About Applegarth Cottage

Applegarth Cottage is ideal  as a base to explore Jenolan Caves, Lake Lyell, the Blue Mountains, quaint country towns such as Rydal, Hartley and Tarana and all that Oberon, Bathurst and Lithgow have to offer.

Located in Hampton, a rural village halfway between Oberon  and Mount Victoria on the western edge of the Blue Mountains, Applegarth is a welcoming home surrounded by picturesque fields, native and farm animals and babbling brooks. 

The north facing timber verandah will allow you to while away the hours and enjoy the expansive views over the nearby fields and mountains. Alternatively, have breakfast or drinks on the rear deck and just enjoy the sunshine and wide open skies.

Applegarth offers you the opportunity to relax and unwind, enjoy nature and connect fully with your friends and family. 

The cottage includes a fully equipped country kitchen, a cosy indoor wood fireplace, air conditioning for the summer, an outdoor chiminea for the colder months and a tranquil brook flowing through the bottom of the garden.  

We have made sure that the cottage has everything you need for a relaxing stay: cutlery, crockery, cooking utensils,  lots of pots and pans, serving platters, wine glasses (including champagne flutes), cheese boards and cheese knives, a 42 inch smart TV, a quality sound system (Bluetooth and digital/FM radio), bedding (pillows, sheets, electric blankets and quilts), throws for snuggling on the lounge, books, games and DVDs, towels, tea towels, a gas BBQ, a picnic basket and firewood. 

We supply you with firewood, kindling and firestarters for your stay. There is a washing machine, clothes dryer, iron, ironing board and hair dryer available for your convenience.
