Ideal Blue Mountains Hideaway
Really well-maintained cottage with everything for a comfortable stay. Close to a wedding venue which we attended. It was perfect for our 3-night stay. Not quite cold enough for us to light the log fire, though the mist and rain made it very tempting.

Ticks all our boxes
A comfortable cottage was updated and is even more comfortable this time. The new bathroom is a stunner. The setting is just beautiful and walking distance to cafés and shops. We'll come again for sure. Next time in winter to get the fire going.

Charm, comfort and convenience
Evenstar is a delightful, classic Blue Mountains studio cottage, set in a beautiful garden. It is close to the village but down a quiet street. It has luxuries, such as a spa bath, and a slow combustion fire, but also has conveniences such as a "walk in" shower and excellent electric heating.

Lovely place
We enjoyed our stay a lot. It is a lovely cabin in a beatiful backyard, with lots of attention to details that make you feel welcome. There is a little fireplace inside which is great for the cold and rainy days. Overall very cozy.

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.

Why they chose this property

We love having the opportunity to share the tranquility of the cottage along with proximity to the Village and many opportunities for walks and sightseeing

What makes this property unique

The Autumn leaves are stunning in the upper Blue Mountains and is a beautiful time to visit. Rhododendron time in October and November are also lovely. Or simply come to enjoy the crisp winter air. There is no bad time to visit.
