The front porch, with a north-east aspect, is a great place for sunny breakfasts and the rear sunroom gathers the heat in the afternoon.
Meander through the beautiful private gardens and find the tree swing in the large fenced backyard, that is perfect for families with children.

Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
We booked through Accommodated and they didn't return phone calls or emails and as a host myself they were very disappointing in their professionalism.
As to the property, it sleeps 11 as long as a full paying person sleeps on the lounge as the pull out bed couldn't be accessed with removing both lounges and there was nowhere to put them. The other sleeping accommodation was wooden sun lounges for 5 people as there were only 3 double beds.
Be prepared for this.
One toilet for 11 people and a lack of toilet paper had us buying our own.

Christmas in the mountains
A quaint blue mountains period cottage with great bushland walks just a block away (not national park, so good for the dogs too!). A wonderful setting where the branches of the family celebrated Christmas.
The changing levels in the house was a bit challenging for an elderly relative, and the one bathroom could be in high demand if full with 10 people. Except for one room, there were no flyscreens, so getting air flow on hotter days meant possible flies or mossies.

The ceiling is collapsing!
Overall the stay was fine, but the ceiling in the sitting room is collapsing! The second night we sat at the table in another room as it looked that bad and was getting worse . . . sent an email to the property manager but no reply yet. Do not rent until they have fixed this . . .

This property is fantastic very generous rooms and new kitchen and bathroom
I do not recommend this property for asthmatics or people with allergies
All bedrooms have significant mould and for me I needed to medicate myself for sleeping and developed allergy symptoms when sleeping
Otherwise exceptional property

Some issues
We left our stay at Waragil Cottage NOT feeling as relaxed as we had hoped! While we were there we experienced a leak from the roof during a rainstorm (that looked to have already been patched with a cloth/sponge) onto the stairs, the dryer stopped working, the microwave seemed to trip a safety fuse for the house a number of times and the gas heater continually needed to be relit (maybe we didn’t know how to properly work it but we felt we followed the instructions given as best as we could).
Please also be aware, as can be seen in the house pictures, that the third bedroom as mentioned is a sunroom but it only has sheer curtains to the outside, and windows without curtains facing into it from both the kitchen and a separate sitting room, as well as an open doorway with no door so privacy was non-existent and not amenable to sleep if someone was using the kitchen or sitting room as there was no curtains to block the light. Also be aware that the bathroom has entrances to it from a bedroom, and another room near the sunroom, and we found the locks on the doors were not easy to operate.
The house did have a cosy feel to it and we appreciated the kitchen but for the price we paid we would not personally return.

Mountain Getaway
Waragil House was a perfect getaway location for my family including my dad, husband, daughter and dog. Though the cottage seems small from the outside there is plenty of room for everyone to spread out with 2 lounge room areas, 2 dining areas and cosy nooks. We loved for front porch for breakfast and an afternoon drink. The cottage is perfectly located only a couple of streets from both the main shops and the walking trails on the left side of Blackheath which are dog friendly. We stayed a week and enjoyed a different walk every day with the dog.

Interesting Heritage house
Interesting mix of old and new parts of the house. Would love to know some of the history behind the different parts of the house. Close to everything including great bush walks.The stairs inside were a challenge for elderly, but otherwise cosy.

Cottage and lovely yard in excellent location to Blackhealth (short walk) and Porters Pass Walk.
We enjoyed our stay at Waragil Cottage in beautiful Blackheath. The house was very well appointed, lovely premises, cosy and great for your family and dogs (big fenced yard). Close enough to walk to shops and cafes in Blackheath as well as the wonderful Porters Pass walking and other walking tracks.

Cute little place perfect for family getaways
Such a gorgeous little place! My partner and I stayed along with 2 children and we loved it. Nice and close to Blackheath shops and not too far from so many great bush walks as well as Katoomba if you're feeling like hitting the town. Would recommend!

Wonderful stay
We enjoyed our time immensely staying in Warrigal cottage. The neighbourhood was delightfully tranquil and cosy; it was the perfect place to call home for two weeks in the mountains. The house was immaculate, full of charming character, and well-kitted out with anything we could possibly need. Communication with Heidi was fantastic. When we wanted to extend our stay, she was so incredibly helpful and made everything a smooth process. Thank you for sharing your home!
