We are also Pet Friendly. If you want to bring your pet on holidays with you, we charge a Pet Fee.

Our Cottage is a flat 3 minute walk to the heart of Old Bowral with its restaurants, cafés and boutiques, gorgeous parks, museums, galleries, vineyards and golf courses.

A must stay when visiting the Southern Highlands.

We visited Bowral to attend a family wedding, this cottage was so well presented. The history of the cottage has been well preserved and it is styled impeccably. The beds are luxurious. The location is perfect, everything is in walking distance but is far enough away that you don't hear the town. If you are visiting the Southern Highlands, this stay is a must.

Luxury Bowral Stay

I could tell from the moment we walked into The Hidden Door Cottage, Bowral that this was a very special place. The Cottage was just beautiful, the ultra modern air conditioner was on and we felt so welcomed and comfortable. Our Hosts Jo & Greg have created a luxury retreat in Bowral which is only minutes away from the main street. We loved our Bowral stay and most important, we'll be back.

My friends and I had a very relaxing time in this gorgeous cottage. We loved sitting by the fire, enjoyed the peace and quiet and loved the decor. The house was very clean, the beds were really comfortable and the linen was lovely. I highly recommend this for a girls weekend getaway and would come back next time I’m in Bowral.

We stayed 3 nights in the week before Christmas. We arrived on a hot day to air conditioned comfort, gorgeous decorations, and everything we could possibly need. Our poodle was welcome and that made it perfection for us. Absolutely loved the sumptuous linens, soft bds, extra throws and divine pillows to snuggle in.

Cosy cottage

My dad and I had a lovely few nights in The Cottage with my 10 month old daughter. The owners provided a cot and high chair which was brilliant. The fireplace was easy and cosy, a lifesaver in Bowral in the thick of winter. The location is amazing, an easy short stroll to the main street and ample street parking right out the front of the property. Everything was clean and the electric blankets on the bed were a nice treat. We’d love to come back again.
