A car is really handy though a bus and train can take you to Katoomba. Nearest station to Little Pightle is Blackheath, about 3 km from the house.

Though we were very familiar with the Blue Mountains through bushwalking, we were attracted to the unique stunning scenery, peace and tranquility, all within 1 1/2 hrs drive from Sydney CBD on good motorways. We were lucky to find such a unique property with a house that was being lovingly restored from a simple single storey weatherboard to its unique configuration by a passionate French builder, we just keep the passion going!
