Megalong Valley, home of the mill

Set on 17 acres, the Mill House is located in Megalong Valley, a beautiful 9km drive from the quaint village of Blackheath in the Upper Blue Mountains and 2 hours from Sydney.
It is a character filled two story cottage, best suited to two couples or a couple with one or two children. This welcoming, tastefully decorated cottage provides everything to make a few days escape comfortable and memorable.
Plush comfy beds entice you to take advantage of the escarpment views in the king room and mountain views in the queen room, a relaxing way to begin each day. (Please note the king bed can also be made up as 2 king singles.). Day night roller blinds give you the perfect opportunity to make the most of a lie in, or a well deserved afternoon nap.
The inviting lounge area leads onto three outside sitting areas, all of which take advantage of mountain views and native wildlife.
The front verandah provides the perfect place to take in the mountain view while lounging with a cuppa or a drink, or dining with family and friends.
Sink into comfy chairs in front of an open wood fire on chilly nights on the covered rear verandah or cool off under the ceiling fan while alfresco dining in warmer weather.
Feel at home cooking up a feast in the large well equiped kitchen, while family and friends chat around the intimate rustic dining table.
Children, and big kids, can have a bit of fun with totem tennis, quoits and skittles, along with giant noughts and crosses, giant pick up sticks and hopscotch. For indoor activities, there is a selection of board games and cards.
Being a 2 minute walk from the iconic Megalong tea rooms and 25 minutes drive to Katoomba and all it's sights, the Mill House offers the perfect getaway for those wanting to relax or explore the valley and surrounding areas and towns.

Absolutely loved our stay at “The Mill House” in Megalong Valley. Excellent communication from the host Jill. The property and house are well maintained and very clean. Also beautifully styled with country charm. House has all the creature comforts you could ask for. Perfect for a family of four. Loved the outdoor fire place and we made use of the BBQ. Lots of sitting areas to make use of the views and relax in the sunshine or shade if you prefer. Kids loved the lawn games and exploring the property. Stunning views, easy walk to the cafe at the Megalong Tea House and a great quiet base for a blue mountains weekend away. Would highly recommend and can’t fault anything about our stay.

Wonderful getaway for the family
We've stayed at Mill House several times now and I find it the perfect stay for our family to unwind and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The house is immaculately presented, clean and comfortable for us. We also enjoy playing the games available and especially the outside fireplace which is always a hit with the kids. Jill is a wonderful host and we look forward to staying again in future.

Exceeded Expectations in Every way!!
The Millhouse is in a beautiful, private & peaceful setting, with gorgeous outlooks in every direction from numerous indoor and outdoor living areas. The house and furnishings are supremely comfortable, and the host took exceptional care to think of every detail and was very generous in provisioning the house for us. We loved our few days here!!

What an amazing place! Pictures not do it justice, such a quiet place and lovely surroundings, Jill & Mark are fantastic hosts and the house had everything we needed plus so many extras that other places just dont do. Lots of wildlife to see and outdoor space was amazing with so many areas to sit and a hugh open outdoor fire which we didnt need as lovely weather but a really good extra. Thank you for making this a great part of our Oz trip! Mel & Steve xxx

Peace and comfort
We absolutely loved The Mill House! Such a beautiful spot, pretty scenery, peaceful. We were welcomed with a yummy homemade slice waiting on the kitchen table, a lovely touch. The hosts have thought of everything to make it an enjoyable and comfortable stay, from board games, outdoor games, books, DVDs, a very well equipped kitchen, so many varieties of tea, heating and the outdoor fireplace was a hit, and with it all ready to just light up! We will be back!

Peaceful oasis
We had a fabulous stay at the Mill House. This accommodation has everything you could possibly need for a relaxing stay. A fully equipped kitchen with all that you need, comfortable beds and so many choices of where to sit outside and relax. The outdoor fire was fantastic to relax with a glass of red and listen to music. Jill and Mark were lovely hosts and easy to correspond with. As others have mentioned, the welcome slice was well received as was the bottle of bubbles for my birthday. Such thoughtful touches to make you feel welcome. Thank you for allowing us to stay in the Mill House. We had a great time.

Perfect in every way
Booked as a last minute break, the house and our holiday exceeded all expectations. The place is immaculate, everything has been thought of and you really need to bring nothing apart from your toothbrush, toothpaste and beauty treatments! The pile of hedgehog slices was a lovely welcoming site too!! The photos don't do this place justice. We enjoyed bush walks, trips to the Tea Rooms and plenty of lounging in the many perfect spots around the house. Highly recommended.

The great escape
Such a beautiful, peaceful and comfortable place. The Mill House was perfect for our 2 night visit to the Megalong Valley for a wedding in a nearby vineyard. 2 lovely large bedrooms on the top floor with comfortable beds and great blockout blinds were perfect for a sleep-in. The kitchen had everything we needed and more, we didn't cook much during our visit but it was so well supplied we could have easily. The roomy yet cosy living area was a terrific place to read my book after I had spent a couple of lazy hours doing the same on the verandah while chatting with the local magpies. The outdoor areas are extensive with plenty of tables & chairs. We eyed off the area with a fireplace and made a mental note how pleasant it would be in winter time. The gardens are extensive and very restful to gaze upon as you relax. I hope I can visit again!

Loved it!
The Mill House is such a great place to stay. Everything about it was fantastic and we will be sure to return. From communication with Jill, to having the lights on when we arrived late Friday night, plus freshly baked treats and a lovely letter that greeted us on arrival. What set's it apart is the space of the property and how cosy and comfortable it is. They've recently added a verandah roof, so now there are multiple places to hang out, admire the view, and enjoy the outdoor fire. I think it's also a good balance of being outside Blackheath and therefore having space and serenity, but also not too far down Megalong road so it's still a fairly quick drive from town. Some may complain about no Wifi but phone reception is fine so we had no complaints at all. Just wish we had longer than a weekend.

Megalong Valley Gem
I booked The Mill House for a two night getaway with my partner and two friends and could not recommend this property more highly for a relaxing retreat. The property is absolutely gorgeous and secluded, immaculately kept grounds backing onto stunning bushland with a great mountain view. As a wildlife lover the property had a lot to offer with dozens of different birds, kangaroos and wombats all stopping by during our time there. The Mill House itself also exceeded expectations. It has multiple outdoor seating areas with different outlooks perfect for relaxing with a drink in hand in the evening. The modern kitchen and laundry were incredibly well stocked with anything you could possibly need and the bedrooms and living area were spotlessly clean and comfortable. The location is a convenient short drive to shops and Blackheath and walking distance to the very cute Megalong Valley tearooms. For city slickers looking to fulfill their country cottage fantasy Mill House is the perfect choice
