The overall cleanliness of the property would have been better. The coffee machine had not been cleaned before we arrived so the pod catch was full with stale coffee water growing mould.The oven and the oven racks were covered in grime and overall really dirty. There was also random dirty glasses / shot glasses left in odd spots. Obviously this has been overlooked by the cleaners.Apart from these things it was a great stay. It was easy to check into and easy to find off the main road. It has a great set up for the extended family or for a girls retreat away!

Beautiful period furnishings and touches. Lovely gas heater and central heating. Noisy road and railway. Disappointed the extra shower and toilet were outside, under cover way but very cold going out at night. Saucepans/frypans were falling apart and scratched. No gas stove lighter or matches. Can't read which gas jet belongs to which control. Instruction manual for appliances unhelpful. Not enough medium or tall glasses. Fridge crisper very hard to open. Upstairs queen beds noisy to sleep on. Lots of good things - various eating areas and lounge areas. Lots of light through many windows. We did have a good extended family time despite the weather and a blackout!

Bowral 2night stay
At first impression it had a cozy feel and a great backyard for dogs and family to enjoy. Location is great, in walking distance to Bowral’s centre although across the road from train line which might bother some people. Decor is a little tired, beds squeak lounges are uncomfortable, plates and glasses not matching, no bathroom upstairs. For 2 nights at premium price we felt a little let down giving it was a 80th birthday gift.

Big house.
The house is big and sleeps lot which suited us, so it’s good if you just need somewhere to sleep. I’ve never in 30 years stated anywhere that check in is 4:00pm and check out is 10am, and requests for an earlier check in were ignored. But luckily I received texts to ensure we kept quiet as soon as we arrived and a reminder the day before to check out by 10am. And then an email the day before to say we could extend our stay. It’s on a busy road, the kitchen crockery is awful and the garden wasn’t dog proof.

Family get together
The house had good space for our group of 10 with plenty of room for dinner around the main table. The town centre is a 10 min walk and the property has good heating - yes we needed the heater in December! However, the train line is across the road and I did not realise how many trains run through Bowral all night! The road is the main road into Bowral but it does get quieter at night. In saying that, we all enjoyed our stay and were quite comfortable and the kitchen living and back garden are delightful.

Great location, large, cute house
Walking distance to town, large house to accomodate a big group, great backyard to enjoy outdoor living, beautiful bath tub, lots of indoor living space, central heating/fireplace is also great.
Only concern was traffic/Train noise and we were charged a merchant fee by stayz when you pay with a debit card which we had not factored into the cost when splitting it up.
Otherwise we had a lovely stay
