- Umamaheswari (9/5): Family vacation at Bowral - The place was very lovely to stay in and it was very homely. Appreciate all that kitchen and bathroom facilities along with the utensils and toiletries. I loved the kitchen especially as our whole family needs to cook food due to dietary restrictions. The hosts were very gentle and promptly replied to my questions. There is nothing to dislike. It would have been great if there were pedestal fans in the bedroom as the rooms got very warm around 3:00 a.m. in the mornings.

- Kate (10/5): Gem to discover - Beautifully set out clean and tidy 2 BDR home, including lots of little thoughtful extras. Quiet but central location, ample street parking with off-street available if required.
Easy 5min gentle walking distance to the main streets of Bowral. Comfy and warm beds (no electric blanket but didn't need it). Ample heating is available in all rooms. The shower had great water pressure. Fully kitted out kitchen if you want to cook. Breakfast/snack supplies and fresh milk was a lovely extra touch.
Nice covered back verandah to enjoy outside time especially in the mid afternoon. Friendly cockatoos and magpies which sang beautifully but kept a respectful distance too added to the experience. Nothing, except having to leave 😉
- Dave (10/5): - The house was very comfortable and the breakfast assortment left for us was a nice touch.
- Janine (10/5): - The house was the perfect fit for our weekend stay in Bowral. The rooms are tastefully decorated, simple yet elegant and the beds and pillows are super comfy. We had everything we needed as well as the very generous snack platter left for us by the owners. The location is also perfect far enough off the main street to be quiet yet close enough to walk and grab a coffee in the morning.
