Cosy Yurt

We had a brief overnight stay in the yurt and it had everything that we needed: cosy, comfortable, clean in a pretty garden setting. The bed was comfortable and the shower was very nice. Indeed it is surprising what you can fit in a yurt. Bowral is a lovely place to visit.

Cosy little cottage

I really enjoyed my stay in this beautiful spot, the cottage had all I could ask for, in a lovely garden and the hosts were friendly and helpful. It is a little further out of town, I enjoyed the walk but some might prefer to travel by car. I was there for parkrun after all, which was only another 1km up the road in the Botanic gardens, so I was perfectly placed 🙂

Private recharge.

My wife and I needed a quiet place for a few days to unwind and refresh after a very busy few months. This was ideal as the yurt was quaint, private and our host Colin was very friendly and helpful while not being intrusive. We loved our time here.

Quick but delightful stay

I found this little gem and was not disappointed when we arrived. We'd never stayed in a yurt and it was just right for a quick night away. Cozy and clean. As the rain fell all night, the sound on the roof was soothing and delightful. Comfy bed and great, hot shower. Thanks Colin for your fabulous little hideaway. We'll be back sometime soon.

Why they chose this property

After living in cities for most of our lives, we saw our retirement as an opportunity to escape to the country and enjoy a more relaxed lifestyle. Bowral was an easy choice as the town has first class health services, all major supermarkets , a good selection of retail outlets and many excellent restaurants. It 's only a 2 hour train ride to the city of Sydney and a short drive to the South Coast. What's more it's one of the most beautiful parts of NSW with lots to see and do, plus the "locals" are friendly and welcoming.
