I have just totally renovated it so it is clean, fresh and ready for rentals. This listing suits one or two people only so ideal for couples or solo travelers. Kandos is one of those ‘Where is Kandos?’ type of towns yet is located close to a lot of attractions in the Central West and Mudgee region. Situated just to the west of the Wollemi National Park and not far from Mudgee to the east it is a great place to base yourself for day drives in the area. Check out the historic twin towns of Rylstone/Kandos, take a drive north through panoramic vistas along the Bylong Valley, explore the wine trails in the Mudgee region or head out to Gunguddy Reserve (not as affectionately known also as Dunn’s Swamp) which despite its name is a very pleasant canoeing and bushwalking area. Being a fairly artistic community there are also regular events through out the year such as outdoor cinema, music festivals, writers festivals, historic days and much more. The Bower’s Hideout is marketed towards singles or couples who want a short break and escape the city. and is an easy drive from the Sydney (3 hours) and the near by major rural cities or Bathurst ( 1 hour), Orange (1.5 hours) and Mudgee.

It has one main room which contains a kitchen, a table with two chairs, a lounge and the bed. It is good value for the money. My review ratings try to be consistent and very rarely allocate a 5\. Any that I give a 3 rating is good and am happy to stay there again. ##### Peter F.

It was great, the space is cosy and has everything you need for a short stay. An ensuite with a shower has recently been added to the hideout which is fantastic. Everything was clean and well maintained. Very convenient location if you are looking to explore the area (we walked around the town, drove to Dunns Swamp at the National Park and visited Rylestone. We would recommend this accommodation to other travellers. Thanks Shawn, it was good to meet you. ##### JON A. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Mercure Hunter Valley Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pokolbin-Hotels-Mercure-Resort-Hunter-Valley-Gardens.h1877968.Hotel-Information) > > [Adalya Elite Lara Hotel - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Antalya-Hotels-Adalya-Elite-Lara-Hotel-All-Inclusive.h13082782.Hotel-Information) > > [By The Sea Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-By-The-Sea-Port-Douglas.h3024406.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritage Trail Lodge Margaret River](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margaret-River-Hotels-Heritage-Trail-Lodge-Margaret-River.h9624427.Hotel-Information) > > [Rochester Riverside Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Rochester-Riverside-Caravan-Park.h65341713.Hotel-Information) > > [Lilianfels Resort & Spa - Blue Mountains](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Lilianfels-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h872.Hotel-Information) > > [Torquay Foreshore Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Torquay-Foreshore-Caravan-Park.h6001296.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Airlie-Beach.h2802992.Hotel-Information) > > [Mandalay Luxury Beachfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Mandalay-Luxury-Beachfront-Apartments.h2648804.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lost Camel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yulara-Hotels-The-Lost-Camel.h4805954.Hotel-Information) > > [Ozone Hotel Kangaroo Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kingscote-Hotels-Aurora-Ozone-Hotel.h2737459.Hotel-Information) > > [Hard Rock Hotel Bali](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuta-Hotels-Hard-Rock-Hotel-Bali.h526559.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Mirage-Resort.h8065.Hotel-Information) > > [The Carrington Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-The-Carrington-Hotel.h474003.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Resort Torquay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Wyndham-Resort-Torquay.h1927122.Hotel-Information) > > [Bannisters Port Stephens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soldiers-Point-Hotels-Bannisters-Port-Stephens.h27355893.Hotel-Information) > > [Exmouth Escape Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exmouth-Hotels-Exmouth-Escape-Resort.h4032424.Hotel-Information) > > [Glamping at Truffle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gretna-Hotels-Truffle-Lodge.h22239606.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Africa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Africa-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6023185-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Kangaroo Island Wilderness Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Karatta-Hotels-Kangaroo-Island-Wilderness-Retreat.h2041654.Hotel-Information) > > [Coral Sea Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Coral-Sea-Marina-Resort.h1047180.Hotel-Information) > > [Heron Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heron-Island-Hotels-Heron-Island-Resort.h1636471.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Ningaloo Reef Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coral-Bay-Hotels-Ningaloo-Reef-Resort.h4257765.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Mia-Hotels-RAC-Monkey-Mia-Dolphin-Resort.h2650828.Hotel-Information) ### Activities ---
