Blackheath New South Wales Accommodation and Holiday Information

Make sure you take a bushwalk on one of the many walking tracks from Blackheath or nearby. Stay in a quaint guesthouse, dine well in cafes, pubs and restaurants, or play a round of golf at the Blackheath Golf Club, that's lined with cool-climate trees.

Blackheath Rhododendron Festival is held on the first weekend in November - it's a great introduction to the beauty of seasonal gardens in the area.

Historic towns further west include Hartley and Mount Victoria.

If you live in Sydney and are looking for a peaceful place to retreat to for a couple of days, Blackheath will provide that much-needed change of pace you've been craving. Surrounded by natural bushland and breathtaking views, this area of the Blue Mountains is a popular spot for honeymoons and wedding anniversaries.

But there's also plenty on offer for anyone who just wants to get out into the great outdoors and make the most of life. For instance, why not explore the Blue Mountains National Park by kayak or canoe? Plus there are plenty of walking tracks around the Blackheath area that cater to bushwalkers of all levels. Don't forget to keep an eye out for Australian native birds and wildlife while you're there, as the Blue Mountains is home to several species of animals.

Another feature of Blackheath is the beautifully manicured gardens which proliferate the area. In springtime, you'll be greeted by an array of colourful flowers in bloom, while in autumn the streets turn to gold as the season changes.

Accommodation options in Blackheath range from motor inns and motels, through to tranquil eco lodges, guesthouses and hotels. There really is no better way to relax after an exhilarating day of bushwalking than to sink into a nice hot bath in one of the most picturesque parts of Australia.
