What a surprisingly tranquil stay! Just the sound of the birds, a lone wind chime, and the smell of the roses wafting through the garden. Super comfy bed, everything we could need was there, just the break from reality we needed.

Why they chose this property

After living in cities for most of our lives, we saw our retirement as an opportunity to escape to the country and enjoy a more relaxed lifestyle. Bowral was an easy choice as the town has first class health services, all major supermarkets , a good selection of retail outlets and many excellent restaurants. It 's only a 2 hour train ride to the city of Sydney and a short drive to the South Coast. What's more it's one of the most beautiful parts of NSW with lots to see and do, plus the "locals" are friendly and welcoming.
