A friend of mine recommended this place to me, namely because he had grown up in the area, and that…read morethey had a really cheap pool table. Well, unfortunately I'm not the sort of person that really knows how to, or is particularly interested in, playing pool by myself, but I do have to admit that it certainly was quite a cheap table (in fact it seems as if they hadn't increased the price in decades). Mind you, the problem was that they really didn't have a huge selection of beers, which was a bit of a shame for a pub that is located in such a nice old building, in a place that is rather touristy. Still, to counter that, the service was actually pretty good, and they did have a rather nice beer garden as well.

I had a fantastic stay at the Parklands Country Garden & Lodges in Blackheath. It really is a…read morepicture perfect setting. I booked into one of the loft rooms, which was quite spacious with a king bed and multiple sitting areas, 2 flat panel tvs, rainforest double shower and a working gas fireplace. All of the rooms are brand new as of only a few months ago. The lodges are all situated in a really peaceful setting, and the gardens are a delight to wander around, just be mindful of the duck droppings by the pond. It's worthwhile to get the breakfast option ($25 in advance, $35 on site) which includes a small buffet and a selection of made to order items all served in a charming country house setting with quite the view of the gardens. The location while very relaxing is a bit of a walk from the small village of Blackheath and the scenic lookout point of Govett's Leap, and maybe a 10-15 min drive to the larger towns of the Blue Mountains. There are no dining options for lunch or dinner on-site, so you'll definitely want to bring the car. All in, it's a great spot to relax and really get away from it all.

The venue itself is exquisite. Every detail of the decor is charming and in line with the historical significance of The Carrington. Facilities are always clean and the staff patient despite the size of the crowd. I can't give five stars since I have never been in a private guest room, but if the public spaces are any indication, this is a great place to stay.
