Rolling Hills & Trickling Creeks
We are famous for our wonderful horse riding trails and delicious, hearty, home cooked meals. Nestled between rolling hills and trickling creeks, we’re the only venue in Sofala where you will be taught to pan for gold and then have miles of creeks to perfect your skill.

Halfway House Chesleigh: Your Bush Hideaway in Sofala Goldfields
A new and exciting addition to the Chesleigh offerings and the Sofala accommodation options.
Your stay begins on Friday where we will escort you to your cabin either in your own car or by us or on horse back (by appointment)! The cabin is tucked away 3km at the heart of our property and is enshrouded by the stunning, rugged bush, mountains and only a short stroll down to the gold bearing creek. Your weekend will slowly glide by as you sit, do nothing, read and snooze or perhaps pan for gold, climb the surrounding mountains, bush walk along the creek beds and night sky watch through the telescope.
All meals will be provided with some bush cooking instructions for you.
