We loved every minute in this cozy cottage. The host thought of everything possible we never had to request for anything during our stay. Tons of blanket, warm heaters, board games, kitchen equipment. We felt lucky to stumbled upon this property last minute; this make our southern highland trip even more special and will come back again soon.

We had the most wonderful stay at The Cottage! From the moment we arrived, everything was absolutely perfect. The property was spotless - beautifully clean, fresh, and so well cared for. It instantly felt welcoming and relaxing.Amelia was incredibly generous and thoughtful, kindly offering us early check-in, late checkout, and even an extra night at no charge. That level of hospitality is so rare and made our stay feel extra special.There were also such lovely personal touches, including treats waiting for us in the fridge - such a thoughtful surprise that really made us smile.The location was clean, convenient, and made getting around so easy.We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend The Cottage to anyone looking for a comfortable, welcoming, and stress-free getaway. We can’t wait to return!

A great place to stay. We would highly recommend booking this home. The location was quiet and private, close to Bowral, Berrima and Mittagong. The property itself was fantastic. Exceptionally clean, comfortable beds, and the kitchen and bathrooms had everything needed. The historic home was very well kept, stylishly decorated, and the yard breathtaking. The host, Amelia, was very attentive and thoughtful. We felt welcomed and relaxed the moment we walked in. Everything about this stay was easy and smooth. Exactly what we had hoped for in organising a relaxing weekend away
