A brilliant place to stay while in the Southern Highlands

We enjoyed the peace and quiet location, which was close enough to Bowral. The venue was of an excellent size for 2 people, with great inclusions and an excellent selection of breakfast foods. Our hosts were absolutely wonderful during our 2 night staff.

Great accommodation

It was a very comfortable stay. Faye thought of everything. The room was lovely and toasty warm for us on arrival, we were peckish after the drive and there was bread, fruit, yogurts in the room. The property is located close to the main strip in Bowral. Perfect stay for the two of us.

The best break from Sydney

From the get go Faye was so helpful. She picked me up from the railway station and was on hand just in case I needed anything. The annex was probably the best equipped accommodation I have seen. She catered for any kind of weather, any kind of break - in fact I was totally spoilt for two days

Lovely little cottage

Its a cute little cottage, just behind the main house. The owners were lovely and gave us a very friendly welcome, but also gave us a lot of privacy. The cottage was very comfortable with all the basics you need; tv, comfy beds and bedding, shower, dining table and fridge. The breakfast was generous and easy. There are no cooking facilities, but we just put together a cheese platter for dinner and the kitchen was perfect for that! Great place to stay for a night or two!

What a great choice we made. We were after a cozy setting for a girls catch up in the Southern Highlands in August and this cottage fit the bill perfectly. Spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished and styled, all in a gorgeous garden setting. Faye and Anthony have done a stunning job putting this accommodation and continental breakfast package together and are friendly and helpful hosts. We will be back for sure.

Stunning accommodation - even better than the photos

This accommodation is so beautiful and Faye has gone to a lot of effort to add so many extra special touches. We had a selection of goodies and produce provided. The bed was so comfortable and there was plenty of room for us to stretch out in the self contained room. It was central to the township for east access to cafes and shops. We were attending a Concert at Centennial Winery and it was a fantastic location for this. We did not want to leave. It was just a wonderful stay.

Wonderful relaxing retreat

We stayed at Anahoe for 3 nights while in Bowral for a friends wedding. It was an ideal retreat in a very quiet neighbourhood while only being 6 or 7 minutes to town. The converted stable is very well appointed with kitchenette, lounge, apple tv, netflix, stan etc.. Plus a delicious continental breakfast with muesli, sourdough, raison toast, and lots of spreads! Great coffee and tea selection! And the bed was amazingly comfortable! Faye and Anthony were extremely welcoming hosts who made sure we hadn't run out of any provisions during our 3 days. All in all excellent, and would highly recommend!

My wife and I really enjoyed Anahoe Stables. A standalone little retreat set alongside a well manicured garden. Everything you could need was provided. The place was very clean.I mentioned espresso coffee to Faye by email just before we departed for our trip, and how we had ordered a pod machine to bring with us but it did not arrive in time. Hours later, when we arrived at Anahoe, Faye had already gone out, bought a machine and installed it in the retreat. She even included a separate milk frother and dedicated cups and saucers.We enjoyed sitting outside sipping a cocktail or coffee whilst overlooking the gardens and hearing the bird songs.Faye had the AC turned on before our arrival so that the retreat was cool and comfortable when we arrived.We hope to come back some day. Thank you!
