Beautiful winter getaway
The cottage was quaint and cosy. Olwen had provided absolutely everything we needed and more. The cottage was always warm due to the fact that there was a woodfire with plenty of wood, plus a fan heater (for when I could not get the fire going:) ) The bed was super comfortable with an electric blanket and several covers. The kitchenette was small but very well equipped. The bathroom was quite luxurious with a large supply of products such as shower gel, shampoo, and body lotion. The bath is the biggest I have been in and the shower was spectacular. If you need a fantastic place to relax in, the Evenstar cottage is the place for you !

Super cosy cottage!
We so enjoyed our little break! So many thoughtful inclusions that made the stay feel so homely. The fire was so cosy and calming, and the underfloor heating in the bathroom was a frequent happy surprise. It’s an easy walk to shops and a great pub for dinner. Thanks Olwen!

Quiet Getaway
When you are visiting family and you want to get the adult kids out of your hair, you want a quiet getaway like Evenstar Cottage. It is spacious and well presented. Olwen and his wife were charming and the bird life fascinating to watch each morning and evening. Heating is no problem with a fire and other heaters(if you need them) as well as electric blanket, heated towell rails and floor in the bathroom. It is off the beaten track - just, yet close to town and walks etc... We're comng back definitely!!

Very cute, a bit rustic
Thank goodness all the wood was free! Very chilly without wood fire. Once a fire going very cozy. Brand new bathroom! Will be super nice once it is all renovated! Kitchen nice but upgrade in appliances available would be good for those that want to cook. Loved the big fridge. Felt very safe and love Blackheath.

Perfect Autumn weekend getaway!
This cottage is the perfect weekend getaway to stay at in the season of autumn. We had everything we needed and more, Olwen and her family were lovely and responded quickly to communication. We even had left behind items arranged to be picked up in Sydney thanks to her kindness. A must stay cottage if you are travelling to the mountains this year!

We just loved this little cottage. It has been set up with all the luxuries you would need for a romantic weekend away, or as a well equipped place to self cater for your big days out exploring the Blue Mountains. Would love to come back in Summer and see the beautiful gardens in full bloom.
