Blackheath is a charming village which, with a number of fine restaurants and excellent antique stores, in recent times has become one of the most fashionable retreats in the Blue Mountains. It is known for its outstanding rhododendron gardens - which it celebrates with a festival each spring - and its excellent vantage points offering the finest northern vistas from the ridge which runs up the Blue Mountains. It also has a wide variety of bushwalks from the easy to the challenging. It is considered one of the very best of the villages spread along the Great Western Highway.

Private parking is available on-site and the house is located a short, 10 minute walk to Blackheath town centre and train station, or to the wonderful hiking trails and climbing walls of Centennial Glen.
