The beautiful little extras like cider, honey and fresh flowers inside were lovely. The location was amazing, being able to walk straight down to the forest and hearing all the different birds and frogs.Bed was super comfy and the sheets were best.

- Carlo (10/5): Was the perfect getaway, one night was not enough! - Quiet and peaceful! John Sarah and Rosie were the perfect hosts! Nothing
- Suneta (10/5): Hidden gem of a getaway in Bilpin - I was amazed by the absolute serenity that i experienced during my stay at this property.
Sarah & John welcomed me when checking in, along with their concierge doggo Rosie who was so sweet and friendly and checked the room first before I went in 😊 lots of bird life and bird watching can be done from the balcony of the cabin which was cool. I had a look at the (not so tiny home) and will look at booking that one next time as it looked very cosy inside. Nothing wrong at all with the property. It was absolutely beautiful. I went during winter, so once the sun went down, I didn't want to step outside. Took me a while the next morning to get out of the cabin and go for a bushwalk. Would like to hopefully stay for two nights so I have more time to enjoy the surroundings and appreciate the quiet r&r time.
- Nicola (10/5): Exceptional -
- Manas (10/5): Tranquil stay - Stunning location. We were blessed with clear skies and could see the Milkyway. Rosie the pupper is fabulous company along with both Sarah and John. Everything was great and we are sure to return here soon ! Everything was fabulous- only thing was that we were not sure if the jacuzzi/Spa was available as we were not told about it but was included in the booking.
Maybe next time :)
- Gerald (10/5): Exceptional -

- Katie (10/5): Exceptional - Really enjoyed our stay. The Bower is comfortable, cosy and well thought out, with lots of thoughtful finishing touches. The location is fantastic, thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the deck appreciating the peace and quiet, while enjoying a cuppa. The bed was very comfortable as were the sofas. Our hosts were lovely, especially Rosie. Can't recommend the Bower highly enough.
- David (10/5): Exceptional -
- Barbara (10/5): GEM, MUST STAY - two nights recommended to really enjoy and rejuvenate. - EVERYTHING and that is very rare for me to say after having traveled around the world twice staying in many different places and countries.

NOTHING - It really was a perfect stay.
