Living spaces comprise a fully functioning kitchen, and a large, cozy lounge room with Jet master fireplace and a large, sun dappled bay window. Blankets & throws, TV/VCR/DVD/iPod dock stereo, with a wide variety of movies, CDs, magazines and books allows you to completely relax and soak up an authentic mountains atmosphere.

Overall, we had a nice stay at the house. It was charming, clean, spacious, well-furnished and had a nice garden and attractive location in Blackheath. Two things we think that can be improved are: 1. My wife has asthma, and the perfumes and essential oils used in the house brought on a number of asthma attacks. We had to temporarily move the essential oil sticks to stop the breathing difficulties caused. I can understand the owner wanting to create a certain country atmosphere, but this doesn't work for everyone. Maybe reducing the quantity of perfumes used and checking with clients about breathing health issues beforehand can improve things for those who are sensitive and react to perfume smells. 2. It was very cold when we were there. We had to keep the heaters going strong to keep warm. However, the missing door between the front foyer and the living room and the thin curtains used made it a challenge to keep the house warm. These issues could be rectified. Otherwise, all else was good. Thank you, Rein

Was a lovely, old style cottage with character. Felt homely the way it is set up and decorated. Bed was so cozy and comfortable, kitchen well equipped and gas heater was lovely and provided efficient warmth during my stay. Walking distance from the town and short drives to the most beautiful hikes and waterfalls. Overall, had a lovely stay and hope to be back.

This property is just an old deteriorated weatherboard house in deplorable condition with health risks. I have sent an email to management, with photographs. To summarize: * Gas was the only heating option in the living room and kitchen. There was a smell caused by the heater in the kitchen possibly a leak causing us to suffer from headaches and sour throats whilst we were in those areas. The gas fireplace in the lounge room was inadequate to heat that area completely. There is no air conditioner to assist with complete heating. The house was always cold; * The lounge chairs weren't fit for purpose. They were way too low to the floor, and the springs could be felt when any of these were sat on and had mismatching seat cushions. They were also very dirty and worn; * The shower was mouldy * The cottage was dirty with stained crockery and leftover food from previous guests. * It was not possible to close the bedroom windows and the flyscreen was broken and propped against the curtain. • The curtains were inadequate for privacy and heat retention to the rooms, * The property was in poor condition, both inside and outside. * The pathway to the property was unsafe with loose paving with uneven

Charming older style cottage kept warm in winter with good gas fireplaces. It’s in a great location close to all my favourite walking tracks and just lovely walking around the local streets. Really looking forward to returning soon. Rod was incredibly helpful and understanding when our plans were changing due to illness.

Dowling cottage is a lovely old traditional- style blackheath weatherboard cottage, with lots of character. We had a great stay with our dog, and the cottage is not far from the dog friendly walking track at centennial glen. It’s also an easy walk to the blackheath shops and gardens.

The house is super cute, a lovely old weatherboard with heaps of character. The bedrooms and lounge are lovely and heating definitely keeps out any chill. Bathroom and kitchen are dated but totally functional. The house is really close to the porters pass walking track and a short walk to the shops.

From the moment we arrived we were delighted with the area (Blackheath) and the lovely cottage. Our Christmas stay was wonderful Relaxing by the open fire of a night with champagne and nibbles. We also explored the surrounding areas and enjoyed a beautiful High Tea at The Majestic which is not far from Blackheath. Highly Recommend!!

Great stay, although loads of rain we stayed warm with the fire/ heaters and blankets. Traditional original cottage for an authentic mountains visit.

Property very clean, great bathroom and sunny dining nook and comfy beds. Sadly this old property is in need of maintenance, rotting timbers (inside and out) and very overgrown garden making the house very dark inside. Also there is a lack of fly screens which makes the house stuffy. Windows could be opened, I understand, but because of the overgrown garden, there were lots of mozzies so it was not an option to open them. We enjoyed the lovely open fire and position of the property although there is no place for you to park your car on the property. We loved the beautiful fresh flowers which was a lovely gesture and candles and bread, orange juice and condiments were offered as well. With a bit of work this lovely old house could be restored to its former gloryl

A quaint cottage but the loungeroom was musty and very damp and there was black mould on the ceiling in the main bedroom and bathroom! presenting a health hazard. There was disparity between the photos on the website and the realistic condition of the cottage. The blackheath village is very friendly and the lanscape is breathtaking. Owner needs to rectify the damp and mould problems.
