Links House was built in the 1920's so don't think you are going to stay in a cold, razor sharp and…read morestiff establishment. This is a grand old bird with all the charm that comes with a place of this age and it perfectly reflects spirit of Bowral itself. The mini bar is not mean on selection or price and the wine glasses, and this is a small thing I admit but important when considering the care and thought involved, are not those small thimbles on a stem you usually find but rather real wine glasses. The staff are, and I mean this absolutely, are friendly and warm without exception and nothing is too much trouble. In fact I would go so far as to say you are treated more like an old friend who is staying for the night than a paying guest at a hotel. On our first night we dined at restaurant and as well as the food being delicious the portion sizes were very generous. The lounge I mentioned earlier is a comfortable room that has soft furnishings and an open fire and fills the room with the kind of warmth only a real log fire can deliver. You are instantly at ease and I felt so at home I fell asleep on the couch. As far as we are concerned it the THE place to stay in Bowral if you are looking to relax and take it easy.

Friends chose Sylvan Glen as their wedding venue on 10th Nov 2012 (10.11.12)…read more This place is stunning - the country house was built in the 1870s and has been lovingly restored. The gardens are beautifully maintained and provided a great backdrop for the outdoor wedding. The one minor concern my friends had was in the case of rain - with the exception for the dinner reception, everything else took place outdoors. There would have been some mad scrambling if the weather didn't cooperate! Overall, a lovely wedding venue or a quiet country getaway, whatever tickles your fancy.

When you come across a little piece of heaven like Halcyon House in the Kangaroo Valley ....... you know it's the getaway for you. Only two & a half hours out of Sydney this little slice of serenity can be enjoyed and savored. It's neat, tidy and so charming with its period pieces and country comforts. Yes .... it gets cold down here in Winter time but the central heating takes care of all of that ...... you really don't need all the comfy blankets and rugs supplied. You have the Kangaroo Valley shops just meters away ..... including a Lolli shop, two fresh pie shops, a handful of cafes and a pub ...... so you are all set. It's so lovely here I was considering making an offer on this lovely hideaway.

Burrawang itself is a tiny village in the middle of Moss Vale, Robertson, Bowral & Kangaroo Valley near Fitzroy Falls so is a great position to stop for a drink & bite to eat. The pub itself is a beautiful old building with fire places & lounges for colder days & nights with massive well manicured gardens at the rear with a spectacular outlook in fine weather. The restaurant is very good with a wide variety of options at very reasonable prices with mainly locally sourced ingredients as are many of the drinks at the bar. Onsite accommodation is available but I've never stayed there so can't vouch for it either way.
