A beautiful heritage property Quiet peaceful, well maintained rooms with everything you need, We only had a short stay, but we were comfortable and happy Continental breakfast adequate …jams from the area would have been a nice touch, cooked breakfast extra but was generous. So much beautiful art was lost as it covered every surface, Fewer works would have been just as interesting. Just so much to absorb and overwhelming. Parking easy. Plenty of places to eat, Thank you Davids for your beautiful home We had a great stay.

This is a hidden gem. We were keen to find somewhere to stay for 1 night for 2 adults and 2 children without all being in the same room so we didn't all have to go to bed at 8pm. This was a truly magnificent find, there is a truly enormous collection of artwork, the two adjoining rooms with ensuite were clean, spacious, well equipped and comfortable. There are some lovely touches especially the cosy bathrobes and drawing paper at breakfast. For a family stopover in the Blue Mountains I don't think we would stay anywhere else! Thanks to both Davids for being so hospitable.

Not worth the money you spent. For watching the tennis finals you got to go to the common room. You are to mind if your watching it to bother others
Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2022
Response from David Scotman on 31 Jan 2022
Hello Thayyil, I am sorry to hear you were disappointed. First about our pricing, we are very competitive when compared to similar venues throughout the Upper Mountains and usually it is only motels that are lower priced. We do try to keep prices as low as possible and have not raised them for quite some time. With regard to the TV situation, we do everything we can to let guests know we do not have TVs in the rooms and usually only receive bookings from people happy with this setup. We do not plan to ever install TVs in the rooms. I wish you had let me know of your disappointment during your stay rather than telling me how much you enjoyed everything as you were checking out.

Beautiful art collection, well equipped family room perfect for our family. David was an excellent host, very attentive and kind. We enjoyed sitting by the open fire, chatting with other guests, enjoying a red wine and perusing the amazing artworks. Very refreshing and the perfect mini break in the mountains. We will be back again soon.

The Chalet never fails to impress. Have been coming here for years, and this visit was no different. David is an exceptional host and made our stay a really wonderful experience. The room was great, and the dining experience was fantastic. The kitchen wasn't open, due to covid restrictions only just being eased, but David was more than willing to cook us breakfast each morning, which was excellent. Overall a wonderful experience for our honeymoon!

for those wanting to step back in time it's charming and character filled with period furniture and a blazing log fire in the dining room. A lovely experience the only negative is that they no longer serve an evening meal (although the owners will helpfully lay a table for you if you want to provide your own food - we bought some cheeses and a bottle of wine and the owners even supplied us with some olives free of charge). but dinner offered would be better because who wants to go out for dinner on a freezing mountain night

Just spent a relaxing 3 night break at The Challet. Had the largest room in the place that was very cosy & nicely adorned with art works (as is the entire place). No TV’s in the rooms, but has a cozy TV sitting room if the need to view arises, with plenty of books & games to keep people amused. Hosts were very welcoming people & happy to chat. Lovely dining area used for breakfast only at present & general lounging around. In the evening you can sit in front of a (real) open fireplace & sip a few wines, to the soft sounds of some easy jazz. Very relaxing! Not available for dinner at present unfortunately, as there’s no chief available on staff. Great local bushwalking areas to explore, for all skill & fitness levels. Would also highly recommend the Hydro Majestic’s historical tour, or just visit for a look see, a coffee or a high tea with spectacular views to the valley. Some nice restaurants 4kms west at Blackheath, if you didn’t want to tackle Katoomba’s busy Main Street. Would definitely look a return stay if back in the area again.

The place is not just like a home, it is a gorgeous painting museum upon the blue mountain. Imagining how Wonderful! We had a warm staying over there plus numerous arts waiting for into our eyes, and two handsome David of the bosses being such friendly and lovely to us, just like the mountain welcoming people no matter of where you are from. Sitting by the fireplace whilst listening the classical music at the hall room was enjoyable, and the cosy room is well decor with paintings, art pieces, off course the green view by looking through the big window. Last thing has to be mentioned, they are managing the rules very well during this covid period, such as cleaning the room properly, dealing with food carefully with social distance. Next time when we visit mountain we shall live here again. Best wishes to dear David and David!

David is a very nice host. The location is good, close to the main road but very quiet. Our room was pretty small but cosy. Breakfast is good (I wouldn't call it continental though, since the savoury dishes comes as extras). David is very organized to comply with social distancing and COVID measures during breakfast.

Hello, We definitely have eggs on offer. They are not put out for self-serve due to health and safety reasons. Perhaps the information was missing from your room so I will check on this and make sure each room has information about what extras are available for breakfast. Generally we get great feedback on what is on offer as many don't like a big breakfast. It was from past feedback that we decided to make cooked food a separate option to prevent throwing out lots of uneaten food. Thank you for your feedback as I will see what I can do to make the information more clear. Regards
