The accommodation was perfect and very comfortable for our little family. The space was very clean and well set up - with everything one might need. Location was peaceful with a lovely shared garden, but very close to town by car. Fiona was a lovely host and Eve included very thoughtful extras like fresh bread and jam! She was very responsive in communications and flexible with check out timing - for which we were very grateful. Would definitely stay there again.

What a beautiful and serene place. The accommodation was perfectly appointed for us, and comfortable beds for our family of four. While the kitchen doesn’t have a stove (which we knew), it has an effective electric frypan which we put to use. Great location, just two minutes drive from Bowral Main Street. Fiona was a most welcoming and responsive host. Recommended.

The studio was comfortable, clean, private, with all the amenities you could wish for. We were only there for one night so didnt get for a walk to national park. It really was a little far from Bowral if you wanted to walk but that didnt matter for our purposes. Lovely little touches with fresh flowers, fresh bread and breakfast choices. We loved it

Fiona and Graham were very welcoming and left us some nice breakfast supplies. The apartment is small but worked well for us as we need two bedrooms. The heater worked well which was good because it was unseasonally chilly. The tv was good with Netflix and there were many books and games to keep us entertained. The situation is very quiet & while it's in the bush it's only 5 minutes drive from Bowral centre. The fittings are basic but adequate and considering it's two bedrooms the price was excellent - very reasonable.

The studio is compact but readily accommodated 2 boys (8 and 10) and immersed us in a lush bush setting whilst being a 2 minute drive to town. It's interior is cozy with wonderful art and the garden is so serene we loved reading in the shade. A very restful place to relax. The kitchenette is microwave only so plan on dining out for dinner but fine for breakfast to microwave porridge, toast and coffee. Highly recommended.

Ideal Spot for a Busy Wedding ScheduleI’m

A lovely and convenient place to stay between wedding events spread across different venues.It did the trick: clean room, comfy bed after long days in formal wear, and a shower with decent pressure.Centrally located—easy to get between the ceremony, reception, and local amenities.Quick check-in was a plus, especially since I was living out of a garment bag all weekend.Cosy and perfect as a sleep-and-go spot for a packed wedding schedule.
