Excellent accomodation and location.
Studio Rouge pleasantly provided roominess, comfort and everything one could wish for in booked accommodation. It was as if the owners had just popped out and let us occupy their own new home for a few days. Spotlessly clean, excellent facilities and a lovely environment - a perfect place for a short holiday in the Bowral / Mittagong area.

An amazing place to stay
I have stayed in a lot of places in the highlands over many years and I can certainly say this has been the best. The location is perfect, so close the the Main Street and very private. A stones throw, literally, to the Cherry Tree Walk which is a must do. The cottage has everything you need and is so relaxing after a busy day. Will definitely be back.

Convenient and comfortable.
Well equipped and spotless studio with welcoming light breakfast provisions included. Bed very comfortable. Driveway is narrow and a little hard to find as unmarked. Internet a tad patchy and the bedroom could be more restful with a blockout blind. On the whole, however, a delightful stay and would definitely return.

About the host

Hosted by Maria French

Host profile image
We have been the owners for at least 19 years and have lived in this same street for 27 years.
This property was transformed by us 13 years ago when we undertook building a major extension and separate building which is Studio Rouge.
We live on site.

Why they chose this property

This property tells an interesting story about part of the history of old Bowral. We chose to buy this property to save some of that history which was being destroyed at that time. Many of the tools used by the saddler, whose wife lived here in the early 1930's and together until they passed the property on, were left behind in many of the sheds. We salvaged many of them and donated some to the Berrima Museum where they are on exhibit.
It is so conveniently located in the heart of Bowral, in a very quiet and private location.

What makes this property unique

This property offers a mix of the old and modern, featuring some sustainable elements like double glazing, extensive insulation with the living area facing north and is clad in mini orb. The Studio space is light and airy and spacious,with considerable room to move and relax.
If you step out onto Merrigang Street and head in any direction you will encounter ducks on the stream, a memorial walk which in takes you in and around the centre of Old Bowral or head up the hill and experience a challenging walk up "The Gib" through the unique vegetation and can learn more about our history on the way to the lookout.
