Old Bowral History in the heart of town xx

Our Cottage, which was built over One Hundred Years ago is both intimate and elegant having recently been fully renovated and painted both inside and outside featuring a gas fire, new ducted air conditioning, new large smart TV, new lounges, heated towel rail, a Master Bedroom with its’ new King Bed that can be split into Two Single Beds and a Second Bedroom with its’ new Queen Bed together with a beautiful garden space to sit in fronting the road through a garden and a white picket fence and a rear deck on which to quietly enjoy our beautiful Southern Highlands weather.

The whole Cottage, which looks like something out of a magazine including all of the comforts of home, is yours to escape to & enjoy.

Perfect for golfing weekends, wedding guests, girls' weekends, romantic weekends, families and business travellers etc.

We are also Pet Friendly.

Our Cottage is a flat 3 minute walk to the heart of Old Bowral with its restaurants, cafés and boutiques, gorgeous parks, museums, galleries, vineyards and golf courses.

For larger groups we can offer accommodation for up to 14 people with our two Hidden Door properties and our secluded private luxury boutique home, Hall House, which is also within minutes walk to the heart of Old Bowral:
• The Hidden Door Cottage - 2 Bedrooms - Sleeps 4 - 1 Bathroom;
• The Hidden Door Villa - 2 Bedrooms - Sleeps 4 - 2 Bathrooms; and
• Hall House - 3 Bedrooms - Sleeps 6 - 2 Bathrooms and a Luxury Outdoor Spa.

The Hidden Door Cottage & Villa are both self contained and separate.

All of our properties, which are under separate listings, have been recently renovated both inside and outside. Hall House is our only property that does NOT allow pets.

We can split our King Bed in the Master Bedroom into Singles. We cannot split the Queen Bed in our Second Bedroom. Please let us know at the time of booking if you would like the King Bed split.

All beds are fitted with electric blankets for the cooler nights.

We are only a phone call away, so don't hesitate to call us if you'd like tips on where to visit, shop and dine in the Highlands. Live like a local, regardless of the length of your stay.

The Southern Highlands is a beautiful year-round destination. Stop-in-your-track colour characterises autumn; snow sometimes accompanies winter; spring dazzles with its kaleidoscope of colour; and summer warm days with low humidity. Bowral is a such a safe destination, so you can wander to your heart's content.

Our Cottage 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 a

Luxury Bowral Stay
I could tell from the moment we walked into The Hidden Door Cottage, Bowral that this was a very special place. The Cottage was just beautiful, the ultra modern air conditioner was on and we felt so welcomed and comfortable. Our Hosts Jo & Greg have created a luxury retreat in Bowral which is only minutes away from the main street. We loved our Bowral stay and most important, we'll be back.

Wonderful Winter Retreat
We stayed at the Hidden Door Cottage as a winter retreat for a significant wedding anniversary. The hosts, Greg and Jo were friendly and helpful. Local knowledge was lovely to make the most of our interests - walking and photography. The links to the local restaurants was much appreciated, too. The place was immaculate, and we loved having the cottage to ourselves. The gas fire was great to curl up near in the evenings and read books. We loved the lovely wooden ducks, and went on a mission to find some at Berrima. It is in an ideal location for a leisurely stroll to the main street to check out the shops and walk to dinner. Would recommend.

Impressively beautiful property
From the moment the front door swung open this property was one wow to the next. It was immaculately presented and beautifully decorated with luxurious yet cosy rooms. My adult daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our mid week break which was made all the better with the comfy beds, warm rooms, fluffy towels and generous toiletries left by the owner. It’s location in a quiet leafy street, just one block off the Main Street of Bowral, offered many choices for eating, shopping and entertainment, though we could just as easily have eaten in in the modern and well equipped kitchen. We certainly enjoyed an afternoon wine on the outside balcony. I would not hesitate to book this property again and highly recommend it to couples or adults who like a relaxing break with a touch of luxury.

A must stay when visiting the Southern Highlands.
We visited Bowral to attend a family wedding, this cottage was so well presented. The history of the cottage has been well preserved and it is styled impeccably. The beds are luxurious. The location is perfect, everything is in walking distance but is far enough away that you don't hear the town. If you are visiting the Southern Highlands, this stay is a must.
