The Burrows of Penrose offers the perfect country escape, blending rustic charm with all the modern comforts you could ask for. Set on 100 acres of pristine countryside, this beautifully renovated four-bedroom homestead comfortably sleeps up to nine guests, making it ideal for families or groups. Inside, the open-plan living and dining area welcomes you with polished floorboards, generous seating, and a slow-combustion fireplace that sets the tone for relaxed evenings. The fully equipped chef’s kitchen features a premium 90cm oven, gas cooktop, microwave, dishwasher, and coffee pod machine, ensuring every meal feels effortless. With WiFi, a smart TV, a laptop-friendly workspace, and thoughtful extras like electric blankets and air conditioning in the living areas, you’ll feel right at home from the moment you arrive.
Step outside and breathe in the serenity of rural living. French doors open to a wrap-around veranda with sweeping views across the rolling landscape—perfect for your morning cuppa or an afternoon wine. The private lake invites summer swims or paddles (BYO kayaks), while the outdoor entertainment area sets the scene for al fresco dining with a 6+1 burner BBQ, pizza oven, and firepit. Challenge the family to a game of table tennis or explore the walking and bike trails that wind through the property. As the sun sets, gather around the firepit under a canopy of stars or enjoy the glow of the outdoor lights that frame this peaceful country haven.
The Burrows’ location makes it easy to enjoy the best of the Southern Highlands while still feeling wonderfully secluded. Just 3km from Sylvan Glen Estate—ideal for wedding guests—and a short drive to Penrose Post Café, Bundanoon village, and local favourites like the Bundanoon Hotel and Osborn House, you’ll have everything you need within reach. Spend the day exploring nearby wineries such as St Maur Farm Wines and Eling Forest Winery, or head further afield to see the stunning Fitzroy Falls. Whether you’re here for a country wedding, a family getaway, or a simple break from the city, this region delivers charm and discovery in equal measure.
Book your stay at The Burrows of Penrose and experience the magic of country life—where every sunset feels like your own private show.

Rural Property: Please note that under no circumstances are the following activities permitted at this or any of our rural properties: motorbikes, dirt bikes, quad bikes, use of firearms, air rifles or fireworks.
This property has external security cameras located at the front door and side of the house facing the paddocks.
Pets are NOT permitted at this property.

Notes
Code of Conduct: Payment for the booking warrants you and all guests staying will abide by the Code of Conduct for Short Term Rental Accommodation which can be viewed under the Guest Information tab on our website or a link which will be sent to you in your booking confirmation email.
Noise at Properties: NSW Planning has passed laws that affect guests. The Code of Conduct for holiday renting can be found on our website under the Guest Information tab. In Section 2.5.2 of the STR Code of Conduct, guests have an obligation to ensure the peace and comfort of neighbours and other occupants of the premises (if strata) near holiday rental properties. This means guests have to be very mindful of noise made in or outside the property that can disrupt neighbours at any time of the day. If you or any other guest receives a warning regarding excess noise or excess guests, you may be asked to leave the property immediately with no refund of monies. Noise audible outside the property is prohibited.
Privacy: This property is a holiday rental, it is not a principal place of residence and there are no shared rooms. Enjoy your time in comfort and privacy.
Terms and Conditions: Detailed T&Cs apply for this property and payment warrants your agreement and that of all other guests staying at the property with you. Please share the T&Cs with your other guests.
Check-in and -out Times: During the busy months of December and January, the check-in time is 4 pm to facilitate peak back-to-back changeovers. Our standard check-in time is 3 pm and check-out time is 10 am. We offer a complimentary early check-in or late check-out time as a gesture of goodwill where booking and housekeeping schedules allow. Note that due to demand and housekeeping pressures, no early check-ins or late check-outs will be granted during the months of December and January. The safest way to secure an early check-in or later check-out is to book the property for an extra night. Contact us for a special rate for this extra night. All Sunday late check outs must be requested and approved prior to 5 pm on the Friday evening prior. All complimentary early check-ins or late check-outs must be confirmed in writing so that our housekeeping team are informed accordingly.
Guest Registration: Guest registration is mandatory for all bookings and replaces the need for a cash bond for short term bookings (up to 20 nights). It is essential for fraud prevention, damage claims, safety, and emergency purposes. The process varies depending on the online travel agent used. Direct bookings require the booker to upload a copy of their driver’s licence and credit card through our encrypted online process.
Additional Guests: The guest limits apply at all times during the booking. Any extra guests (this includes day visitors) above those that have been booked and paid for must be approved in writing prior to the stay. Only the guests staying at the property are permitted to be present. If you wish to have visitors in addition to booked guests, you must advise us in writing prior to your stay and ensure you receive written permission. This is not possible at all properties.
No Extras: This property is approved for accommodation only. No mattresses, tents, caravans or more cars than the property accommodates are allowed. Under no circumstances are the following activities permitted at any of our properties: motorbikes, dirt bikes, quad bikes, use of firearms or air rifles, fireworks.
EV Charging: For safety reasons and to comply with insurance requirements, guests are prohibited from charging electric vehicles at any property that does not have a dedicated EV charging station. Charging electric vehicles without proper infrastructure poses a fire hazard, and in the unfortunate event of an incident, insurance cover may be compromised, and the guest held liable. If in doubt, ask our team for the closest EV charging station.
Long Stay Discounts: Out of peak season stays of a week or more may qualify for a discount, please send us a message.
Property Information: Information during your stay can be found in the Guest Information Folder or by calling our office 24/7.
Security Deposit: For most bookings, completion of our registration process and a valid credit card with a $1000 available limit is sufficient for the security deposit. For medium-term bookings (21-40 nights) and long-term bookings (41-90 nights), a non-negotiable cash security deposit is required. This deposit, held in our Trust Account, is refunded after the departure inspection, with any damage or loss deducted. The minimum cash deposit is $2000, with higher amounts for larger or more expensive properties, or at the owner’s/agent’s discretion.
Peace of Mind: For your added security, this property is managed by a Licensed Real Estate Agent. We will never request payments be made to an overseas bank account and your money is held safely in our Trust Account until after your departure.
List with Us: If we had more properties in our management portfolio, we could easily get them booked. Demand is high and supply just can’t keep up. Send us a message or call us if you would like to know more about the packages we offer for short term rental management.
