Cooinda Mountain Retreat

Cooinda, meaning “happy place” in Aboriginal language, is a 1930s mountain hideaway in Blackheath. Surrounded by rhododendrons, magnolias, and cool-climate gardens, it blends bright, airy spaces with period charm. Wake to birdsong, stroll to village cafés, and return to unwind by the fire after exploring the iconic Blue Mountains trails.

Only a 2-hour drive from Sydney, Cooinda Mountain Retreat is a beautifully renovated 1930s cottage tucked away in one of Blackheath’s most sought-after streets. Surrounded by cool-climate gardens bursting with rhododendrons, magnolias, and camellias, this tranquil retreat blends historic charm with modern comforts, making it the perfect escape from city life.

Step inside and you’ll find light-filled interiors with polished Baltic pine floors, original cedar doors, and ornate Art Deco details. The bright lounge is an inviting space to unwind, complete with a cozy indoor fireplace for relaxing evenings with a glass of wine or hot chocolate after a day of exploring.

The home features two spacious bedrooms with built-in robes, comfortably sleeping up to 4 guests, with the option to accommodate a fifth (ideal for a child) on the sofa in the living room. The fully renovated bathroom adds a touch of luxury with a clawfoot bath, frameless shower, and marble tiles.

At the heart of the cottage, a bespoke kitchen with premium Smeg appliances and Caesarstone benchtops makes cooking a pleasure, whether you’re preparing a relaxed breakfast before hitting the trails or a hearty dinner to share around the table.

Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a family trip, or a weekend escape with friends, Cooinda Mountain Retreat is a true “happy place” - the perfect base for experiencing everything the Blue Mountains has to offer.
