Friendly place

We had a great week here. It's a good location for exploring the area, the studio was clean and well-equipped and we found Johnny to be very friendly and helpful in advising about places to visit. We had a small issue which he quickly resolved, then he checked that all was well the following day. We would highly recommend this accommodation.

Wonderful

A very pleasant stay in a very quiet location.The accommodation is far nicer than the on-line photos show. The kitchen is very well equipped. There is a shelf of books to read and DVD'S to watch, along with TV. Large windows allow the north sun to shine in. Many heaters are provided but very little heating is required to make the rooms warm and cosy due to the thermal efficiency of the building. Lots of cafes and restaurants close by plus 2 supermarkets. 10 minutes travel time to Burradoo and Berrima.

About the host

Hosted by Maria French

Host profile image
We have been the owners for at least 19 years and have lived in this same street for 27 years.
This property was transformed by us 13 years ago when we undertook building a major extension and separate building which is Studio Rouge.
We live on site.

Why they chose this property

This property tells an interesting story about part of the history of old Bowral. We chose to buy this property to save some of that history which was being destroyed at that time. Many of the tools used by the saddler, whose wife lived here in the early 1930's and together until they passed the property on, were left behind in many of the sheds. We salvaged many of them and donated some to the Berrima Museum where they are on exhibit.
It is so conveniently located in the heart of Bowral, in a very quiet and private location.

What makes this property unique

This property offers a mix of the old and modern, featuring some sustainable elements like double glazing, extensive insulation with the living area facing north and is clad in mini orb. The Studio space is light and airy and spacious,with considerable room to move and relax.
If you step out onto Merrigang Street and head in any direction you will encounter ducks on the stream, a memorial walk which in takes you in and around the centre of Old Bowral or head up the hill and experience a challenging walk up "The Gib" through the unique vegetation and can learn more about our history on the way to the lookout.
