Beautiful retreat
"Six Oaks" Wilderness Retreat is a beautifully renovated cottage hidden away in the rural ends of Mulgoa Valley at the foot of the Blue Mountains. "Six Oaks" sits on twenty-five acres of bush and garden, sharing the landscape with the area's abundant wildlife, the kangaroos grazing each morning and afternoon with the rainbow lorikeets often joining them. The newly renovated cottage bespeaks of a bygone era of leisure and relaxation in the country. It is equipped with a queen-size bed, sheets of Egyptian cotton, fine quality towels, and plenty of blankets to keep you warm on colder winter nights. You can also enjoy cooking in its complete kitchen whilst listening to the lorikeets, and we hope you enjoy the fresh herbs from our garden. If cooking isn't your thing, there are some great restaurants not far away; and the oldest pub in the region nearby is one of the most charming. There is also a separate office with wifi. After a day exploring the region and the grounds themselves, the cottage's elegant and comfortable interior provides plenty to the opportunity to fully get away from it all, providing plenty of books and games for you to enjoy whilst dipping into a bottle of wine, putting your feet up and enjoying a film at the end of the day. "Six Oaks" is perfect for lovers of nature looking to relax, rejuvenate, and heal. We look forward to your sharing this wonderful valley with us, and taking into yourselves some part of it with which we feel renewed each day.

Absolutely perfect
The cottage is perfect for a break away from civilisation, abundant wildlife, lorikeets came down each morning for breakfast with us, cottage was spotless and very comfortable, especially the bed. Could not find a fault with this place.

Peaceful & great value
It’s a very peaceful setting, lots of beautiful countryside all around. Kangaroos really do come up to the house. The house itself is clean and as the pictures depict. It was winter when we stayed and the single air conditioner didn’t do much to warm the bathroom or bedroom, but it was basically OK. Other owners were attentive and very helpful. Which is our one gripe with this property. Nowhere in the pictures or description does it mention the main house where the owners stay, is right next to this rental. You can see there house from the kitchen window, it’s a stones throw away. Their fruit garden is adjacent to the rental, I guess they sometimes tend to it, which would put them up against your window. Just be wary of that, if it doesn’t matter to you, this place is great value.

It was great fun and a great pleasure to host Elena and her partner. They were quiet, respectful and lovely to chat to. The cottage was kept clean and tidy and left in great order. They were so gentle and kind, so ticked all the boxes for perfect guests.

Perfect peace and tranquility
This was a perfect spot for my partner and I to re-charge our batteries over the October long weekend, after a few hectic weeks at work. The bed was super comfy and it was great just to relax outside in the sunshine, listening to the various bird calls, and watch the occasional kangaroos or fox wander by. We'll be back again I'm sure.

Honeymoon surprise - time out - relaxation
I booked this retreat for a surprise honeymoon for my daughter and new son-in-law as they love nature and all it involves. They absolutely loved it, especially the firepits, walking trails, wildlife, and serenity. They said the owners were amazing so they want me to book some time for myself.

Cristine and her husband were lovely guests. I enjoyed our brief interactions. Despite weather being unfavorable they said that they enjoyed their stay very much. The cottage was left very clean. All rules were observed. It was nice to meet them and hope to see them again.

Peaceful & Close to Nature
We were looking for somewhere peaceful and close to nature and we found it at Six Oaks where we stayed for a couple of days. The cottage was clean and cozy with a very comfortable bed. Provisions were supplied for a continental breakfast, which we didn't expect. We walked extensively around the property which is just beautiful, with the sound of bell birds never far away. On the day we checked out we had hoped to stay in the area for the remainder of the day but unfortunately the lockdown had occurred the previous evening and we had to head straight home. We hope to go there again some time.

Great little oasis to escape for the weekend
Lovely cottage. Spacious enough for a couple. The main room looks out onto the plain and woodlands, very tranquil and perfect if you're looking for an escape from the hectic day to day. The reverse cycle aircon provided sufficient heating for the place. A slow combustion stove would make it perfect. (There is a fire pit outside however, which was great!). The bed deserves extra mention - super comfy! The only small let down was the fact that the bedroom is East facing and has no curtains or blinds. So if you're looking forward to a sleep-in on your weekend away take your eye mask.
