Inspired by the 18th‑century work of architect Jacques‑François Blondel, the home blends classical European design with modern comfort, just five minutes from Bowral and Berrima. Over 1,000sqm of light‑filled interiors provide an exceptional backdrop for memorable moments. Soaring ceilings, oversized rooms, imported chandeliers, granite and marble floors create a sense of arrival, while formal living and dining spaces with combustion fireplaces invite both celebration and calm. The French‑inspired chef’s kitchen is ideal for hosting and preparation, featuring a double oven, walk‑in pantry, side‑by‑side fridge, wine fridge and generous island bench. Four oversized bedrooms, including a stunning bridal suite, luxurious bathrooms, geothermal heating and a baby grand piano complete this elegant yet welcoming home.

Privately set behind impressive 300-year-old iron carriage gates and a tree‑lined driveway, the 14 acre estate unfolds into rolling lawns, rose gardens, gated paddocks and vineyard views—perfect for pre‑wedding preparations, family events, relaxed entertaining and memorable photographs. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a covered alfresco dining area overlooking rural vistas, expansive lawns for garden games, and a freestanding pool pavilion with heated saltwater pool. Guests are invited to wander the grounds, enjoy peaceful surroundings with farm animals grazing in adjoining paddocks, and soak up the sense of seclusion that makes Chateau Bowral truly special.

Perfectly positioned for attending weddings at local venues, concerts and regional events, Chateau Bowral offers a peaceful base just moments from Centennial Vineyards and Day on the Green performances. Spend your days exploring the villages of the Highlands, enjoying a round of golf at Bowral or Gibraltar Golf Courses, visiting renowned wineries including Bendooley Estate and Artemis Wines, or dining at local favourites such as Harry’s on Green, Bistro Sociale and Links House in Burradoo.

Property is fully fenced. Please note this is farm fencing and there are livestock in the paddocks. Please do not go into the gated areas around the property or feed the animals.

Notes
Privacy: This property is a holiday rental, it is not a principal place of residence and there are no shared rooms. Enjoy your time in comfort and privacy.

Terms and Conditions: Detailed T&Cs apply for this property and payment warrants your agreement and that of all other guests staying at the property with you. Please share the T&Cs with your other guests.

Check-in and -out Times: During the busy months of December and January, the check-in time is 4 pm to facilitate peak back-to-back changeovers. Our standard check-in time is 3 pm and check-out time is 10 am. We offer a complimentary early check-in or late check-out time as a gesture of goodwill where booking and housekeeping schedules allow. Note that due to demand and housekeeping pressures, no early check-ins or late check-outs will be granted during the months of December and January. The safest way to secure an early check-in or later check-out is to book the property for an extra night. Contact us for a special rate for this extra night. All Sunday late check outs must be requested and approved prior to 5 pm on the Friday evening prior. All complimentary early check-ins or late check-outs must be confirmed in writing so that our housekeeping team are informed accordingly.

Guest Registration: Guest registration is mandatory for all bookings and replaces the need for a cash bond for short term bookings (up to 20 nights). It is essential for fraud prevention, damage claims, safety, and emergency purposes. The process varies depending on the online travel agent used. Direct bookings require the booker to upload a copy of their driver’s licence and credit card through our encrypted online process.

Additional Guests: The guest limits apply at all times during the booking. Any extra guests (this includes day visitors) above those that have been booked and paid for must be approved in writing prior to the stay. Only the guests staying at the property are permitted to be present. If you wish to have visitors in addition to booked guests, you must advise us in writing prior to your stay and ensure you receive written permission. This is not possible at all properties.

Schoolies: To ensure the comfort of our guests and the neighbours, we do not accept bookings for “Schoolies” breaks/groups and under no circumstances do we allow weddings or parties of any sort.

No Extras: This property is approved for accommodation only. No mattresses, tents, caravans or more cars than the property accommodates are allowed. Under no circumstances are the following activities permitted at any of our properties: motorbikes, dirt bikes, quad bikes, use of firearms or air rifles, fireworks.

EV Charging: For safety reasons and to comply with insurance requirements, guests are prohibited from charging electric vehicles at any property that does not have a dedicated EV charging station. Charging electric vehicles without proper infrastructure poses a fire hazard, and in the unfortunate event of an incident, insurance cover may be compromised, and the guest held liable. If in doubt, ask our team for the closest EV charging station.

Long Stay Discounts: Out of peak season stays of a week or more may qualify for a discount, please send us a message.

Property Information: Information during your stay can be found in the Guest Information Folder or by calling our office 24/7.

Security Deposit: For most bookings, completion of our registration process and a valid credit card with a $1000 available limit is sufficient for the security deposit.

For medium-term bookings (21-40 nights) and long-term bookings (41-90 nights), a non-negotiable cash security deposit is required. This deposit is refunded after the departure inspection, with any damage or loss deducted. The minimum cash deposit is $2000, with higher amounts for larger or more expensive properties, or at the owner’s/manager’s discretion.

Peace of Mind: For your added security we will never request payments be made to an overseas bank account and your money is held by us and not disbursed until after your departure.

List with Us: If we had more properties in our management portfolio, we could easily get them booked. Demand is high and supply just can’t keep up. Send us a message or call us if you would like to know more about the packages we offer for short term rental management.
