Weekends Away

Only 3 hours from Sydney, get away with a country weekend away at our Sofala Accommodation.

You can be as active or lazy as you wish on a weekend at Chesleigh. There is a horse, a gold pan, a fireside or comfy chair with your name on it. The food is fabulous, the atmosphere easy and un-hurried and the effect restorative and revitalizing.

Our expert team will guide you through the activities or point out the directions to the lookouts, or through our property should you wish to walk, climb, or go mountain biking and enjoy some time with your partner, your own family or by yourself.

Our homestead has comfortable and cosy accommodation to suit every holiday or event. Rooms are either suited to couples, twin or families.

Built by hand over the past 45 years, Chesleigh offers the genuine, rustic country experience with all the comforts of home with a variety of accommodation options catering for family holidays, romantic getaways, corporate team building events, group celebrations, summer riding camps, weddings and everything in between. We are famous world wide for our wonderful horse riding trails and delicious, hearty, home cooked meals. Many folk book into Chesleigh just because of its good food. Our experienced kitchen cooks everything from scratch and offers a delicious fully catered eating experience during your stay.

Nestled between rolling hills and trickling creeks, we’re also the only venue in Sofala where you will be taught to pan for gold and then have miles of gold bearing creeks on the property to perfect your skill and try your luck!

For the more active we have plenty of games and sports on offer with tennis courts, swimming pool, billiards table and fully fitted games room. With a range of bush walking and running trails where you can also put your fitness to the test in and amongst the rugged beauty of the mountainous property. Those seeking a more relaxing escape may choose to stay put in the heated spa with a glass of wine (or mug of tea) taking in the enormous skies and dazzling sunsets. Our bustling bonfire is the heart of our homestead and has heard many a song and tale over the years. And it’s definitely toasted a few marshmallows!If you can’t quite find what you’re looking for please don’t hesitate to get in touch and we will happily tailor one to meet your needs.
