Family Wedding
For our son's wedding, we stayed with our family in the main house and my son stayed in the cottage onsite with his groomsmen. Being December, the pool was a handy spot to cool off. The house and grounds were perfect for pre- wedding photographs. Overall, we couldn't have chosen a better place. Very happy with everything.

Fabulous place
I would definitely recommend this place for bigger groups. The only thing you need to really pick up on is that two of the rooms are 'adjoining' but what they don't say is that they are adjoining with a light curtain. it would be fine with a family but it was a bit awkward with two of our couples but they got over it. Any recommendation I would make to the owner would be to fill that in and if you want it adjoining still - add a door. really lovely place though and despite the adjoining room - we would still go back there.

Long time friends
We are a group of 9 school friends who have known each other for 50 years. We get together all over Australia twice a year. Our stay at Araceli was wonderful. Beautiful property with adequate bedding for us. Warm and comfortable. Beautiful grounds as well. Highly recommend for a large group or family

Perfect property for my daughter’s pre-wedding preparations
Our family, my daughter and her bride tribe loved our 3-night stay at Arafel Park. From the beautiful and extensive gardens to the charming architecture and relaxed yet elegant country styling, it was the perfect place to get ready for and recover from a Southern Highlands wedding. Plenty of space for a large group to spread out in the house and separate cottage, as well as ample parking. At one stage we had our 6 cars plus another 6 for all the makeup artists, photographer, etc. All the amenities to make you feel at home, and great photo opportunities at every turn. We’re already trying to think of an excuse for a return visit in the near future.

Beautiful as always.
This is our 3rd year staying at Arafel House for our family catch up. Grandmother, her 3 children & their children under one roof. This makes grandma very happy and we love it here. Stunning gardens, beautiful home with plenty of bedrooms and space for the kids outside. I have absolutely no complaints and will be back again next year for our annual trip. Thank you Hayden for being so accommodating.

The perfect family holiday home
Arafel Park was an ideal setting for a family gathering in the Southern Highlands. Both the main house and cottage are beautifully characterful and provide flexible accommodation and entertaining space.

Short stay At Arafel Park
Arafel Park, is a large comfortable house with an adjoining cottage. The main house has well appointed kitchen and new bathrooms Comfortable beds and bedrooms, each with beautiful outlook to a the attractive well maintained garden. As a group we were disappointed with the cleanliness of the property and in particular the cottage which is in need of a new bath and repainting of the rooms.

Beautiful property
The property and its gardens and woods were beautiful. The house and cottage are cosy, clean and pretty well stocked. The hosts are quick to respond to messages. Also it's only a short drive to Bowral which is great too.
