    The whole Cottage, which looks like something out of a magazine including all of the comforts of home, is yours to escape to & enjoy.

    Perfect for golfing weekends, wedding guests, girls' weekends, romantic weekends, families and business travellers etc.

    We are also Pet Friendly.

    Our Cottage is a flat 3 minute walk to the heart of Old Bowral with its restaurants, cafés and boutiques, gorgeous parks, museums, galleries, vineyards and golf courses.

    For larger groups we can offer accommodation for up to 14 people with our two Hidden Door properties and our secluded private luxury boutique home, Hall House, which is also within minutes walk to the heart of Old Bowral:
    • The Hidden Door Cottage - 2 Bedrooms - Sleeps 4 - 1 Bathroom;
    • The Hidden Door Villa - 2 Bedrooms - Sleeps 4 - 2 Bathrooms; and
    • Hall House - 3 Bedrooms - Sleeps 6 - 2 Bathrooms and a Luxury Outdoor Spa.

    The Hidden Door Cottage & Villa are both self contained and separate.

    All of our properties, which are under separate listings, have been recently renovated both inside and outside. Hall House is our only property that does NOT allow pets.

    We can split our King Bed in the Master Bedroom into Singles. We cannot split the Queen Bed in our Second Bedroom. Please let us know at the time of booking if you would like the King Bed split.

    All beds are fitted with electric blankets for the cooler nights.

    We are only a phone call away, so don't hesitate to call us if you'd like tips on where to visit, shop and dine in the Highlands. Live like a local, regardless of the length of your stay.

    The Southern Highlands is a beautiful year-round destination. Stop-in-your-track colour characterises autumn; snow sometimes accompanies winter; spring dazzles with its kaleidoscope of colour; and summer warm days with low humidity. Bowral is a such a safe destination, so you can wander to your heart's content.

    Our Cottage is within walking distance of the train station and Bowral is serviced by taxis.

    If you have your own car, there is free unlimited parking right out the front on The Hidden Door side of Bundaroo Street (and around the corner in Bendooley Street). Across the road there are some parking restrictions during weekday business hours a

    Impressively beautiful property
    From the moment the front door swung open this property was one wow to the next. It was immaculately presented and beautifully decorated with luxurious yet cosy rooms. My adult daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our mid week break which was made all the better with the comfy beds, warm rooms, fluffy towels and generous toiletries left by the owner. It’s location in a quiet leafy street, just one block off the Main Street of Bowral, offered many choices for eating, shopping and entertainment, though we could just as easily have eaten in in the modern and well equipped kitchen. We certainly enjoyed an afternoon wine on the outside balcony. I would not hesitate to book this property again and highly recommend it to couples or adults who like a relaxing break with a touch of luxury.

    The cottage exceeded expectations, really glad we made this choice. Top quality furnishings and fittings. Perfect location, quiet but close to everything. Great spot to relax on the front veranda with a leafy outlook. Could not imagine a better place to stay for the weekend. Helpful host. Highly recommended.
