About this house rental
Welcome to Te Kāinga Maunga, our two-storey mountain home on the edge of Blackheath. Four bedrooms, two cosy lounges—one for firelit chats and board games, the other for movie nights and kids’ retreats. A modern kitchen flows onto the back deck, where the BBQ, wood-fired pizza oven, private spa, sauna, and garden invite slow evenings under the sky. Just a short drive to Evans Lookout and the village, this is where mountain time begins.
Why Book Te Kāinga Maunga
• Relax & Unwind: Private spa and sauna on the deck—perfect for soaking under the stars.
• Outdoor Living: Wood-fired pizza oven, Weber BBQ, hammock, and large lounge on the back deck.
• Spacious Comfort: Four bedrooms, two living rooms, and plenty of space for families or friends.
• Mountain Magic: Just minutes from Evans Lookout, Govetts Leap, and iconic Blue Mountains walks.
• Village Charm: Easy access to Blackheath’s cafés, restaurants, and boutique shops.
• Family & Kids Friendly: Large garden, soft lawn, and separate spaces for kids to play or retreat.
The Space
This two-storey retreat is perfect for families or friends, with three distinct zones to spread out and relax: Upstairs, Downstairs, and Back Deck & Outdoor Living.
Upstairs:
• Living room bathed in sunlight by day and cosy for movie nights by night.
• Huge leather couch and large TV—perfect for binge-watching or giving kids their own retreat.
• Spacious desk and monitor available for anyone who needs to work while away.
• Two bedrooms: one queen, one with two king singles.
• Bathroom with shower, toilet, and sink.
Downstairs:
• Welcoming sitting room with leather armchairs and a glowing fireplace—perfect for long chats, board games, or quiet moments with a glass of wine.
• Semi open-plan dining space for eight, flowing into a thoughtfully designed kitchen with ample room for group cooking and casual snacks at the island bench.
• Master queen bedroom and a double bedroom.
• Freshly renovated bathroom with bathtub and separate shower, plus a separate toilet.
Back Deck & Outdoor Living:
French doors open onto the deck, where a large outdoor lounge, Weber BBQ, hammock, private spa, and sauna create a dreamy space to unwind. The wood-fired pizza oven sits here too—grab your favourite toppings from the local deli and fire up an Italian feast under the stars. With minimal light pollution, the night sky here is dazzling and unforgettable.
Beyond the deck lies a sprawling garden and soft lawn—perfect for kids (and grown-ups) to play while others relax with a drink in hand.
Comfort & Connectivity
• Warm & Cosy: Combustion fireplace downstairs, ducted heating throughout, and air conditioning to keep every corner of the house comfortable in any season.
• Stay Connected: NBN internet and a spacious desk with a monitor upstairs—perfect for remote work or keeping in touch while away.
• Entertainment Ready: Upstairs living room with a large TV, plus downstairs lounge ideal for board games, reading, or firelit chats.
• Family-Friendly Extras: Soft lawns and garden space for kids to play, with dedicated spaces upstairs and downstairs for everyone to spread out.
Practicalities
• Off-street parking for two cars, plus additional street parking if needed.
Location
Te Kāinga Maunga perfectly blends adventure and relaxation:
• Evans Lookout: 3km away, with sweeping views over the Grose Valley and access to the iconic Grand Canyon walking track.
• Govetts Leap: 5km away, magical at any time of day.
• Blackheath Village: Explore unique boutiques, incredible food at Ate or Osteria 2785, or sip something special at Side B or Frankie & Mo’s.
• Local dining: Blaq Restaurant at the Kyah Hotel is just 500 metres from your door.
Whether you’re here for the walks, the views, the food, or simply the stillness, we hope you find the same magic in this mountain home that we do.

Fantastic house in an excellent location. We were so impressed by the size, condition, cleanliness and equipment of the house. We all loved the hot tub and sauna, especially after the Grand Canyon walk. My eldest son spent a lot of time looking at the stars through the telescope. Excellent communication and responsiveness from our host. One of the best short-rental properties we've ever stayed in.

We had the most incredible stay at this beautiful mountain retreat! Five of us came for a girls’ weekend, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The property is beautiful —so cozy, warm, and clean. It truly had everything we needed and more.The beds were comfortable, and the sheets felt so luxurious, which made it even easier to relax and unwind. We especially loved all the thoughtful extra touches—the coffee machine with fresh beans ready to go, the chopped firewood for a cozy night in, and the record player with a great selection of records that added such a lovely atmosphere.The brand new spa and sauna are a wonderful touch set in a gorgeous garden, they made the whole experience feel like a private retreat. It was the perfect place to relax, recharge, and enjoy each other’s company.We had the most amazing, peaceful weekend in a great location and left feeling completely refreshed. We would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a realxing getaway!

Great cosy cottage - loved the well eqipped kitched and tasteful firnishings! Fire was gorgeous. Has a truely enormous TV upstairs but we actually never turned it on preferring to chat in the downstairs lounge room near the fire - so unplanned digital detox an added bonus!
