This grand Victorian guest house is indicative of the villages’ charm. The small but cosy rooms evoke a nostalgic feel, which plays a central role in your weekend away. A dinner and breakfast package will introduce you to Chisholm’s restaurant set in a grand dining room where an a la carte menu and full buffet breakfast awaits. Stock up as caving can burn plenty of fuel. For a more private and roomier stay enquire into Jenolan’s self-contained cottages which are surrounded by impressive flora and fauna.
Getting there: There is no public transport to Jenolan Caves so, with the exception of a coach tour, driving is your best option. While the road takes you through the picturesque Blue Mountains, a Tom Tom suction cupped to your dash board will get you there in two and a half hours without arguments or threats of divorce. If there is just one-day trip or weekender you do before Christmas, make it out to Jenolan where discovery and beauty await singles, couples or the 2.5 kid crew.
