The Long Alley Barn

A converted barn on a Hartley Vale property west of Lithgow, with 360-degree valley views to cliffs on the western edge of the Blue Mountains. Restored by the owner with master craftsman Rene Jol from a dirt-floored rickety loft. Sleeps a couple or small group; outdoor bath, hammock, fire pit, full kitchen, open fire inside. The 2019 Gosper Mountain bushfires took the property's kitchen garden — Rene Jol then built a small Garden Studio on the same footprint, which now hosts elopements and microweddings as a separate product. Comet Inn from 1879 nearby. Lithgow station 25 minutes by car.
