Eco Woolshed

Eco Woolshed sits in Kanimbla Valley, on a 250-acre grazing property backed by sandstone escarpment and open countryside. The cabin's design takes its cues from the heritage shearing shed next door, with materials and lines borrowed from classic bush architecture. Access is via Blackheath, about 20 minutes away, which also means travelers coming from Sydney avoid any closures on Mt Victoria Pass or the Great Western Highway.

Inside, the two-bedroom layout sleeps up to four guests and has a full kitchen, so self-catering is straightforward. A private entrance and veranda look out over escarpment and farmland, and an outdoor fire pit has recently been added for evenings outside. There's no Wi-Fi and no TV signal, though 3G/4G mobile coverage reaches the property if a connection is needed. Pets aren't permitted.

The setting works as a base for walking the surrounding trails or simply sitting still with the view, and horses graze near the cabins. Blackheath village is close enough for cafes, shops and lookouts like Govetts Leap and Evans Lookout, while Megalong Valley and the national park trails are within easy reach for longer days out.

The property meets current Short Term Rental Accommodation requirements for smoke detectors and fire escapes, registered under STRA PID-STRA-14336-2. Bookings and enquiries go through the Woolshed Cabins website or by phone, and given the limited number of cabins on site, reserving ahead is worth doing if specific dates matter.
