If you like art and quality accommodation, this is the place to stay. The room was beautifully decorated with paintings, pottery, sculpture and glassware from the owners' private collection. Importantly, the place had a touch of class whilst retaining a welcoming warmth. Watch the parrots feed outside the window while having breakfast and chat to the hosts over a quality... More

We stayed in Chalet for three nights and really enjoyed the atmosphere and hospitality. Net curtains on the window, the smell of old books and the rain knocking on the roof brought nostalgic memories of childhood, the warmth and heartiness of granny's house in the countryside but with the amenities of the 21st century.Each morning we had the pleasure of...

For this art-lover, it was a fabulous week filled with so many wonderful memories! Upon arrival, my hosts were attentive and charming, welcoming me into the superbly decorated guesthouse, which was built in 1897. On a cold, rainy week, the warm fire burning in the beautiful dining room was so inviting. The vast and impressive art collection throughout the guesthouse... More

What an amazing week ! Spoilt with amazing food to keep our artist juices flowing the end of 5 day course left us tired but very happy. As a relative beginner drawing still comes hard to me but I felt I had really achieved something by the end of the week, as had everyone there. It was an amazing feeling... More

Hi Jay. Thank you for the great review. It is great to get feedback on the art classes since we will be continuing to schedule these each year. It is also nice to finally open the studio up to clients. David Middlebrook lives for art, with a passion for his own practice, his students at the University of Newcastle, and... More

My wife visited the Chalet for our first anniversary and recently went back for our sixth, though this time heavily pregnant. The Chalet is famous for its food and the Davids are great hosts. The artwork and late 1800s/early 1900s decor make for an ideal retreat for couple seeking peace and quiet. Not really sure if I'd want to go... More

Our room was so pretty and perfect from the pink plushy carpet right down to the embroidered throw pillows. David was so helpful in directing us to destinations.

My husband and I travelled to the Blue Mountains from Sydney for the weekend to catch up with some interstate friends. Our friends had booked this accommodation first so we decided to stay at the same place. We were wonderfully surprised at the quality of the accommodation - the rooms were beautifully appointed, and the owners were fabulously friendly and... More

We arrived late on a foggy night, and no welcome could have been warmer than the crackling fire and smile David had for us. There were four of us, and we opted for the family room, at the end of a hallway. The room was comfortably furnished, with central heating, blankets and extra duvets. The bathroom was original and superbly... More

This is an excellent value stay in a charming guesthouse away from the bustle of Katoomba and Leura. Accommodation is cute, tidy and very clean (we stayed in the cheapest room). The common areas are very cosy with a large lounge/dining room and a separate TV room. The only complaint really would be that the fire wasn't kept up in... More
