We had a wonderful stay. The house was exceptionally clean, thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed and more, and incredibly cozy. The amenities truly elevated the experience, making it feel both comfortable and effortless. The location is outstanding, with easy walking access to town as well as the stunning Blue Mountains National Park. The hosts were warm, welcoming, and attentive, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We would absolutely stay here again.

Olwen provides a perfect place!The property has easy access, but also feels hidden away. The dispenser, fireplace, big bed, shower, heated bathroom floors all make it a very cosy stay. I was also impressed that they provided Decaf coffee too.She's thought of all the little things so you can enjoy your big getaway.

We had an amazing time at Evenstar Cottage! The hosts were lovely alongside their adorable dog, and the cottage was so charming, fitted out with wholesome details and personal touches. The amenities were great too! It was in an excellent location just a 10-15 min walk away from the main strip of shops in Blackheath. Would highly recommend!

What a fantastic introduction to Australian hospitality and a beautiful, peaceful base for hiking the Blue Mountains! The thoughtful touches and the amazing amenities all contributed to a peaceful, comfortable stay. You’ve obviously put a lot of work into making this a quaint, homey cottage. Thank you for all your thoughtfulness and recognition of a traveler’s needs.

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful and quiet lacation. We stayed for a long weekend and the cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We were lucky to experience some cooler nights to enjoy the fireplace and heated flooring in the bathroom. We also loved all the quality bathroom essentials supplied. Highly recommend
