Westhill & Wood Duck Cabin

Welcome to Westhill & Wood Duck Cabin

Blackheath is an historic and quaint upper mountain village in the world heritage national park of Australia's Blue Mountains. It is a one and a half hours drive from Sydney and a trip into another world.

The village is sophisticated having some of the best restaurants in the Mountains, galleries, antique shops, cafés and bakeries, yet it retains that Aussie "laid back" character for which it is famous. The area is home to wonderful bushwalks, ranging from gentle strolls to the most challenging in the Mountains.

See fantastic waterfalls and awesome views, superb wildflowers and native fauna! Canoeing, abseiling, horse riding, mountain biking are all possible, as well as a round of golf at the picturesque and challenging Blackheath Golf Course. Beautiful gardens abound and there are many sites of historical interest. You may just want to sit back, relax and drink in the cool, green and peaceful ambience of this very special part of the world.

Westhill is a turn-of-the century timber country house, with a modern extension designed by Australia's prize winning Architect, Glenn Murcutt. Featured in the publication, "Australian Style", it is stated that "the materials used are those of the early white settlers, the ambience created is a modern adaptation to a primitive world".

Wood Duck Cabin is part of the original property. Glenn Murcutt adapted the Cabin to provide guest accommodation for two.

Set on 1.6 hectares of land, Westhill and Wood Duck Cabin are secluded, completely private and bounded by the National Park.

Westhill and Wood Duck Cabin may be booked separately or together to accommodate up to 10 people.

Famous Blackheath Walks; the Braeside Track, the Cliff Walk, Bridal Veil Falls and Evans Lookout are all accessible from the back door. The property features an old Pine Forest, expansive grassland, deciduous Woodland and gorgeous established cold climate Mountain gardens.

You may wish to sit in the cool, velvety shade of the Woodland listening to birdsong and watch Crimson Rosellas, King Parrots, Honeyeaters and Cockatoos feed off fruit and blossom in the Orchard, while native Wood Ducks cruise past waterlilies on the Dam.

Wrap yourself up in the silky warm mountain mists of summer, drink in the brilliant black starry night skies, enjoy the sight, sound, smell, warmth and romance of an open log fire in winter.
