About this property

Potters Studio - 100 acres of paradise!

Nestled at the base of Mount Blackheath, the 100 acre property is surrounded by magnificent Blue Mountains escarpments, peaceful forest and open grassland.

Kangaroos, echidnas, goannas, wombats and myriads of birds at your doorsteps, and a frog chorus at dusk, this is truly a nature lover paradise and birdwatcher heaven.

THE STUDIO

Designed and built by Australian Potter John Robertson using natural materials and recycled timber, combining rustic simplicity and comfort, the studio is completely off the grid and solar powered.

On the ground floor you will find a light-filled open plan kitchen and dining area with a cosy wood fireplace, a spacious living room with a second fireplace, a bathroom with shower and a separate toilet.

Upstairs, two comfortable bedrooms provide a peaceful retreat.

Step out onto the large veranda where a dining table and BBQ invite you to relax and soak up the views.

A fire pit is located at the front of the studio for evenings under the stars. Down by the dam, guests can unwind in bean bags or rocking chairs surrounded by magnificent escarpments.

Eco friendly materials are used wherever possible: organic (OEKO-Tex® certified) linen bedding; Australian made wool quilts, mohair throws and duck down pillows; quality cotton towels and hand knotted woollen Persian rugs are all provided for your comfort.

PLEAS NOTE

This is TV free retreat. 4G/5G mobile receptions are available, however we encourage our guests to switch off their mobile devices and instead take a walk around the astonishingly beautiful Kanimbla Valley. Bring your bicycles and go for a ride, try yoga during pink sunsets, meditate under ancient gum trees, go for a horse ride, roll in blue clay at the dam. Or just lay back on the verandah with that book that you always wanted to read but never had time, and submerge into the songs of Australian birds with butterflies gliding by.

There is so much to see and experience, just let your inner child come alive to play and enjoy nature’s simple offerings.

Great location and spectacular views. The house its self was just lovely and felt cozy and comfortable. Waking up to the view from the bedroom was incredible. The property was packed with wildlife and great bird watching to keep you entertained while you have your morning coffee on the deck. Will definitely have to come back. Thanks again for a wonderful stay!

Megalong Beauty

Beautiful property set amongst the lovely Megalong Valley escarpment. We saw plenty of wildlife ranging from ducks, parrots, kangaroos and wallabies. Megalong Tearooms was a great place for breakfast. We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay.

A relaxing holiday in the quiet bush of the Blue Mountains

The property is a wow. Plenty of space inside with a rustic charm that is modern. An ideal spot to recharge with the bush. If you love birdlife this is a must. The two of us and our two dogs just loved the place.

Peace and tranquility

This is a beautiful property. The views are just stunning and it’s so peaceful. All you can hear is birdsong. The house is very attractive, clean and well appointed with everything you need. The beds are very comfortable and the shower is fabulous. The hosts, Anya and Michael, were great. We’ve had a wonderful stay at this property and we would definitely like to return again one day for another holiday.

Perfect and Picturesque

The bird life on the property was wonderful, being greeted by crimson rosellas every morning while enjoying a cup of tea. The views were breathtaking, when the sunset hits the surrounding cliffs it was spectacular to see. The house was clean and warm, with a rustic charm. My pups didn't want to leave and neither did I, they made good friends with the cocker spaniel residents who were very fun. We will definitely be returning.

Our host Anya was very good at communicating with us before and during our stay. Potters Studio is brilliant. So quiet. We did not hear sound from another human being for the three days we were there. Just sounds of beautiful birds and other wildlife. We saw wallabies just outside the house grazing by the pond. And kangaroos jumping in the grasses nearby. The bathroom and toilet were great. The bedroom amazing with its views, although it got hot at night as it does not have air con and we had a heatwave during our stay Downstairs stays cool as it does have air con. It’s beautifully furnished and the kitchen is very well kitted out. Nice big fridge freezer The bbq needs some skill to cook effectively on as it has no vents to control cooking - it’s just a beer barrel cut in half - not a designed BBQ. But if you know what you are doing around BBQ’s it works fine. Plenty of charcoal supplied by Anya so we cooked on it every nightWe had planned to eat out in Blackheath at least one night but when we arrived and saw how beautiful the location is we just stayed there for three days without leaving. We would highly recommend Porters Cottage if like to escape the holiday crowds and live with the wild nature - but in comfort rather than camping !

A hidden Gem.

This place is a hidden gem. My partner & I had a wonderful time here. We both paint & spent our time painting the incredible surroundings. It’s so serene. There is a steep staircase to the upstairs, so perhaps not great for elderly or very small children, but plenty of open plan areas to be still & just be. Teaming with chirping native birds Ever changing colours in the sky & also the rocky escarpment Which you can enjoy from the comfort of the upstairs bed or walking around the property. The lovely owners have clearly put a lot of work into this beautiful place.

Loved it

Had an amazing honey/babymoon here. The drive down to the cottage from Blackheath feels like entering another world, there is definitely a part on the way that feels a bit like Jurassic Park. The house itself is amazing as you can see in photos with a unique and eclectic style that feels both homely and different enough to be "on holidays". The kitchen is a joy to cook in, the shower is hot and the beds as comfy as any high end hotel. The scenery and view from the patio, bedroom and walking around are amazing and really inspire a sense of awe. So many little touches from the variety of teas to the fresh flowers in vases around made this feel so special. Thanks so much for having us and hopefully we will be back again one day.

Getting your all-important Nature fix !

The location of the property is the perfect antidote to fast-paced city life; an idyllic bush setting with views to the mountains and the feeling of being remote yet being only 20 min away from services. Finding the location of the property and check-in were made very easy by Ana. The master bedroom in the accomodation has a magnificient vista of the valley and mountains. The cottage is spacious with multiple lounge and dining areas as well as a shaded deck to relax and dine. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need for cooking up a storm. I found that the combination of the setting, views and the sounds of the birds and frogs made it the perfect place to really relax fully !

Great Hideaway

Me and a couple of friends came to the Blie Mountains for a few days to run in the UTA starting in Katoomba. House was only 30 minutes away and perfect for what we wanted. All the fires were set up for us when we arrived, the beds were very comfortable, the view from the house was great and it was a very relaxing vibe. No issues with 4G working and the kitchen had all the appliances you would want. We didn’t get to explore the property as much as we would have wanted as we were all too sore after our race but we would definitely stay here again.

Relaxing and peaceful mountain getaway

Absolutely loved Potters Studio! We were greeted by a warm fire lit in the fireplace upon arrival , which was a welcome relief from the rain. The view from the main bedroom was breathtakingly beautiful to wake up to every morning we were there and loved watching the native birds, wallabies and even had two cute rabbits pay us a visit. We will definitely be coming back❤️
