The Southern Highlands is a beautiful year-round destination.

Bowral is a such a safe destination, so you can wander to your heart's content.
Our Villa is within walking distance of the train station and Bowral is serviced by taxis.
If you have your own car, there is free unlimited parking right out the front on The Hidden Door side of Bundaroo Street (and around the corner in Bendooley Street). Across the road there are some parking restrictions during weekday business hours and Saturday morning.

Great property
We stayed at the villa for two nights for a girls getaway and absolutely loved in! So much so that we spent our second afternoon/night at the property rather than going out for dinner! We loved the fireplace and the robes that were provided. Would definitely stay again

Stylish, stunning, the best!
We loved our long weekend in Bowral, this little cottage ticked all the boxes. Beautifully styled with modern / new facilities. Lovely private courtyard protected from the weather - perfect!
We had a brilliant stay at the Villa. Property is better than the photos & the attention to detail is second to none. We wouldn't hesitate re-booking when we are next in Bowral.
Very attractive and well equipped property. Good heating options. Super comfortable beds. Great location- minutes walk to main street. Easy parking out the front. Absolutely nothing negative. Very happy to stay again and recommend.

This Villa was the ideal size and layout. Just what we needed and the location in Bowral was awesome. We were lucky to have some lovely sunny days and some poorer weather and the unit is cool when required and cosy and warm when needed. Equipped with luxury fittings and appliances and beautiful decor. The groom and male wedding party prepared here, and had plenty of space to accommodate the extra adults comfortably.

Hidden treasure
The Villa was beautiful and a good walking distance to the town centre. The host popped in and introduced herself and Maree the contact person was in good communication and offered great suggestions for our stay. There was a revolving pantry which was good for things like basics. They also were excellent at fixing any concerns we had. The only downside was, we based our original search on having air con given the hottest time of year and there was only a portable unit in the upstairs bedroom but none downstairs in the living. So be aware of this and because there were no bug screens on the back or front door it was hard to get airflow through at nights when in the living areas which made it a little uncomfortable on those really hot nights. We would stay there again (but not in the height of summer) as it truly was beautifully set out with good ammenities. Thank you for a mostly pleasant stay.

So good of you to take the time to write a review, Rachael. Much appreciated. Apologies about the weather. It’s been one of the hottest (and prolonged) summers on record. It’s rare for Bowral to be so stifling at this time of year. As hard as it is to believe at the moment, people come to the Highlands to escape the summer heat! It’s usually making sure that the villa’s cosy, not cool, that preoccupies us! Still, we are looking into our options on the air-conditioning front and will have a solution in place well before next summer. Thanks again.
love this property quality bedlinen and towels , great kitchen facilities and wonderful location, walking to all the shops and restaurants. will be staying here again love it !

This is a fantastic villa which was perfect for 2 couples. The attention to detail is spectacular. We were able to walk everywhere and we didn’t need our car unless we were leaving Bowral. We would definitely stay here again
