Typical historic B&B in a beautiful old building with period features. Great location within walking distance of Blackheath township and its shops and restaurants. The best was really comfortable, coupled with a quiet dark room for a good night's sleep. What was missing for me was space outside the room. There wasn't much outdoor common space and the inside common room was not much more than an entrance foyer.

Lovely place to stay

What a gorgeous place to stay, lovely gardens, rooms and great location. A bit noisy traffic wise and would recommend numbering parking as we went out and came back and there were no spots left- we had to squeeze into a space.

Rowan Brae is an historic house with all the period features and furnishing with modern twists (USB power points, modern bathrooms etc.) We enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing stay, and our host was very friendly and helpful. The rooms are tastefully furnished and the personal touches made the stay perfect. The house is surrounded by beautiful gardens where visitors can relax or make use of the croquet provided. Breakfast is provided on a self-serve basis. There was an incredible feast available from cereals, toast and juices to eggs and ham and cheese muffins. Plenty of extras such as cakes, Danishes, fruit and a range of teas and coffees. The rooms on the front face the Great Western Highway so there is some traffic noise during busy times. However, the house is completely screened from the road by beautiful trees and hedgerows. Easy walking to restaurants and cafes and a short drive to amazing views of the Megalong and Grose Valleys. Definitely recommended for a mini break.
