About this property
Potters Cottage - 100 acres of paradise!
Summer Mid-Week Escape Special! Stay 3 Nights, Pay for 2!
Explore magnificent Blue Mountains landscapes away from weekend crowds.
Book 2 nights (Mon & Tue or Tue & Wed) and enjoy your 3rd night FREE!
📅 Offer valid from 1 October 2025 to 31 March 2026.
* Excludes Christmas, New Year, and long weekends.
Nestled at the base of Mount Blackheath, the 100 acre property is surrounded by magnificent Blue Mountains escarpments, peaceful forest and open native grassland.
With kangaroos, echidnas, goannas, wombats and myriads of birds at your doorsteps with a frog chorus at dusk, this is truly a nature lover paradise and birdwatchers heaven.
Designed and built by well known Australian Potter John Robertson using natural materials and recycled timber, the cottage is completely off the grid, solar powered, with natural spring water on tap.
There are two bedrooms, each has a queen bed, open plan kitchen, one bathroom, a separate dining room and a lounge room with a cosy wood fireplace.
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, hot water bottles and hand knotted woolen Persian rugs are all provided for your comfort.
This is a TV-free retreat.
While WiFi and 4G/5G mobile reception (Telstra, Optus, Vodafone) are excellent here, we encourage our guests to switch off their devices and explore the beautiful Kanimbla Valley. Bring your mountain bikes and go for a ride, try yoga during pink sunsets, meditate under ancient gum trees, go for a horse ride, roll in the mud at the dam :) red clay is highly therapeutic - it cleanses, exfoliates, detoxifies and improves blood circulation! Or just lay back on the veranda with that book that you always wanted to read but never had time, and submerge into 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.

Thanks for the stay, we were looking for somewhere to enjoy the blackheath area but also have our own quiet space to reset and enjoy nature, it was perfect for us
Property was beautiful! Everything was very accessible the kitchen had everything we needed and it was a fantastic place to stay I will definitely be making it an annual trip
A wonderful place, beautiful nature all around. Cosy beds a good kitchen and the cottage fits perfectly into the landscape. Amazing bird life and kangaroos all around. An excellent retreat from the city.
If you are after a remote retreat surrounded by beautiful natural bush land this is it! Lots of friendly wildlife and my three dogs absolutely loved it 20 minutes from town where you can get pretty much anything you need great communication with the host we loved it
The property is serene and stunning.Very peaceful area. The cottage was superbly decorated. The bed was *chefs kiss!* super comfy. Overall we had a brilliant and relaxing stay with our 2 dogs who also loved it.
We had a great stay, the cottage and surrounding area are both fantastic. Communication from the owner was prompt helpful.
We’re looking forward to our next stay
Such a beautiful place to stay - immaculately clean as well as totally rustic and charming . So generously and beautifully furnished - lux linen bedding & mohair blanket luxury but in the middle of the bush - thankyou so much we will be back !

It was a pleasure hosting you, and I look forward to welcoming you back for your next Blue Mountains getaway :)
We had an amazing short break at the Potters cottage, it’s a beautiful little place with amazing serenity and wildlife. Its nice and remote without being completely isolated. Anya was a great host and we can’t wait to come back again soon.
We enjoyed 5 nights at Potters Cottage and could have stayed longer. The cottage is very comfortable and nicely furnished. It is in a quiet location with a beautiful outlook. A perfect place to relax and enjoy the warm fire and bush setting. The kitchen is excellent for cooking and everything is very clean. We had some really bad weather but that didn’t matter we loved being in the cottage. Thank you Anya!
Amazing retreat, quiet, private and the gorgeous cottage has everything you need, and some! Super comfy bed and linen. I’ll be back for sure :) Thanks Anya!
What a beautiful cabin. Wonderful location on the valley floor under spectacular escarpments. Loads of wildlife and such peace and serenity. Anya was a great host and kept us informed all the way.
Would love to return one day.
A beautiful and tranquil hideaway in the valley. The accommodation was beautiful, with fantastic views of the valley and escarpment. The host was very helpful and great with communication. Will definitely be back.
Beautiful location, a little piece of paradise.
The cottage is very cosy and we can’t wait to go back, one of the best places we stayed in the Blue Mountains.
Anya let us check out late as she didn’t have any booking for the next day.
Highly recommended!!
Beautiful location, cosy cabin, friendly native birds. Slightly more challenging to get to than some other places but well worth it. Get spot to disconnect :)
Property was in a quiet, picturesque and secluded location and was immaculately cleaned and presented. It had comfortable beds with heated blankets a great shower and a cracking fireplace... It had it all! We will definitely be coming back soon.
