Perched in the Blue Mountains, Blackheath offers spectacular lookouts where you can gaze across Grose Valley's dramatic sandstone cliffs. Explore charming galleries and cafés before hiking to nearby Govetts Leap, where rangers know which trails have fewer people.
The staff were incredible. They went out of their way to be helpful. The food was amazing. Healthy and creative and so delicious. Loved it. I’ll definitely be going back. It’s a break to reconnect with nature - as such there are windows in the bedrooms with no blinds so you wake up slowly with the morning light. Personally I prefer black out blinds but it is in keeping with what the hotel is trying to do. I also feel a juicer on site to have freshly prepared juices would not go amiss but these...

Amazing property, very welcoming and friendly staff. We got the lovely cabin which has its own spa and it was very comfy, with a fire in the chimney as we got it. Very calm and peaceful. The location in the countryside is far but worth the trip. There is tennis and pool table on site. We even got to feed the alpacas!

Incredible experience thanks to fantastic hosts and a wonderful property. The Chalet was exactly what we were hoping for from a stay in Blue Mountains which was a little off the beaten path but still with good train access to Katoomba etc.
The owners are incredibly accommodating and welcoming, making for a very personal experience. Other than the hospitality, a highlight has to be the visiting parrots and other wildlife in the area.
Breakfast is light and perfect for what you need to start...

We had a great stay, the room was comfortable and the food was fantastic, not a burger in sight.
A local birdwatcher was staying with us as well and said that this is by far the best place he has stayed in the area.

The guesthouse was in a residential and quiet area but walkable to the town and nearby national park walks. Although I drove there I didnt use the car once I arrived. My room was very comfortable and I enjoyed the breakfast in the morning. I would love to return and be able to stay longer.

We had a great stay, the staff were super helpful, the food was superb in the restaurant, the amenities were great. The room was good, I would like to see a few more pictures and maybe more soft furnishings, but overall great value

Place was full of character with complimentary food, John kindly let us leave our luggage there while we went hiking after checkout and before our train back to Sydney. Room was spotless with fresh flowers when we arrived.

We spent one night here on our way to the Wolgan Valley.
It is in a great location right on the Escarpment and a five minute walk to Echo Point. The rooms are a little dated but comfortable. There is no evening turn down service nor any complimentary bottled water in the room, rather surprising for a 4/5 star rated hotel. We had a wonderful Asian meal in Miss Lilian’s Tea Room restaurant. The service and staff there were fabulous. Breakfast was good with all the usual fruits, cereals, juices...

Motels in places like Lithgow have to cater for the overnight stayers/travelers who want a good bed and shower plus an early breakfast to their room. They also like to park in front of their rooms.
The motels management also have to please those who are staying longer as tourists to the region (Hint: Lithgow is a great staging place for the Upper Blue Mountains and futher west).
This motel covers both needs really well, with all the stuff for a good sleep etc plus a clean pool and laundry...

Madison Mountain Retreat is exactly what it says. A retreat in the Mountains, away from pesky 'real world' interferences of internet, email, phone calls, texts etc.
Blissfully peaceful, rustic, but lovely cabins, lively alpacas, glorious birdsong, beautiful surrounds.
The staff are lovely and friendly, and will supply basic foodstuffs (bread, milk, cheese, bacon) on requests, as well as eggs daily from their free range hens.
This is a wonderful place to unwind and relax.
