Totally relaxing

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.

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.

Beautiful View & Very Homely

We arrived tired and cold after a long journey. Cecils Chair welcomed us with the outside light on and the lovely warmth of central heating. Mum was relieved that there was some milk in the fridge for a much needed cuppa. The views immediately impressed us and although we had rain for most of the time and clouds periodically obstructed our views of the valley, the lovely gum trees close by were just as beautiful to look at. My dad was impressed that there were bonoculars for him to use. The bedrooms were spacious and our beds were very comfortable. All the furnishings were lovely. The kitchen had everything one would need and the dining table was large enough for a comfortable meal for a family.We loved the two separate areas for sitting in - the comfortable back loungeroom with a modern tv and the front room with the fire. We used the fire every night and appreciated that there was wood stacked on the front patio for easy access. There is also ample space to sit and look out the windows at those spectacular views. The two bathrooms were well equiped. My elderly parents had the ensuite bathroom for easy access during the night. We used the spa bath room which had a double shower with views. Access to the front door was a bit tricky for my parents with mobility issues but that could be easily adjusted by owners if they choose. Would we stay again? Most definately!

A great long weekend with family

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!

Cozy home

Nice cozy place at the corner of the street overlooking the valley. Only issue for me was, the steep credit card surcharge to make the balance payment through the real estate agent’s website. I would have preferred to pay the balance amount using the stayz website which was not possible.

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.

Wow!

I love it when you get to your destination and the property exceeds your expectations. We just loved this cottage, with its stunning views from the living areas and the bathroom, and the three big bedrooms. The kitchen is well-equipped and there is a separate living area if you MUST watch tv. We just watched the views, endlessly, and started reading some of the books - a great library so you don't need to bring anything. But you will need plenty of time to finish them! It is a property full of character which suits its location and is just such a relaxing, peaceful place. Thank you for sharing.
