A year on ten of us reunited here for a weekend. David is a great host. This grand old home combines the charm of yesteryear with modern conveniences. It is secluded, yet handy to everthing and the food is good. We all love it so much and have booked for next year. There is a lot of space in the... More

We arrived at the Chalet on the 23 rd of April, 2012, on a freezing afternoon. We were amazed at the beautiful old house decorated by an art collection. It was lovely to sit by the roaring fire while watching the birds feed outside. We even saw a possum come to feed one evening. Great Breakfast. All in all ,... More

A nice little B&B. Cosy and Comfortable. Main common entry to the house but our room had it's own key and ensuite so it was welcoming and yet private which we liked. Continental breakfast was included - cereal and toast provided.

A house in the suburb between Blackheath and Katoomba. The room was extremely clean and well-kept, not to mention very cosy. Do not be fooled by its B&B label - the room provided everything a 5-star hotel would (save the TV). Breakfast was simple but sufficient (and healthful). A small reading room (with a TV) proves a lovely place for... More

Thanks to David and David for making our easter stay so perfect! The Chalet is a delightful and elegantly decorated Guesthouse and every detail was thought of. The generous continental breakfast made a great start to each day of trail walking and the gourmet (and again generous) dinner menu was the perfect end to each day! Fabulous, we'll be back... More

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
