WARAGIL COTTAGE

There is no television or WiFi at Waragil Cottage… enjoy the serenity!

Nestled within beautiful, rambling gardens, Waragil Cottage is a heritage-listed retreat in the heart of Blackheath where timeless charm meets modern comfort. As the original settler’s cottage from the 1800s, this character-filled home offers a unique historical atmosphere that guests consistently praise. The cottage features a split-level layout with a few gentle internal stairs,adding to its charm. Three steps lead from the main lounge into a bedroom and bathroom, and another three descend into the sunroom and kitchen at the rear of the house.

Inside, you’ll find two generously sized lounge rooms, each thoughtfully designed for comfort and relaxation. The main living area flows into an open-plan dining space, warmed by a gas log fireplace—perfect for gathering. The front lounge, centred around an open fireplace, offers a cosy spot to unwind. At the rear, the sunroom serves as a peaceful dining or reading area, with large windows overlooking the garden and bathing the space in soft afternoon light.

Waragil Cottage comfortably sleeps 9–10 guests with a flexible layout. Both main bedrooms feature queen-sized beds, with the master offering ensuite access and an additional single fold-out futon. The sunroom can be converted into a third bedroom with a double bed and a second fold-out single futon. The front lounge includes a small double click-clack sofa bed, suitable for one adult or two children. A portable cot is also available for families travelling with infants.

The modern kitchen is fully equipped for easy meal preparation, complete with a dishwasher and an adjoining laundry with a washing machine and dryer.

The stylish bathroom features a walk-in shower, heat lamp, and heated towel rack for added comfort.

Outdoors, enjoy breakfast on the sunlit, north-east-facing front porch or relax in the large, fenced backyard. Children will love the tree swing and open space to play, while adults can unwind in the peaceful garden surrounds. The sunroom is especially inviting in the golden afternoon light.

Just a 7-minute walk (450m) from Blackheath Train Station, Waragil Cottage offers easy access to scenic lookouts, bushwalking trails, wildflower gardens, gourmet cafés, and world-class rock climbing. Its prime location near the village and the stunning Blue Mountains is another reason guests return time and again.

Whether you’re here to explore or simply unwind, Waragil Cottage offers a beautiful blend of past and present—a place to relax, reconnect, and create lasting memories.

    We booked through Accommodated and they didn't return phone calls or emails and as a host myself they were very disappointing in their professionalism. As to the property, it sleeps 11 as long as a full paying person sleeps on the lounge as the pull out bed couldn't be accessed with removing both lounges and there was nowhere to put them. The other sleeping accommodation was wooden sun lounges for 5 people as there were only 3 double beds. Be prepared for this. One toilet for 11 people and a lack of toilet paper had us buying our own.

    A quaint blue mountains period cottage with great bushland walks just a block away (not national park, so good for the dogs too!). A wonderful setting where the branches of the family celebrated Christmas. The changing levels in the house was a bit challenging for an elderly relative, and the one bathroom could be in high demand if full with 10 people. Except for one room, there were no flyscreens, so getting air flow on hotter days meant possible flies or mossies.

    Overall the stay was fine, but the ceiling in the sitting room is collapsing! The second night we sat at the table in another room as it looked that bad and was getting worse . . . sent an email to the property manager but no reply yet. Do not rent until they have fixed this . . .

    We left our stay at Waragil Cottage NOT feeling as relaxed as we had hoped! While we were there we experienced a leak from the roof during a rainstorm (that looked to have already been patched with a cloth/sponge) onto the stairs, the dryer stopped working, the microwave seemed to trip a safety fuse for the house a number of times and the gas heater continually needed to be relit (maybe we didn’t know how to properly work it but we felt we followed the instructions given as best as we could). Please also be aware, as can be seen in the house pictures, that the third bedroom as mentioned is a sunroom but it only has sheer curtains to the outside, and windows without curtains facing into it from both the kitchen and a separate sitting room, as well as an open doorway with no door so privacy was non-existent and not amenable to sleep if someone was using the kitchen or sitting room as there was no curtains to block the light. Also be aware that the bathroom has entrances to it from a bedroom, and another room near the sunroom, and we found the locks on the doors were not easy to operate. The house did have a cosy feel to it and we appreciated the kitchen but for the price we paid we would not personally return.

    Waragil House was a perfect getaway location for my family including my dad, husband, daughter and dog. Though the cottage seems small from the outside there is plenty of room for everyone to spread out with 2 lounge room areas, 2 dining areas and cosy nooks. We loved for front porch for breakfast and an afternoon drink. The cottage is perfectly located only a couple of streets from both the main shops and the walking trails on the left side of Blackheath which are dog friendly. We stayed a week and enjoyed a different walk every day with the dog.

    Interesting mix of old and new parts of the house. Would love to know some of the history behind the different parts of the house. Close to everything including great bush walks.The stairs inside were a challenge for elderly, but otherwise cosy.

    We enjoyed our stay at Waragil Cottage in beautiful Blackheath. The house was very well appointed, lovely premises, cosy and great for your family and dogs (big fenced yard). Close enough to walk to shops and cafes in Blackheath as well as the wonderful Porters Pass walking and other walking tracks.

    Such a gorgeous little place! My partner and I stayed along with 2 children and we loved it. Nice and close to Blackheath shops and not too far from so many great bush walks as well as Katoomba if you're feeling like hitting the town. Would recommend!
