Great for a family reunion or group of friends
This lovely, large home had ample space for our extended family. Carol had thought of everything including providing some staples to start us off. It was across the road from a park, well located close to Bowral Centre. Our whole family enjoyed our catch up and we would definitely rebook again in the future.

Perfect Accommodation for a Large Group
Our extended family celebrated Christmas at Arborea Country Holiday House. We had a wonderful time and it was the perfect venue for a relaxing holiday, with space for everyone. The main living area had plenty of room for us all to be together but we still used the second living area that was set up with games for the children, the second dining room was used for a quiet cup of tea and even the second kitchen was utilised with all the extra Christmas cooking. Lots of platters, bowls, cutlery and glasses which is often overlooked. Comfortable beds with lovely linen and plenty of towels. Carol was so helpful and friendly and we really appreciated her sharing the beautiful space.

A well appointed and well located House to Stay in Bowral
We were pleasantly surprised with our Accomodation when we arrived. Well appointed bedrooms, Massive Dining room and very well supplied Kitchen. Carol our Hostess was ever so generous with her supply of Provisions she had left in the Fridge and cupboards for us. 6 Bedrooms. 2 kitchens. 2 Dining rooms. 4 Bathrooms and 2 Laundries. Not that we intended to use the Laundries. We highly recommend this accomodation which is 5 minutes to Town and close to Pubs and Restaurants. Thank you Carol

Great place to stay, quiet neighbourhood. This accommodation had everything required for a comfortable stay. We really appreciated the supplied breakfast. Carol was very obliging, phoned to see if everything was OK, came immediately with new batteries for the TV remote (we hadn't thought to look for them in the kitchen drawer)
