We had a lovely stay at this cottage, very warm, cosy, new and super clean. Sitting on the verandah in the crisp fresh air with a cup of tea and watching the nature around was a highlight for me. Noelaine is a great host, with good communication and the supply of essential food items and eggs, bacon & bread was very much appreciated. Would stay again.

Absolutely fantastic stay at Elysium! Noelaine was so helpful in providing arrival information and welcoming us when we arrived. Getting to feed the cows was a highlight! The cottage is well appointed, with all the things you need for a comfy stay. Kitchen was well stocked with all the equipment and tools you need to make a meal if you choose which was a huge plus, as our plan was to stay in both nights to enjoy the peacefulness of the region. Would highly recommend a stay at Elysium!

An idyllic weekend get-away for Father's Day weekend! Elysium Cottage is charming, peaceful and our hosts Noelaine and Allan made our stay very special with thoughtful little touches like providing breakfast supplies, a bowl of Lindt balls and the opportunity to feed their cows. Perfectly located for easy access to Fitzroy Falls and an easy drive to nearby Bowral or Robertson, this is the perfect spot to explore the Southern Highlands. It's just a pity that the property is now for sale.

Wonderful stay

My wife and I plus 6-year-old stayed at Elysium for three nights. To summarise 10/10… Property is new, fresh and incredibly clean. There is a great aspect over the fields towards the reservoir. Noelaine and Allan are great hosts. Highly recommend staying at the property and would be our first choice for the next trip.

We totally annoyed our weekend of bushwalking and being able to retreat and relax in this beautiful and well appointed cottage. Our hostess was welcoming and friendly and we were delighted to find breakfast and other treats on our arrival. Couldn’t have chosen a better spot to rest, relax and enjoy the treasure of Fitzroy Falls. Thank you so much. 😊

About the host

Hosted by Noelaine Medforth

Host profile image
Elysium is owned by us - Allan & Noelaine Medforth. When we purchased the property there was nothing here but cow paddocks. Since then, we've been working hard to develop the property ie. building 2 dwellings, landscaping, paddock improvement etc. Although, it's still a work-in-progress, it already has all the hallmarks of a truly amazing place to live - we love it!

Why they chose this property

If you're looking for a truly serene place to spend some time in nature & getaway from the chaos of the city, this place is the perfect retreat.
