About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

'Highgate' - As featured on the Cover of Highlife Magazine. World Class Highlands living.

As you open the front door of Highgate, you are greeted by stunning grand ceilings, a beautiful period fireplace and an extensively renovated living, dining and fully equipped chef’s kitchen.

There are two separate office spaces and great Wi-Fi, so why not come for a few extra days and work in a relaxed environment, skipping the weekend traffic?

There’s also a Media room, kids play area and tree top mezzanine to keep the kids (little and big!) fully entertained during your stay.

The house has heating and a beautiful log burner for the cooler months. Come and watch the beautiful colours of nature change and snuggle up by the fire with a feast of local delicacies and wine.

There are events all year round in Bowral and surrounds, so come and enjoy this luxurious retreat and experience why so many people have opted for the tree change in the Southern Highlands.

Great stay

The family had a great stay at Highgate. The place was warm and cosy with great bathrooms. There was even a big screen for dad to keep up with sports and the kids to watch their streaming services. A home away from home.

Gorgeous house

We had a lovely stay at this beautifully designed property. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was fully equipped. Lots of nooks to read a book and it had a huge television. It was super quiet and absolutely lovely to be surrounded by so many trees. We were asked to bring our own firewood which was fine, but would have been nice to have it supplied given the property was quite expensive. Also a minor comment that the outside needed some maintenance and cleaning. I imagine it must be hard to keep up a property of that size and the skylights and windows would be difficult to clean, so it’s not really a criticism, more something to note for when the weather gets warmer so other guests can enjoy the outside areas.
