Tom Jones Weekend
We had a great weekend in Bowral. The house is great and spacious enough for a group of friends. Easy walk into town with coffee just down the road for the early risers. Thank you.

A perfect location

The house is roomy and very comfortable - The pictures on the site must have been taken quite some time ago and is not an accurate representation of what you walk into.Beware that there is no WiFi - the advert may have changed - if you are going with kids who are data hungry then be sure to take a WiFi device with you.If you have disability with respect to knees / hips / back - the bath may well be problematic for you.We hired the house given its proximity to the town centre - four mates who were there to enjoy their golf, drinks and chatter. For us, the place was perfect.Communication with the property manager was exceptional and she tried her hardest to make sure we got in as early as we could, thank you.

Disappointing

We chose this property for its proximity to town, which was great. Unfortunately the house looked nothing like the warm, cosy environment that was depicted in the photos, actually it was far from it. On opening the door we were hit with a stale mouldy smell which didn’t go away. Poor quality bedding and old towels which we had to look for didn’t help. All the bedrooms had seriously cracked walls and the furniture had been staged for the website. The house has been seriously neglected. It was advertised as having air conditioning which it didn’t and a fire place with no wood made it very uncomfortably cold. Cleanliness was defiantly an issue. This had made me wary of believing in this website again. We left first thing in the morning and avoided going back until bedtime for both days of our stay. Would definitely not recommend this property to anyone.

A lovely way to enjoy the Southern Highlands

We all enjoyed our stay in this very well located house. There was some confusion regarding wifi and this could have been made clearer to us on the original listing. It would also have helped our check in if we had been told the name of the street where the on site car park was located (house was on a corner and we had a little trouble locating the car entry point). Otherwise it was a very enjoyable stay and there was plenty to enjoy locally.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!!

Our group had arranged a weekend away in Bowral and booked this property in hopes of a pleasant experience; however, we were greatly deceived. Despite the good location of the property in regards to the main strip of Bowral, we had faced several issues during our stay. Upon arrival, we noticed that there was an alarming number of cracks on the walls, lights weren't working in certain rooms, linen was stained, along with a stale smell, dust being rampant throughout all the rooms; all of which was not disclosed in the advertisement of the property. We understand a "1920's" property would be lived in, but again, this was not outlined in the advertisement. The cleanliness was so poor that one our group members suffered a severe allergic eczema reaction and had to seek medical attention. Although not an issue but a factor to keep in mind, the maintenance of the property was poor; unlike the photo the gardens of the property hadn't been recently cared for. Following our stay, we received a message and an extra fee of $200 from the host accusing us of leaving the property in a state with so much rubbish, which is false, as we disposed all of our rubbish in the outside bins. Along with clogging the outside toilet with wipes, to which we DID NOT use. In addition to the $200 extra fee, she has claimed she will forward a "costly" plumbing fee. If you check the previous reviews of this property, the host has a reputation of this accusatory behaviour. In saying this, DO NOT STAY HERE!!!

A great getaway from Sydney.

We thoroughly enjoyed our girls weekend away from Sydney. Staying here was very convenient and close to town which as a group gave us the flexibility we needed. It was warm, cozy and spacious. However on entry the house was a bit musty and it was lacking nice touches like milk and enough tea bags. Other than that we were happy.

About the host

Hosted by Tanya Nicholas

I love being a host and hearing my guests have a delightful stayz. I assist traveler's in having a wonderful experience. I am always adding layers of styling to my property to make it comfy and cosy for my guests.

Why they chose this property

Casa Antica is a quintessential Bowral Californian Bungalow home built in 1927 . The period features are exceptional and rare with decorative 10'ft ceilings, timber floorboards throughout and large picture windows all within a double brick structure. The veranda makes outdoor entertaining lots of fun as the home is elevated with a lovely outlook on a large flat block. A rare and charming period home within 200m to the township of Bowral.

What makes this property unique

I adore old world charm, the spacious flowing floor plan and a cosy log fireplace - all within a stroll to town.
