Not everyone loves a long hike, but every nature lover knows the view is worth it. Evans Lookout, perched high above Grose Valley, is a winner for its jaw-dropping views without the long hike. Loved by locals and a true Blue Mountains gem, it’s an easy outing for most visitors, with an accessible path to the lookout and toilets conveniently located at the top.

Like Evans Lookout, it is an easy walk that suits families. From the car park it is a quick stroll to big Grose Valley views. The lookout is step-free with picnic spots and toilets nearby, making it accessible for all. For a real treat, visit at sunrise when the valley spreads out in panoramic colour.

Ates Blackheath is where good food meets good company. The space is warm and the food is made to share which keeps the night flowing. It is a favourite for couples looking for a relaxed night out and just as perfect for friends sharing stories over plates and wine. Time moves slower here, which makes it even better.

Tucked down Wentworth Street, Bakehouse on Wentworth is a local favourite for pies, crusty loaves, and sweet treats, with plenty of love for the generous fillings and friendly service.
Just a little note, they add a Sunday surcharge, so some discounts (like seniors) may not apply. If this might be a concern for you, we recommend checking with them first on their Instagram page before you go.
