Hilltops Council pet-friendly rentals

We spent eight unforgettable nights here—a peaceful retreat from the bustle of life in Penrith, Sydney. It was just the four of us: my wife Marianni, our dog Keio, and my cousin Martine. From the moment we arrived, the house greeted us with warmth—both from the fireplace already lit, and the tidy, well-cared-for spaces that immediately felt like home.Each morning began with a quiet walk at sunrise, just us and the wide open sky, with Keio joyfully leading the way. In the evenings, we lit the fire pit and gathered around to roast marshmallows and enjoy simple barbecued meals, camping style. A glass of wine by the indoor fire, watching a film as the wind whispered outside, made winter here something magical.The sunrises and sunsets are truly breathtaking—nature’s theatre right at your doorstep. This place is more than just a house; it’s a little pocket of stillness and beauty, and we are deeply grateful for the time we spent here.We’ll definitely return.

Cath was a wonderful host. Home full of old world charm. The wood fire in the living room much appreciated on a cold but fantastic weekend away. House catered for 6 adults comfortably. Home set in a private yet convenient location. Lovely grounds. On a side note, recommend Twin Towns Pizza and Harden Country Club for great food

Such a little slice of heaven to stay in this cottage. 2nd time here and couldn’t first remember exactly why we loved it so much, we just knew we wanted to go again. Now I remember: it’s the lovely feeling of being dropped inside a countryside painting, in a cute little cottage, with your fence around you to keep your nearest and dearest close. Sharee and Bill are so lovely, and this time we visitors Wyangala Dam for the day for a picnic. Boorowa pool is great and the town bakery has the best lamingtons I’ve had in my life!

Loved it; beautiful house in nice location but still only 20 minutes from Cowra. Attractions include Lachlan River, Wyangala Dam and Milky Way overhead. Only suggestion would be a wall heater in the bathroom.
