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 and Saturday morning.

A warm welcome to a lovely cozy Cottage was appreciated, the fire was on when we arrived. Very comfy beds and the Cottage is in a great central location.
Amazing cottage- walking distance to Bowral shops , cafes , restaurants- a great pub on the corner just down the street . Greg’s communications were spot on .
Overall - very enjoyable time in the Southern Highlands
I could tell from the moment we walked into The Hidden Door Cottage, Bowral that this was a very special place.
The Cottage was just beautiful, the ultra modern air conditioner was on and we felt so welcomed and comfortable.
Our Hosts Jo & Greg have created a luxury retreat in Bowral which is only minutes away from the main street.
We loved our Bowral stay and most important, we'll be back.
Beautiful renovated cottage. Gorgeous furnishings, bedding and linen. Great location in town. Lovely lovely hosts who had turned on the heating and the lamps before we arrived and left us with some lovely bubbly. Can’t wait til we stay again.
Highly recommend. Thank you
This property is just as lovely and as comfortable as it looks and the location in central Bowral could not be better. The owner was helpful and we were made to feel very welcome.

We stayed 3 nights in the week before Christmas. We arrived on a hot day to air conditioned comfort, gorgeous decorations, and everything we could possibly need. Our poodle was welcome and that made it perfection for us. Absolutely loved the sumptuous linens, soft bds, extra throws and divine pillows to snuggle in. We loved our stay and intend to return, thank you Greg and Jo!
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.
We stayed at the Hidden Door Cottage as a winter retreat for a significant wedding anniversary. The hosts, Greg and Jo were friendly and helpful. Local knowledge was lovely to make the most of our interests - walking and photography. The links to the local restaurants was much appreciated, too.
The place was immaculate, and we loved having the cottage to ourselves. The gas fire was great to curl up near in the evenings and read books. We loved the lovely wooden ducks, and went on a mission to find some at Berrima.
It is in an ideal location for a leisurely stroll to the main street to check out the shops and walk to dinner. Would recommend.
The cottage was perfect for our weekend away in Bowral to celebrate a friend's party. Very well presented and some nice touches like the local chocolates that were provided.
We visited Bowral to attend a family wedding, this cottage was so well presented. The history of the cottage has been well preserved and it is styled impeccably. The beds are luxurious. The location is perfect, everything is in walking distance but is far enough away that you don't hear the town. If you are visiting the Southern Highlands, this stay is a must.

Absolutely loved everything about this gorgeous cottage.
My friends and I had a very relaxing time in this gorgeous cottage. We loved sitting by the fire, enjoyed the peace and quiet and loved the decor. The house was very clean, the beds were really comfortable and the linen was lovely. I highly recommend this for a girls weekend getaway and would come back next time I’m in Bowral. Thank you for sharing your beautiful little cottage
