Escape to an enchanting Bowral hideaway, with inspired interior design and a large private garden setting, providing relaxation from the moment of arrival. This original stone home is reminiscent of a cottage in a fairy-tale.
The space
The Croft is a freshly restored four-bedroom two-bathroom home perfect for a weekend away or an extended stay. Reset, reconnect and feel the calm, then explore Bowral’s boutique shopping, dining destinations, and the Southern Highlands’ tourist attractions. Our guests also love being just a few minutes from the area’s wedding venues.
Curl up on the huge sofa in the family room and watch a movie or sport on the 65-inch Smart TV, enjoy pre-dinner drinks in the lounge, or on the terrace, and spend time unwinding in this lovingly updated home and professionally maintained garden. The quality fitout includes a bespoke selection of classic and contemporary furniture and artwork, all chosen to enhance your stay.
The spacious design is outstanding with two beautifully styled living zones, two dining areas, and a well-appointed kitchen with everything you need to cook for friends and family. There’s a 90-centimetre Ilve oven and cooktop, plenty of cookware and appliances, premium glasses and dinnerware, a pod coffee machine and teapots for a proper cup of tea in the garden. A full tea service set for 8 guests, including china teacups, afternoon tea stands, a silver tea service and accouterments can be provided on request.
A sense of style is at the heart of the classic lounge and dining rooms, light-filled family room, and each spacious bedroom. Choose from king-size or queen-size beds with premium linen, admire the botanical beauty through French windows and doors, and love the refined palette of original timber floors, soft grey carpet and crisp white paintwork. The Croft offers a ground-floor and first-floor bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as an upstairs dressing room/nursery.
There’s new ducted heating and air conditioning, and an open fireplace and wood heater, making this the perfect retreat no matter what the season. Located in one of Bowral’s best streets, this stone-fronted home sits proudly in a landscaped garden where you can dine outdoors on shaded or sun-filled terraces, explore the adjacent paddock that is part of the expansive grounds, and feel immersed in nature.
