Great property

We stayed at the villa for two nights for a girls getaway and absolutely loved in! So much so that we spent our second afternoon/night at the property rather than going out for dinner! We loved the fireplace and the robes that were provided. Would definitely stay again

My son's wedding in the Southern Highlands

This Villa was the ideal size and layout. Just what we needed and the location in Bowral was awesome. We were lucky to have some lovely sunny days and some poorer weather and the unit is cool when required and cosy and warm when needed. Equipped with luxury fittings and appliances and beautiful decor. The groom and male wedding party prepared here, and had plenty of space to accommodate the extra adults comfortably.

Hidden treasure

The Villa was beautiful and a good walking distance to the town centre. The host popped in and introduced herself and Maree the contact person was in good communication and offered great suggestions for our stay. There was a revolving pantry which was good for things like basics. They also were excellent at fixing any concerns we had. The only downside was, we based our original search on having air con given the hottest time of year and there was only a portable unit in the upstairs bedroom but none downstairs in the living. So be aware of this and because there were no bug screens on the back or front door it was hard to get airflow through at nights when in the living areas which made it a little uncomfortable on those really hot nights. We would stay there again (but not in the height of summer) as it truly was beautifully set out with good ammenities. Thank you for a mostly pleasant stay.
Response from VrboOwner on 17 Mar 2020
So good of you to take the time to write a review, Rachael. Much appreciated. Apologies about the weather. It’s been one of the hottest (and prolonged) summers on record. It’s rare for Bowral to be so stifling at this time of year. As hard as it is to believe at the moment, people come to the Highlands to escape the summer heat! It’s usually making sure that the villa’s cosy, not cool, that preoccupies us! Still, we are looking into our options on the air-conditioning front and will have a solution in place well before next summer. Thanks again.
