Blue Mountains, NSW
A secluded mud brick cottage deep in the bush in the upper Blue Mountains. Slow-combustion fire, valley views. Silence.. but for the birdsong and frogs.

A Place Apart
Hat Hill Cottage sits on acres of cool temperate bush in the upper Blue Mountains, ninety minutes from Sydney. The mud brick cottage was built using local materials. Expect a feeling a remoteness, a sense of calm, and a slower pace of life, yet within five minutes of the village cafes and five minutes from world renowned bushwalks.
And nothing you don't.
Wood supplied. The house warms itself.
With views of the treetops.
Fast enough for a film, slow enough to forget work.
Cast iron, good knives, a proper coffee setup.
No neighbours visible from the house.
Fenced garden. Bush walks on the leash.
We came for a weekend and stayed a week. The fire never went out, the coffee was better than any cafe in Sydney, and on the third morning a lyrebird sang outside the bedroom window. We have already booked again.- Sarah & Tom, Marrickville
Where We Are
Hat Hill Cottage is in Blackheath, the highest village in the Blue Mountains. It's cooler than the towns below, quieter, and set amongst the best bushwalks. The train from Sydney stops here. The village has a couple of bakeries, a bookshop, and a pub that was established in 1833.
