Nothing says country like opening your door to green paddocks and fresh air! Shepherd's Lea really does offer the best of town and country stays - it is set in one of Old Bowral's premier streets, opposite picturesque fields in which you will often see grazing cows. The street is a quiet cul-de-sac so we ask you to respect the neighbours and enjoy the peace and quiet yourselves.

The house itself is architect -designed and has been purpose styled and furnished for the holiday market with style and comfort in mind. It is filled with soft light, lots of luxury inclusions including quality linen and towels, is decorated in a soft pastel palette and best of all, there is space for everyone. The oversized formal living area has an equally large TV, a cosy gas fireplace and gorgeous picture windows, with vistas to country paddocks. Imagine yourself curled up on the sofa with a glass of red, chatting to friends in this relaxing environment. For family get-togethers, there is a large open plan kitchen-dining-living area that flows seamlessly to a sunbathed BBQ courtyard and another separate sunny deck.

The double garage with internal access and the separate cottage both provide great break-out areas. Table tennis and games are offered in the nicely set up garage area - effectively creating a third large living area/rumpus. The cottage has a separate queen bedroom and a double sofa bed in the living room with 4th TV and underfloor heating. The cute split barn doors are a throwback to its original life as the stables. It has a good well set up kitchenette so its occupants can choose to be self-sufficient or join the rest of the guests in the main house.

Shepherd's Lea is sensationally located on the outskirts of the original old Bowral town, so is walking distance or a very short drive to galleries, Bradman Oval, Museum and the International Cricket Hall of Fame, Corbett Gardens, boutique shopping, cafes and restaurants. It is also a short drive to the Bowral Golf Club and the Bowral Country club and wedding venues along Centennial Drive, including Centennial Vineyards and Gibraltar Resort.
