About this property
The Highland House
This stunning Highland home is a beautiful combination of stone, glass and timber.
We are one of the few Southern Highlands homes with a pool.
The Highlands House uses design features and classic styling with the large group in mind.
We have an oversized entertaining room, a slow combustion wood heater and reverse-cycle air conditioning.
The decks give rural views over glorious gardens, dam, swimming pool, spa and sauna.
The Highlands House is located only a short distance from the Colo Vale exit on The Hume Motorway 90 minutes south of Sydney. We are 10 minutes to Mittagong, 15 minutes to Bowral and 20 minutes to Berrima.
Gorgeous polished floorboards in the living area give the country feel.
Our roaring wood fire will keep you warm while the chefs in the kitchen get into action. We have a coffee machine, butler’s pantry, double dish drawer, high-end appliances and 5-burner gas stove top with chef’s oven.
The bathrooms are equally luxurious with two bathrooms having under floor heating.
The master suite has a king bed plus large single day bed overlooking the garden, a lovely sitting area and en suite .
Bedroom 5 also doubles as a media room with gas log fire, lounge suite and a large flatscreen tv.
The garden is nothing short of glorious. There are various “rooms” created with hedging, arbours, and various plantings of lemons, limes, apples, pears, grapes, roses and beautiful seasonal blossoms. Be sure to walk around to the front of the house and look back at the stunning stone wall and glass feature windows. There are beautiful nooks in which to sit and read, enjoy shade in summer and warm sunlight in cooler months.
There is an undercover bbq area and also a fully fenced swimming pool – perfect for summer entertainment (please be aware that Highland House has an Enviroswim freshwater swimming pool which uses a unique treatment technology, giving the water a slightly different appearance to chlorinated pools). If you would like the pool to be heated during your stay, it can be turned on for an extra cost as it is gas heated. If you would like to use sauna, it can be turned on for an extra cost. The Hot Tub is free to use. Outside the garden enclosure is a paddock with dam and some very curious and hungry vegetarian geese – be sure to send the scraps their way!

Honestly the best place I have ever stayed at. The house and gardens are absolutely beautiful! So much thought is obviously put into making sure people have everything they might need and the fresh eggs were everyone’s favourite! Communication was always easy and the hosts are so accommodating! Cannot recommend highly enough we would definitely stay again! Thanks for making my 40th birthday girls weekend away so special.
The highland house and property was very beautiful.Glad was very welcoming and friendly and made our arrival and introduction to the property very smooth.We enjoyed our stay very much even if it was only for a short stay.We would recommend to anyone looking at staying at the property.
A beautiful house with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Was very warm and cosy during wintertime and the nearby animals were an extra touch the kids loved. Would recommend staying here with a large family or group.
We stayed here with a group of families with kids under 10. We had a wonderful time. The pool and animal feeding was a big hit with the kids, and the spa and beautiful house was a big hit with the adults. We will be back!
My friends and I absolutely loved staying at this property. We found everything to be fantastic - the amenities, the cleanliness, the communication. Glad was an exceptional host and if permitting, we would definitely enjoy the opportunity to stay here again.
We stayed here for a few days with family. The house is absolutely beautiful and so comfortable - you really feel it's a home away from home. This property is a gem and managed so well. Hannah & Glad were so accommodating when we had to change dates and the kids loved feeding the Lamas, sheep and collecting eggs from the chickens!I can't recommend this stay more
We had a delightful stay at The Highland House. So comfortable and warm. Our family loved their stay and enjoyed the property. Fresh eggs, coffee and chocolates added which we enjoyed. Comfy beds! Outstanding views from the house. Thank you Hannah and Glad.
We have just enjoyed a wonderful weekend at Highland House . The house was spotlessly clean and they went over and above with special touches to make our stay very enjoyable .
The house was lovely and warm and very spacious for our party of 12.
This place was beautiful! We took 12 girls here for a girls weekend away. The house is stunning, with ample space and fully equipped with anything we could’ve wanted or needed.
The hot tub was a hit in the first day of spring!
Highland House is without doubt the best house stay we have had the pleasure to enjoy. Absolutely nothing is overlooked with the way the host provides everything you could need. Every room was warm and cosy. The bedroom and bathroom linen was spotless and there were plenty of towels for the pool, sauna and spa. The garden areas are lovely and well kept. I can’t fault a thing about this property.
Had an amazing time staying in preparation for our son’s wedding, the house was everting we wanted for our special weekend. We are looking forward to coming again, the owners made us feel so welcome and at home.

We enjoyed a big anniversary family celebration two years ago…so much that we came again. It was just as good as the first time. Thanks to Glad for taking the children under her wing. They had a ball feeding all the animals.
We stayed at the Highland House with 4 families, including 7 young kids. The house was stunning, it has everything you need and more. The hosts are really friendly and even took the kids to feed the animals each day. The pool and hot tub are a great addition. We’ll definitely be back.
We organised a long weekend with friends at Highland house. It was absolutely fabulous. Had everything we needed. A beautiful house and so comfortable. Location was easy for everyone to get to and not far away from the bigger centres of Mittagong and Berrima for shopping
This stay absolutely exceeded our expectations in every way. The host has thought about every little detail, from the bath salts, farm fresh eggs and abundance of pool towels and blankets around the property. The house was clean and well maintained, and the property grounds have a lot to offer! Thank you to the host for a wonderful stay.
We can’t wait to return to the highland house! We had the most magestic stay and Glad made us feel so welcome. Our children enjoyed exploring the grounds and feeding the animals. There was plenty of room for our party of 14 and the holiday was relaxing and enjoyable! 10/10!!
Fabulous property for a group of 8 women to celebrate 60 years of friendship
Absolutely amazing! Fully equipped home and very thoughtful hosts made our 3 night stay to celebrate 8 women all turning 60 an amazing experience. The home is beautifully decorated with super comfortable beds and multiple inside and outside zones to relax and/or party with friends. The hot tub was a bonus and would love to come back in the summer months to enjoy the beautiful pool.
