Fantastic Getaway

This property was absolutely perfect!! My family and I could not have booked a better place for our New Year getaway. The manor was absolutely beautiful, extremely clean with all the amenities required and so spacious, considering there was 17 of us. Location was also perfect, nestled away for total privacy, yet only 10 mins from Bowral. Can’t wait to go nack.
