About this property

Potters Studio - 100 acres of paradise!

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, solar powered, with natural spring water on tap.

There are 2 bedrooms upstairs, a shower room and a separate composting toilet, an open plan kitchen and living rooms with 2 Nectre wood fireplaces and large veranda to enjoy the views.

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, hot water bottles and hand knotted woollen Persian rugs are all provided for your comfort.

PLEAS NOTE

This is TV and Wi-Fi free retreat. 3G/4G 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.

Loved it
Had an amazing honey/babymoon here. The drive down to the cottage from Blackheath feels like entering another world, there is definitely a part on the way that feels a bit like Jurassic Park. The house itself is amazing as you can see in photos with a unique and eclectic style that feels both homely and different enough to be "on holidays". The kitchen is a joy to cook in, the shower is hot and the beds as comfy as any high end hotel. The scenery and view from the patio, bedroom and walking around are amazing and really inspire a sense of awe. So many little touches from the variety of teas to the fresh flowers in vases around made this feel so special. Thanks so much for having us and hopefully we will be back again one day.

Megalong Beauty
Beautiful property set amongst the lovely Megalong Valley escarpment. We saw plenty of wildlife ranging from ducks, parrots, kangaroos and wallabies. Megalong Tearooms was a great place for breakfast. We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay.

Perfect and Picturesque
The bird life on the property was wonderful, being greeted by crimson rosellas every morning while enjoying a cup of tea. The views were breathtaking, when the sunset hits the surrounding cliffs it was spectacular to see. The house was clean and warm, with a rustic charm. My pups didn't want to leave and neither did I, they made good friends with the cocker spaniel residents who were very fun. We will definitely be returning.

A hidden Gem.
This place is a hidden gem. My partner & I had a wonderful time here. We both paint & spent our time painting the incredible surroundings. It’s so serene. There is a steep staircase to the upstairs, so perhaps not great for elderly or very small children, but plenty of open plan areas to be still & just be. Teaming with chirping native birds Ever changing colours in the sky & also the rocky escarpment Which you can enjoy from the comfort of the upstairs bed or walking around the property. The lovely owners have clearly put a lot of work into this beautiful place.

Peace and tranquility
This is a beautiful property. The views are just stunning and it’s so peaceful. All you can hear is birdsong. The house is very attractive, clean and well appointed with everything you need. The beds are very comfortable and the shower is fabulous. The hosts, Anya and Michael, were great. We’ve had a wonderful stay at this property and we would definitely like to return again one day for another holiday.

A relaxing holiday in the quiet bush of the Blue Mountains
The property is a wow. Plenty of space inside with a rustic charm that is modern. An ideal spot to recharge with the bush. If you love birdlife this is a must. The two of us and our two dogs just loved the place.

Getting your all-important Nature fix !
The location of the property is the perfect antidote to fast-paced city life; an idyllic bush setting with views to the mountains and the feeling of being remote yet being only 20 min away from services. Finding the location of the property and check-in were made very easy by Ana. The master bedroom in the accomodation has a magnificient vista of the valley and mountains. The cottage is spacious with multiple lounge and dining areas as well as a shaded deck to relax and dine. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need for cooking up a storm. I found that the combination of the setting, views and the sounds of the birds and frogs made it the perfect place to really relax fully !

Great Hideaway
Me and a couple of friends came to the Blie Mountains for a few days to run in the UTA starting in Katoomba. House was only 30 minutes away and perfect for what we wanted. All the fires were set up for us when we arrived, the beds were very comfortable, the view from the house was great and it was a very relaxing vibe. No issues with 4G working and the kitchen had all the appliances you would want. We didn’t get to explore the property as much as we would have wanted as we were all too sore after our race but we would definitely stay here again.

Loved it!
My partner and I absolutely loved the Potters studio. The pictures don’t do it justice. Such a beautiful house- much bigger than I expected. The view was amazing, the kitchen was equipped with quality utensils, the bed was comfy and there were so many little details that set this accomodation apart. Really great for relaxing and resetting.

Relaxing and peaceful mountain getaway
Absolutely loved Potters Studio! We were greeted by a warm fire lit in the fireplace upon arrival , which was a welcome relief from the rain. The view from the main bedroom was breathtakingly beautiful to wake up to every morning we were there and loved watching the native birds, wallabies and even had two cute rabbits pay us a visit. We will definitely be coming back❤️
