About this property

Getaway from the city and retreat to our picturesque cozy farm cottage

Immerse yourself in this gorgeous Southern Highlands cottage sitting on 30 acres just a few minutes away from major wineries and towns. Enjoy the peace and serenity, stroll around the lake and visit some of our super friendly farm animals. The cottage has 1 bedroom with ensuite, open plan dining area and lounge with a full sized kitchen and wood burning fireplace. Ideally suited to a couple, a small family of 2-4 people or a few friends or a couple with a Queen bed and queen pull-out sofa bed.

The cottage has a beautiful private courtyard with outdoor lounge furniture and a fire pit to enjoy on cool evenings.

Enjoy the experience of farm life! You'll have loads of opportunities to interact with our resident sheep and chickens. The sheep love to be fed and will follow you around like a puppy dog! When the chickens are laying eggs (*seasonal egg laying) feel free to gather some up for a yummy breakfast treat. Please be cautious around the farm animals, especially with children.

Nearby towns are Mittagong (8 min drive), Bowral (15 min drive) and Berrima (5 min drive) from our farm.

Other things to note
The estate has two additional properties (Main house and barn) that we also rent to guests. During your stay the other properties may also have rental guests. We asks all guests to respect each other's privacy and be respectful of the noise levels and while utilising the shared amenities (tennis court, BBQ/ping pong area, trampoline and lake).

*** Monitored security cameras are placed in the main areas around the property near the circle drive, the managers cottage, the entrance to the guest cottage and the back drive. No security cameras are place inside any of the buildings.

Girls trip (mother daughter and doggy)
Relaxing cottage perfect for an extended weekend getaway. Cottage surrounds are easy to navigate. Fresh eggs from the chickens are a lovely breakfast treat! Very pet friendly accommodation (my dog has realised she wants to be on a farm). Hosts are a world of knowledge for great eats and adventures. Mittagong, Bowral and Berrima short drive away for food and shopping. Plenty of wineries in the area with friendly country vibes.

Farm stay
My husband and I and our little dog had a week staying in their little cottage. It was a lovely, peaceful setting! It was fun seeing the sheep and chooks and birds. I enjoyed visiting the chooks every day and collecting their eggs. The owners were friendly and helpful too! I recommend this place if you want a nice get-away from everything.

Terrific, cosy and lovely
Terrific location for a little getaway. Checking in was a little difficult as there was a mix up regarding the instructions but once that was rectified it was a lovely little homestay. Was really excited for the fireplace but we had no idea how to open the vent so we just had to look at it longingly. Bed was super comfy, good WiFi & netflix/TV options. And a very adorable view of greenery and sheep!

Absolute perfection
We loved our stay at your cottage. The atmosphere was perfect for our child-free weekend away and was just the right location for our day trip adventures. It was lovely having the fire inside to come home to and relax with a book and the footy on the telly. Thank you so much!

Perfect farm stay cottage
Thank you Sam for a beautiful stay on the farm. Our toddler absolutely loved having all the animals around. The farm managers were wonderful to deal with and very helpful. The proximity of the farm to Bowral, Mittagong and Berrima was also convenient. Not to mention all the wineries near by. Thank you and we will definitely be back!

Lovely long weekend away with the pup!
Cute and cosy little cottage on beautiful farm land with chickens, sheep, roos and horses! We took our puppy and she loved meeting the animals and taking a morning walk around the lake was just wonderful. Plenty of space for dogs. No real fenced in area but the farm manager very kindly lent us a long lead so our puppy could run around without legging it off! Sam was lovely, great host, great weekend and we'll definitely be returning with our dog!

It was a lovely weekend. The cottage was clean and tidy. It is a lovely area and the property has some great short walks in the paddocks and around the dam. Recommend it for anybody who likes birds and has a dog.

2 nights at Highlands Lake Farm Cottage
My partner, 12 year old Labrador and myself booked quite late as our plans had changed last minute and we found ourselves with two extra nights for our xmas holiday. So we had Xmas day night and Boxing day at the cottage. We had a lovely stay. We played a tennis on the retro but totally useable (for our level! lol) court and walks around the lake with our pooch. Tertini wines is close by and great to visit. The cottage itself was perfect. Clean, with everything you need for a get away. The fire would be amazing after visiting wineries all day in the Winter. We will be back to do just that.
