About this property
Quarryman Cottage @ 102
Steeped in history, this quaint, cosy, older style late 1800’s workman’s cottage was once home to the Mount Gibraltar Trachyte Quarries quarrymen, at the foot of Mt Gibraltar, Bowral, in the heart of the Southern Highlands.
This cosy Quarryman cottage is an easy 10-minute walk to the centre of Bowral’s vibrant main street shopping strip, minutes to Bowral Swimming pool and the Cherry Tree Walk.
Ideal for couples and small families.
Please note: Quarryman Cottage @ 102 is semi-detached cottage. A common wall separates you from your closest neighbours.
The Quarryman Cottage space features:
• Off street parking
• Fully fenced private backyard.
• Outdoor courtyard which overlooks the quaint back garden.
• Fully equipped kitchen with microwave, toaster, kettle, Nespresso pod coffee machine, tea, coffee, milk.
• Wi-Fi
• Cosy loungeroom with an ambient flued gas log fire and smart TV
• Laundry with washing machine, dryer, ironing board and iron
• Dining room, dining table seating 4
• Fresh linen and towels provided.
Bedroom Configuration: Two well-appointed bedrooms
• Bedroom 1: king size bed
• Bedroom 2: double bed and sofa bed which converts to a single bed
Please note: Quarryman Cottage is on the main road leading into Bowral, whilst the location is ideal for strolling into town, main road noise and trains can be heard at times from the Cottage.
Bowral and surrounds are known for its eclectic mix of boutiques, galleries, antique/vintage stores, cafés, award winning wineries, country markets, National parks & gardens, museums, and golf courses.
Mount Gibraltar Trachyte Quarries Complex is a heritage-listed former stone quarry on Mount Gibraltar, Bowral.
Follow in the footsteps of the Bowral Trachyte quarrymen, on the walk-up Cliff Street, running next to the cottage, and discover the heritage listed history, and enjoy the scenic panoramic views from the lookouts.
Six distinct quarry locations within what is now Mount Gibraltar Reserve were used consistently for the 100 years from 1886-1986 and reflect an important aspect of Bowral’s industrial history. Trachyte was used in many heritage buildings and monuments across the state, including the residence of our next-door neighbour.
Mount Gibraltar is an iconic landmark of special significance and is also the highest point between Sydney and Canberra.
