We had a lovely stay at Martha's, I would highly recommend it for families and groups travelling to Bowral. The house is very well equipped with everything you could need and the gardens are beautiful, full of interesting nooks and crannies. The owner was very easy to contact and responsive and we loved sitting in front of the fire each evening and relaxing. I would certainly come back to Martha's for my next visit.

This is a real gem! We had a wonderful time here staying with family. The garden is stunning. At night the garden looked like a fairy garden and the grandkids just loved it! In addition, we enjoyed the fire pit and wood fired pizza oven. The house is very comfortable and the hosts had thought of everything. Would love to return!

The host was friendly, responsive and helpful. The house was really well kitted out with lots of cooking pans/utensils/crockery and cutlery: bathroom essentials were provided. The lounge and bedrooms were comfortable-the outdoor areas were well supplied with seats etc and there’s plenty of garden to make the surrounds peaceful, green and tranquil. Next door is a huge oval and recreation area; very handy for an active 4 year old to run and explore.

A beautiful family getaway

Martha's hideaway is a beautiful property which accommodates 8 adults very comfortably. The block of land is spacious and so many areas to sit and enjoy each other's company. The firepit and pizza oven are a especially wonderful!! The kitchen is also spacious if you want to cook. We would stay here again without hesitation!

Great, comfortable getaway

Such a gorgeous place for a friends weekend away. So comfortable and cosy, no need to leave. John was great with communication and happy for us to relax and check out late ( when possible). Beautifully clean, comfortable, warm and cosy, we’re looking forward to coming back with our husbands to sit around the fire pit and make a pizza in that oven! Plenty of room, great beds, warm fireplace and quality linens. Thanks for a great getaway!

Comfort and style in the Highlands

Marthas did not disappoint. John has created a space that ticks all the boxes and is by far our most enjoyable rental experience to date. We had the opportunity to stay a lengthy period and from day one till when we left we noted no stone unturned making for a truly relaxing time. From the most comfortable beds and beautiful bedding through to the thoughtful art and decor. The appliances were what you wish were in all holiday rentals, 5 star. John was terrific with all communication & instructions providing prompt replies. The finishing touches were yet another reflection of the fine lodgings; greeting gifts, endless supply of quality coffee to compliment the coffee machine, ample provisions of all manner contributing to our comfort. Additionally, the location was better than expected; easy access to all the Southern Highlands, Central Sydney 1hr10, Shell Harbour 55min, Thirrhoul 1hr, and all of the beautiful rainforest and scenic country in between. Not forgetting the treasures of Bowral itself. When staying local the backyard was a perfect space to explore and play with the children while getting to know the resident Kookaburras. We were even able to use the vegetables from the garden in our various creations. Suffice to say, we had tremendous fun and a holiday we will remember for many years. Thank you John and your Marthas!

Martha’s was a great spot for a group stay. It offered a perfect cosy venue to get together The 4 bedrooms are a great size with lovely linen, decor and very comfy beds. The kitchen is super well appointed and well equipped for entertaining Outside the fire pit and pizza oven were great draw cards for us and we were most grateful to have the well stocked wood pile.
