Woodbury Lodge is a beautiful place to stay. A gem of a house full of light and warmth with views over a wonderful garden. Anne is a kind and thoughtful host. My second visit confirmed this is an exceptional property.
A gorgeous place to stay in a beautiful garden setting. The windows all round let in so much light and we spent a lovely afternoon relaxing outside. All the attractions of the Southern Highlands are easily accessible from Woodbury Lodge.
The Lodge is light-filled, comfortable, peaceful and very private. Set in vast gardens and apart from the main house, it has everything that you need. Great beds, well-equipped kitchen and either air-conditioning or gas heating.
Woodbury lodge is a beautiful place to stay. It is full of sunlight and surrounded by an exquisite garden. A perfect place for peace and quiet. And it is extremely well appointed. Thank you Anne
We have stayed at the accommodations on 3 occasions now. The accommodation is perfect and it is situated close to amenities.
The host is marvellous and the gardens surrounding the accommodation are spectacular.
We really enjoyed our two night stay here. The cottage is set in beautiful gardens which makes it pleasant and tranquil. It is well set up with plenty of outdoor chairs and space to make the most of the peace and quiet. Inside is well furnished and having two separate bathrooms is such a bonus. The cottage is a wonderful place for a break away and everything is at hand for a pleasant stay!
Stayed here with a friend from Western Australia in one of the coldest weeks years. Woodbury Lodge was welcoming, comfortable and sunny - making it warm and cozy.
Anne was an attentive host making sure we had whatever we needed.
Overall a lovely stay and a great place to unwind.
A cosy home in the Southern Highlands which provided a great base for a short holiday.
Our lovely host Anne attended to all the requirements to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Thank you Anne.
What a lovely little cottage on a beautiful property!! Great base to visit all the villages, Exeter, Moss Vale, Bowral, etc. Fresh flowers from the garden a most thoughtful touch. Well appointed and everything you need for a great stay. Full of natural light and so peaceful. Internet was super patchy but who cares?! Log off and take the opportunity to read, recuperate and sit in the garden. Will definitely be back.

Beautiful cottage in a peaceful location yet close to local villages.
We loved our stay and will be back
The most beautiful cottage on gorgeous grounds in Exeter. Will very happily stay here again, as the set up was perfect and Anne was such a lovely host.
Really lovely little house, we felt very welcome and had everything we needed. Especially lovely to have two bathrooms for two friends who were having a midweek Mini break.
Short drives to Sutton Forrest, Moss Vale and Bundanoon, we wish we stayed a third night!
We had a lovely stay Anne was the perfect host and her garden was just beautiful. The cottage has everything and is so pretty and welcoming. Can't wait to go back. Thanks Anne
We enjoyed our stay in this lovely accommodation with lots of personal touches, comfortable beds and magnificent gardens. Anne was a terrific host. Sally and Anne, Melbourne
