About this property

Dowling Cottage - Blackheah

Dowling Cottage is a genuine rustic Blue Mountains weatherboard home, boasting two beautifully appointed bedrooms furnished with antiques and luxury fabrics and bed linen all supplied and made up for you.

Living spaces comprise a fully functioning kitchen, and a large, cozy lounge room with Jet master fireplace and a large, sun dappled bay window. Blankets & throws, TV/VCR/DVD/iPod dock stereo, with a wide variety of movies, CDs, magazines and books allows you to completely relax and soak up an authentic mountains atmosphere. Internet/Wi-Fi is provided and the TV is stream enabled for viewing of platforms like Netflix and Stan (however guest accounts are required).

The huge bay window, as well as two separate sunrooms, allow you to watch and hear local birdlife from the gardens surrounding the cottage, or just watch the mountains mist roll in on a lazy afternoon with a nice, relaxing bottle of wine.

Dowling Cottage is centrally located to all of Blackheath's and the region's major attractions, including the Blue Mountains National Park. Fort Rock and Porter's Pass bush reserve are less than a 5 minute walk away at the end of Gordon Avenue boosting serene waterfalls and nature walks.

Please note - tariffs shown on Stayz only refer to two guests sharing the one bedroom. Please enquire directly for rates applicable to three or more guests.

Note - we have a 2 night minimum stay policy.

Lovely, cosy older style cottage. Great city escape for a few days. Walking distance to Blackheath’s cafeterias and restaurants. You can confidently take your pup with you. Dog friendly cottage, neighbourhood, coffee shops. Dog friendly tourist spots, markets on Saturday etc. I will book again.

Dilapidated Cottage
This property is just an old deteriorated weatherboard house in deplorable condition with health risks. I have sent an email to management, with photographs. To summarize: * Gas was the only heating option in the living room and kitchen. There was a smell caused by the heater in the kitchen possibly a leak causing us to suffer from headaches and sour throats whilst we were in those areas. The gas fireplace in the lounge room was inadequate to heat that area completely. There is no air conditioner to assist with complete heating. The house was always cold; * The lounge chairs weren't fit for purpose. They were way too low to the floor, and the springs could be felt when any of these were sat on and had mismatching seat cushions. They were also very dirty and worn; * The shower was mouldy * The cottage was dirty with stained crockery and leftover food from previous guests. * It was not possible to close the bedroom windows and the flyscreen was broken and propped against the curtain. • The curtains were inadequate for privacy and heat retention to the rooms, * The property was in poor condition, both inside and outside. * The pathway to the property was unsafe with loose paving with uneven

Lovely cottage in great location
Charming older style cottage kept warm in winter with good gas fireplaces. It’s in a great location close to all my favourite walking tracks and just lovely walking around the local streets. Really looking forward to returning soon. Rod was incredibly helpful and understanding when our plans were changing due to illness.
