Melaleuca Cottage

Description

Melaleuca is a delightful older-style cottage, set in a mountain garden, overlooking the sandstone bluffs of Shipley plateau, bushland reserve and the Kanimbla valley.

It sleeps six, with a queen size bedroom, a double bedroom and a third bedroom with double bunks - with electric blankets, doonas and pillows on all the beds. For infants there is a cot.
SHEETS AND TOWELS ARE NOT PROVIDED.

There is a sitting room with open fire (firewood can be purchased at the petrol station in Blackheath) and a separate dining room. A modern gas space heater provides warmth to the entire house.
The dining room opens to a spacious sundeck with superb, uninterrupted views.

The bathroom and kitchen have both been recently renovated.
The bathroom includes a bath and shower, and there is unlimited hot water.
The kitchen is equipped with refrigerator, electric stove with ceramic cooktop, microwave and dishwasher - and lots of quality crockery and cookware.

There is a television, CD player and lots of holiday reading and board games.
A telescope is provided to let you look at the moon and stars -clearly visible away from the city smoke.

During school holidays bookings of one week's duration or longer are preferred. Shorter bookings can be taken one month prior to the start of the holiday.

What can you do there?

Some of the most beautiful walks in the Blue Mountains start near Blackheath. Melaleuca overlooks the start of the Centennial Glen and Porter's Pass walks, which take you into a secluded valley by waterfalls, through rainforest and eucalyptus forest, down a gorge full of fresh water pools and around the sandstone cliffs that tower over the Kanimbla valley.
More ambitious treks into the Grose Valley start a 10 minute drive away on the other side of Blackheath.

There is abundant wildlife in the vicinity of Melaleuca. Yellow-tailed black cockatoos frequent the area, as well as wedge-tailed eagles, kangaroos and many types of lizard.

There is plenty of good food available at Blackheath, ten minutes walk away, including the fine-dining Vulcan's and the Blackheath Patisserie with its excellent sourdough breads.
All provisions can be bought locally from Blackheath village, which features a supermarket, greengrocer and butcher shops.

There are also many gift shops, art galleries and antique shops, including the converted Victory Theatre, which has multiple outlets within a vast space. A wonderful and inexpensive cafe is attached.
