Activities/Attractions: The Blue Mountains offer spectacular scenery, plant life and wildlife. The mountains reach a height of 1100m, and have been given their name due to the blue haze that hovered above the mountains produced by the oil from the plentiful Eucalyptus trees. The Blue Mountains National Park offers great walking trails and is still relatively untouched similar to the other national parks in the Blue Mountains. The Blue Mountains also offers other activities such as abseiling, rock climbing and canoeing, as well as accommodation.
Blackheath Village has a wonderful eclectic selection of cafes, restaurants, boutiques, antique shops and homewares shops. Many of Blackheath's cafes offer a lovely breakfast and some of the restaurants are simply awesome, our favourite is Ashcrofts. There are two small supermarkets in Blackheath, 2 pubs and 2 petrol garages. Blackheath Golf Course is simply the most picturesque course in the mountains.
There are some wonderful bushland walks including a spectacular 4 hour walk to the Blue Gum Forest at the base of the valley. South of Blackheath you can pass through beautiful rainforest before reaching the farmland of Megalong Valley. There are also several places to go horse riding around here.
Govetts Leap Lookout and Evans Lookout are
stunning and simply must not be missed and Govetts Leap
Lookout is the starting point for some of the very best walks
to be enjoyed in the mountains. There is a NSW Parks
Information Centre in Blackheath for further information.

"Hey Nicky, We had such a lovely second visit, even more relaxing and peaceful this time having the place completely to ourselves the whole weekend. Lovely to be able to check out Monday lunchtime too. I depart for England Sunday night :-( ... but plan to return in the New Year. So you may well be hearing from us again! Lavender Cottage will always hold such special memories for us. Thanks for everything."
"Hi Nicky, Just want to say thank you for an amazing stay at Lavender Cottage. It is a beautiful place and having the spa studio on the premises is such a unique touch. The availability of the cottage ended up having a touch of serendipity about it as my partner dragged me down to Govett's leap on Sat. evening and proposed! So needless to say Lavender Cottage will always be a special place for us. Thanks so much."
"Hello Nicky, I'm the mother of Kate who organised this weekend at your delightful cottage. I forgot to leave a note in the guest book and I suspect that no one else did either to tell you how comfortable we were and that it was a perfect place for the five of us and three year old Sage loved her playful adventures under the pine trees in the back garden - unlike anything to which she's been accustomed. Our every need was catered for and we did enjoy the luxury of the treatments."
"Hi Nicky, Just wanted to drop you a short note to say that we really enjoyed our weekend in your beautiful cottage. It was a well needed break from Sydney. We will definitely stay again. Thanks."
"Lavender Cottage is a newish two-storey house, built to combine lots of period features with mod cons. It's a real home away from home. The two bedrooms (the place sleeps five) have antique double beds with cotton sheets, bathrobes, piles of thick towels and a basket of lavender-scented soap, bath-salts and incense...."
