house was like nothing we had ever stayed in before - a real escape from the city. Surrounded by bushland, the only sounds were birdsong and silence. The house was comfortable and on a rainy weekend, the crackling fire was the perfect setting for rest and relaxation.
