About the host
Hosted by Dora
We are a couple of European descent who moved to the Southern Highlands from Sydney life. Over the past 15 years we had been regular visitors, enjoying many bed & breakfasts in the Highlands, and taking in the country life and all it has to offer. We made the decision to leave the city life behind a little over three years ago, and move to the Highlands, and have never looked back!
Why they chose this property
What drew us to the Highlands was the clean air, nature walk, wineries and the people. You can rest assured that there is something here to do all year round. From trekking through the national parks taking in the tranquil scenery and waterfalls, to sitting back in front of a fire place in Winter and enjoying a glass or two of your favourite wine. No matter where you are in the Highlands, you will always receive a warm welcome from the locals.
What makes this property unique
Our recently built cottage is perfectly situated just over an hours drive from Sydney and minutes from nature walks and wineries. Our outdoor fire pit is the perfect setting to enjoy a quiet intimate night under the winter sky and under a starry filled sky. Or if you’d prefer a hot soak in the hot tub, we have that too. The choice is yours!
