Very pleasant stay
The property was in a quiet, handy location, with plenty of room for 4 of us for two nights. We were notified when the property was ready so that we could check in early, and the property was warm and cosy on arrival. A very pleasant stay.

Interesting house with impressive arty interior
House was great, clean, well-presented, within quiet neighborhood & easy walking distance to Blackheath village. We found the beds & bathrooms comfortable. Parking limited to street. Will recommend to friends.

Good location, unique house.
House is in a very good location, short walk to Blackheath. Very interestingly designed house, might not be to everyone's taste. Lots of steps down to the front door, little difficult to take luggage down, not wheelchair accessible. Kitchen was well equipped, and 2 bathrooms were very convenient. Hot water more than adequate. Oven in kitchen needed matches to light, which for safety should really have some detailed instructions (For lighting grill and oven). House was well insulated, and didn't get too cold, and the gas heater was very effective when it did get cold. The tiles are a bit cold though, so slippers are a good idea. Wood heater is a bit tricky to use, tended to put fire out with the door shut. Single beds were comfortable, 1 queen was a little sagged, but otherwise okay. Sheets and towels were very good quality Windows could do with fly-wire, some had them, some were broken, and some didn't have flywire at all. The welcome package supplied by Blue Mountain Escapes was extremely useful, had a small amount of tea, coffee pods, dishwashing liquid and scrubber and gloves. Could do with some bins, but plastic bags do the job. Small amount of DVDs and books around, and a smallish TV for entertainment. Internet is 4G, and while adequate, did buffer at times for streaming. Overall, we were quite happy with the house and location. Will likely return in the future.

OK but overpriced
Stayed two nights over the school holidays, as we had a wedding in the nearby Megalong Valley. Property was interesting. Probably better for an adults only stay. The backyard was a rather depressing patch of dirt, with no privacy. The entrance is quite steep from the road and some of the path is narrow and is without railing. Most of the property was clean except for some of the linen, and one of the bathrooms. The gas heater was excellent and no need to start the fire. Property could do with a dishwasher, larger TV and maybe an electric frypan. We could not start the gas oven but had more luck with the stove top, although it took a while to hunt down something to light it with. For what we paid, it was overpriced.

Quirky and Cosy
Great place to celebrate a 50th (COVID version) with the fam! We walked to brekky and were a close drive to all the top walks. The house was comfortable and cosy. Would definitely recommend.

Property was extremely impressive, and stay was v enjoyable, but be careful not to book through expedia, as I did, as they go through a third party site and I was charged booking fees by the third party.

Great property, convenient to town.
The Upcycle house has a ton of personality. We all enjoyed it very much; good beds, comfortable layout. Nice short walk to town. Only minor issue (0.1 of a star!) was that the lighting could really be better - it is taking upcycling and eco-consciousness a bit far with very dim lights in some places.
