My family and I had a wonderful week in Blackwood and the property suited us perfectly. There was enough room for us all to relax and there was great walks and bike trails close by as well.
The property was well set up and we had everything we needed in the kitchen.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for a place to stay away from the city in a quiet town.

Had a fantastic time staying at Blackwood Cobb and Co in Blackwood, Victoria.
Amazing property, great kitchen, cooking facilities, living area with wood fires, plenty of wood and kindling, DVD and some tv, surround sound, board games, ping pong table, piano, guitars.... Bedrooms with en-suite, nice hot water flow, very clean, lovely bedding, olde worlde style. Comfortable, relaxed, warm. Stayed an extra night.
A fantastic getaway, felt like more than three days. Didn’t want to leave !!!
Thank you David and Vera Collis for such a wonderful place and facilities.

We were looking for a disabled friendly property in that area and came across this property. The bedroom on the upper level is a bit cramped and there is no shower on the bathroom on the top level. While this was communicated to us by the owner, I missed read the email communication, so the error was mine.
The property previously operated as tea rooms/ cafe and hence has a commercial kitchen, lots of appliances and entertainment- board games, toys, even kid guitars and a piano! The lack of phone connectivity ( only Telstra services are available) was actually refreshing.
It was great for kids and there’s plenty of space so it’s good for big groups, and you can still have somewhere to retreat to for some “me” time. The bathrooms are a bit small, but the whole place has a lot of character and it grew on us. There were Kangaroos in the backyard at night!
