Great Bushland setting
We had weekend stay at this excellent property. It is very well maintained and has lots of space. It is only a short distance to Blackheath town centre. Our highlight with the property was the family room area which had great views over bushland. Definitely recommend.

In Nature
We enjoyed the property nestled among beautiful trees but close to everything, lots of space for the whole family with lots of nature views, and great books about the area which we used to plan our walks.
The only downside was the automated online communication which worked well enough for the check in, but not when we found bathmats and hand towels were missing (never got any response to our polite inquiry). It was bot a big deal though and we would definitely stay there again

Beautiful Walks
Around Blackheath National parks has done a great job in restoring the walks. Popes Glen, Cliff Top, Braeside and the Grand Canyon are all wonderful walks. And this house Alencon is at the beginning of the Popes Glen walk.
