A delightful place to stay

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.

Quiet and Relaxing

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!

Cosy, peaceful stay

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.

Just wonderful

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.
