About this cottage rental
Nestled at the base of Mount Blackheath, the 100 acre property is surrounded by magnificent Blue Mountains escarpments, peaceful forest and open grassland.
Kangaroos, echidnas, goannas, wombats and myriads of birds at your doorsteps, and a frog chorus at dusk, this is truly a nature lover paradise and birdwatcher heaven.
THE STUDIO
Designed and built by Australian Potter John Robertson using natural materials and recycled timber, combining rustic simplicity and comfort, the studio is completely off the grid and solar powered.
On the ground floor you will find a light-filled open plan kitchen and dining area with a cosy wood fireplace, a spacious living room with a second fireplace, a bathroom with shower and a separate toilet.
Upstairs, two comfortable bedrooms provide a peaceful retreat.
Step out onto the large veranda where a dining table and BBQ invite you to relax and soak up the views.
A fire pit is located at the front of the studio for evenings under the stars. Down by the dam, guests can unwind in bean bags or rocking chairs surrounded by magnificent escarpments.
Eco friendly materials are used wherever possible: organic (OEKO-Tex® certified) linen bedding; Australian made wool quilts, mohair throws and duck down pillows; quality cotton towels and hand knotted woollen Persian rugs are all provided for your comfort.
PLEAS NOTE
This is TV free retreat. 4G/5G mobile receptions are available, however we encourage our guests to switch off their mobile devices and instead take a walk around the astonishingly beautiful Kanimbla Valley. Bring your bicycles and go for a ride, try yoga during pink sunsets, meditate under ancient gum trees, go for a horse ride, roll in blue clay at the dam. Or just lay back on the verandah with that book that you always wanted to read but never had time, and submerge into the songs of Australian birds with butterflies gliding by.
There is so much to see and experience, just let your inner child come alive to play and enjoy nature’s simple offerings.

Our host Anya was very good at communicating with us before and during our stay. Potters Studio is brilliant. So quiet. We did not hear sound from another human being for the three days we were there. Just sounds of beautiful birds and other wildlife. We saw wallabies just outside the house grazing by the pond. And kangaroos jumping in the grasses nearby. The bathroom and toilet were great. The bedroom amazing with its views, although it got hot at night as it does not have air con and we had a heatwave during our stay Downstairs stays cool as it does have air con. It’s beautifully furnished and the kitchen is very well kitted out. Nice big fridge freezer The bbq needs some skill to cook effectively on as it has no vents to control cooking - it’s just a beer barrel cut in half - not a designed BBQ. But if you know what you are doing around BBQ’s it works fine. Plenty of charcoal supplied by Anya so we cooked on it every nightWe had planned to eat out in Blackheath at least one night but when we arrived and saw how beautiful the location is we just stayed there for three days without leaving. We would highly recommend Porters Cottage if like to escape the holiday crowds and live with the wild nature - but in comfort rather than camping !

Great location and spectacular views. The house its self was just lovely and felt cozy and comfortable. Waking up to the view from the bedroom was incredible. The property was packed with wildlife and great bird watching to keep you entertained while you have your morning coffee on the deck. Will definitely have to come back. Thanks again for a wonderful stay!
