Carawatha | Private location in Blackheath with a rural feel
Nestled in the heart of the Blue Mountains, Carawatha is a beautifully renovated 1960s four-bedroom home that captures the essence of tranquility, nature, and charm.

The property features spacious living and dining areas, a fully equipped modern kitchen, and a generous rear deck overlooking the Hat Hill Creek gully. Two slow-combustion fireplaces and gas central heating ensure warmth through the cooler months, while free Wi-Fi and a smart TV add a touch of modern convenience.
Guests can enjoy easy access to nearby attractions such as the Rhododendron Gardens, Baltzer Lookout, and Hanging Rock. With pet-friendly accommodation and space for up to eight guests, Carawatha is perfect for families, couples, or groups seeking a relaxing mountain getaway surrounded by native beauty.
