St Bernards Presbytery, NSW

Set on the hillside overlooking picturesque Hartley village, St Bernards offers beautifully restored accommodation, near the Blue Mountains and an easy drive from Sydney.

Sleeping up to four guests, this sandstone cottage has been carefully renovated with all the comforts of modern living. You can cook up a feast in the fully-equipped kitchen, snuggle up on the Chesterfield lounge by the gas fire, and take a plunge in the spa bath, before a night in your very own four-poster bed.

Surrounded by charming sandstone buildings, cottage gardens, rolling pastures and heritage orchards, it's a great base to explore Hartley's historic village and the western edge of the Blue Mountains.

Art lovers will be in heaven with the nearby Key-Y-Ahn Art Gallery showing works by local Aboriginal artists.
