About this property

Lulu's Cottage, a hidden gem — short stroll to Bowral CBD

Lulu’s Cottage boasts a quiet, leafy location. Only a short walk to Bowral Village, it offers a spacious yet cosy, comfortable, retreat whilst visiting the stunning Southern Highlands of NSW

Tastefully decorated, the comfortable living area at the rear of the cottage opens onto a covered deck where you can enjoy breakfast, a cup of coffee, lunch, BBQ or just have a glass of your favourite wine while you unwind —looking out on the private fully-fenced leafy garden.

Lulu’s Cottage has 3 bedrooms (Queen size beds in two of the bedrooms and two single beds in the third - which can be push together to be a king but MUST be requested at time of booking) positioned at the front of cottage away from the living area. Two bathrooms (one, the ensuite with conventional walk in shower and the second/main with a shower over the bath) plus a dressing room/walk-in robe with enough space to store all your luggage.

An easy 450m stroll to the north gets you to Harris Farm Market, which has everything — fruit & veg, condiments, sweets, fresh bread, butcher, fishmonger, Caffé Rosso (coffee/Italian restaurant) and still an easy walk to many other interesting shops such as Dirty Jane's Emporium and Harry’s on Green Lane Cafe or Ludo restaurant approx 700m, Woolworths approx 800m, Onesta Cuccina and boutique shopping 900m, with the Railway station about a kilometre away.
So it's really an easy stroll to and around the Bowral Village CBD from 700m to 1.3km at the farther end.

Visit the stunning private gardens that are a delight in spring and autumn, the international cricket hall of Fame (if you're a cricket enthusiast) or take a drive to Fitzroy Falls or any one of the many other natural delights of the Southern Highlands. Then after your busy day, head back to the comforts of Lulu's Cottage for a well deserved rest.

Beautiful property

We recently had a short break here with my so, wife and two small girls. The property was very spacious and well equipped and we felt at home. My three and a half year old granddaughter was enchanted by the garden and all the little angel wind chimes - well worth a visit.

A wonderful place! Trish was an amazing h

Our stay was fabulous. The house is so warm and inviting and in a beautiful location… The garden is gorgeous and our only regret was the cold, wet weather which kept us from being outside all the time! Every detail has been considered and we were so comfortable. Many thanks for a memorable stay!

ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!

LuLu's Cottage is absolutely gorgeous. So many additional extras (including the lovely home made treats on arrival). Dont think we've ever stayed in more comfy beds ever. The beautiful Kookaburra that was our visitor the whole weekend just made the already gorgeous back yard that much better. The location was great with us being able to walk into town easily and Trish was a gem to deal with. Couldnt recommend highly enough and will DEFINITELY stay again. Hard to get a more perfect stay.
