Mold smelling
A nice big house that would be perfect if not for the very obvious smell of mold. Please take out the soft carpets and try to get rid of the smell. Then it would rise from low to high rate.

Bit disappointed
Great position, nice house that needs lots of tender loving care. Terrible musty smell on entering (perhaps someone could have opened windows anticipating our arrival). Despite the rain, mould on cupboard in laundry hadn’t been cleaned off recently.
Upstairs deck and table dirty and covered in leaves - appeared not to have been swept or table washed in weeks.
Poor supply of condiments (pepper grinder with no pepper), minimum sugar, tea coffee for 12 people, no tissues, not enough toilet paper, no soap in shower. Lack of hooks to hang towels (behind doors in bathrooms or bedrooms).
Could be a lovely place with a bit of thought and attention.

Enjoyable
The house was very comfortable, ample space for a large group. Great position very well equipped kitchen. Tidy inside but very untidy garden and backyard. Even the path to the entrance was covered with wet leaves which it was a hustle for old people. The house has a musty smell. Unfortunately the fridge was stinking with fish/prawns smell which contaminated our food. Beautiful property but it needs a bit of TLC. Nevertheless we enjoyed our gathering.

Blackheath stay
We were 8 adults, 3 children and a baby. The house was big enough for all of us, we had everything we need, being in winter, the central heating was very appreciated. It was the perfect place for us.

Great for big groups with kids
The house is quite huge with a massive and well equipped kitchen for cooking big group meals.
The communal space is also large and yet cosy. Spectacular views just a short stroll away. The central heating plus gas fireplace were both fantastic. Blackheath area is gorgeous. We really enjoyed our stay!
Overall the cleanliness was good but a few negatives to be fixed:
- the additional blankets (on shelves in bedrooms, not on beds) had big stains on them.
- the bedroom curtains were quite dusty so one of us had a hay fever problem.
- one of the elements on the stove top needs to be fixed.
- we couldn’t find the ‘compendium’ with local info, but there was helpful info in the kitchen counter.
Thanks - would definitely hire Hearthstone again.

A Fabulous Girls Weekend Away
We really enjoyed staying at Hearthstone for our recent girls weekend away. 10 of us stayed comfortably in this well equipped, clean, warm and spacious house. Hearthstone has a beautiful outlook and is well located near majestic bushland. Starting from the house we did a beautiful 5 hour hike through The Grand Canyon via Govett's Leap /Evans Lookout tracks.
The only recommendations would be to put some hooks or a towel rack in the downstairs bathroom, and also to clean the gauzes on the bathroom and kitchen windows. Otherwise a perfect stay..
