Great short stay!

The cottage was perfect for our weekend away in Bowral to celebrate a friend's party. Very well presented and some nice touches like the local chocolates that were provided.

Oh, Chris. We're so glad you enjoyed your time with us—and the amazing chocolates from Ms Peacock at The Mill (she delivers nationally, by the way!) We'd love to have you stay with us again down the track.

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.

Absolutely loved everything about this gorgeous cottage.

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. Thank you for sharing your beautiful little cottage
