A perfect mountain escape!We had a wonderful stay at Cecil’s Chair. The cottage is cosy, beautifully styled, and thoughtfully appointed with everything you need for a relaxing getaway. The views are stunning - especially at sunset - and the peaceful surroundings make it easy to unwind. A perfect base for exploring Blackheath and the Blue Mountains.
We had one complaint....we didn't book to stay long enough! The house and grounds exceeded expectations. Thank you to the owners for the meticulous care taken with the property. The art work is sensational and the fixtures make the property both comfortable and aesthetically pleasing - something we're not usually fussed with but really made a difference. All the essentials were wonderful - heating, comfy beds, clean, well appointed. A true getaway with no need to think about bringing anything.
For a holiday house it litterally ticks all of the boxes for a family long weekend in the Blue Mountains. The views were exactly as pictured with the most amazing sunsets, the kitchen was well equipped, the bluetooth speaker was way better than expected, the list goes on. We completed two bush walks from the house. Highly recommended!
We loved our stay at Cecil's chair. From the moment you turn the key & step into panoramic views of the valley, everything about this home has been thoughtfully considered & we all can't wait to come back & stay longer. Comfortable spacious bedrooms, multiple living spaces & well equipped kitchen, peace & tranquility-what more could we want!
Cecil’s Chair was a delightful place to stay with a truly wonderful view and everything we needed for our stay. The gardens are also beautiful.
We will be back for sure.
Great place for us to catchup with our daughter currently working in Sydney. Relaxed and peaceful and very handy to everywhere we wanted to visit. Thank you.
This is our third time staying here and we love it! Breathtaking views, the property is always immaculately clean and very comfy beds. Can’t fault anything! We will be back.
We stayed 3 nights with family visiting from the UK aged 30 - 94 and all were so impressed with the house, facilities and especially the view and new landscaping. We were blessed with clear night skies and sunny days
Stunning views, warm and cosy but still plenty of space, comfortable beds, well equipped, perfect location for catchup with friends. Oh and interesting artwork! Totally understand why guests keep returning, highly recommend.
Our family has been coming to Cecil's Chair for several years now and it never fails to disappoint. The location is to die for, the house is kept in an immaculate state and communication with owner easy to follow. Highly recommended!
Beautiful cottage in perfect surroundings. The view is unbelievable, I can't imagine finding better in the Blue Mountains. The Reidl family are amazing hosts, nothing is too much trouble for them. The cottage is thoughtfully appointed with everything you could ask for in hand. The spa bath overlooking the Megalong Valley is a once in a lifetime experience. Simply magical.
The views from the living room and bathroom were spectacular! The artwork was interesting and eclectic. Comfy beds. The kitchen was stocked with nearly every cooking utensil you could need. Lots of books and puzzles. Would highly recommend.
Our second visit to Cecil's Chair. It always feels so special when you walk through the door and see the view into the valley. The bathroom also has an amazing view. Fabulous books to browse as you sit in the comfy chairs and watch the ever changing view. We will be back.
