The views were stunning and the chalet was gorgeous. The room service breakfast was a treat

When we arrived there were lots of groups doing taste testing on the property so reception level car park was full. To get to reception from lower car park was a mission. We also had a couple walk into our chalet whilst hubby and I were on the balcony because they were told they could view the rooms for potential future bookings. I guess in hindsight we should’ve locked the front door but we weren’t expecting strangers to just walk in.

Travelling with a large group of friends or family your place to be is Peppercorn Ridge @ Loxley on Bellbird Hill. This villa of 9 bedrooms incl ensuites, large livingroom, patios and laundry-facilities locates in beautiful surroundings close to the Blue Mountains National park. As off-season travellers we especially enjoyed central heating. Personnel was ready to adapt to our needs on short notice.

Continental breakfast did not meet European standards (including only cereals, milk and orange-juice). There is a variety of cottages and villas at Loxley, also the level of apartments vary - choose wisely.

The little imperfections as the property ages adds to the charm of a non sterile, cosy and comfortable stay. The A-frame style suites with amazing views looking back towards civilisation gives it such a home type feel while reminding you that you are on a break from the chaos off in the distance. The fireplace in the rooms gives magical ambience and warmth as you watch the distant glistening of that place you left behind for a while.

Railing on the balcony could use a touch of repair. Other than that, I can’t fault the place.

We loved the view from our chalet. It was exceptional to watch the sunrise from the balcony! We loved the fire and the instructions on how to use it were very straight forward. The chalet was very cosy and comfortable and perfect for a night away! Also loved that amenities for breakfast/tea and coffee were provided- Thankyou so much!

Smaller pieces of firewood for the fire- even though we managed to eventually get the fire going, it was difficult with the big logs we had left in the chalet.

We loved the view. It was quiet. It was spacious yet cosy inside. The room was filled with lots of natural light. We liked sitting on the veranda in the morning eating our breakfast which was included in the price. We enjoyed the spa bath. Hubby got the fire started, I put out the nibblies and wine and we were set for the night :)

There was no where to eat dinner on the premises. We didn't mind going out to get takeaway but I just felt like it would have been nice if there was a dining option.

We arrived past check in time but they left instructions for how to find the room. The loft bedroom and cathedral ceiling are really special and everything was clean and comfortable. Very cosy too in the cold mountains. The complimentary breakfast, although not technically continental, had coffee and cereal and was adorable and a really lovely touch.

There was no info pack in the room so we were unsure of the wifi or what the checkout procedure was?

I liked everything about the property and the stay - it provides a perfect city escape. The staff were lovely and so helpful and chatty and it was very clean, breakfast was phenomenal and delightful.

Would be good if the bar and kitchen were open for guests! We would have gone to dinner and the bar there if this was the case but we understand as a wedding facility it’s not able to be done!

The food was amazing, the service was exceptional, and the location was magical

The only criticism was the grout in the bathroom was a bit dirty.in the shower and spa area. A bit of CLR would solve it and then it would be a 10. The Chalet was very romantic.

scenic view , breakfast, and specious chalet

Some dead flies, spider nets,and the office were closed in the morning when I wanted to check out, so I had to leave the key in the chalet's door

The breakfast menu was varied and satisfied our taste buds extremely well. The staff were courteous, friendly and most obliging. Additionally, as the purpose of our stay was to attend a wedding, the wedding menu was, in our opinion, of 5-star rating. Loved our chalet, the location affording wonderful views.

Blue sky and sunshine would have been nice, as the drizzle sent some of us undercover, however, God's tears of joy showered down on the bride and groom adding to the ambiance of the moment.
