The Woodland studio was a wonderful and relaxing place to stay and unwind. The Gardens and surrounding bushland make it so tranquil. Having 2 bedrooms and a separate living area was perfect for us. The hosts were lovely, and had everything set out beautifully for our stay. Comfortable beds, and everything was very clean too. Would definitely stay again and will recommend to our friends too.

Great place if you're looking for a weekend away at Bowral. The space is very clean and comfortable with 2 bedrooms, cozy living room and bathroom. Kitchen is decent however we did not require as there are many places to eat in town. There is a nice outdoor setting however it was raining so we didnt get a chance to enjoy. We did appreciate the book selection, games and TV for indoor entertaining. Location was also great. Thanks Fiona for hosting such a nice place.

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.
