Idyllic spot, gorgeous cottage, spoiled

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The facilities were amazing - heating, kitchen goodies/treats, firm and comfy beds - the whole experience was relaxing and welcoming. Just a short drive to Bowral and surrounding areas. I would recommend and visit again.

Perfect couple retreat

Perfect place for a couple or even by yourself. Peaceful, relaxing and elegantly decorated, we thoroughly enjoyed our weekend away. The fire pit was an extra bonus as was the wine and chocolates on arrival. The owner really knows how to care for the property and their guests. We will be back.

Beautiful cottage with modern day conveniences. So relaxing. Sad to have to come back to city hussle. Peaceful and tranquil but easy trip back into Bowral. Loved the weekend and the cottage was emaculate.

A fabulous birthday weekend

This was an excellent location, an excellent property and the little touches, Like wine and chocolate on arrival just made everything even better. Despite the cold we had.a fire pit with marshmallows and watched the stars for hours. The owners live on site but we didn’t hear a peep From them (hope it was the same the other way around). Highly recommended.

The new benchmark

Wow. Everything about Alderwood Cottage was amazing. From location, parking access and the cottage itself. I am sure the cottage was purposely built for holiday rentals, it lacks absolutely nothing. The extras including a bottle of wine, breakfasts, so many kitchen spices and extras, left us leaving there after a four night stay with a conscious that we should have paid more for our stay. This property was so wonderfully presented and equiped that perfect best describes it.

Charming cottage in peaceful location - be aware of check in time and noise from water pump

The property is charming, in a tranquil rural location, beautifully presented with generous inclusions like good quality wine and chocolates, plus breakfast items. We found the check-in timing of 3.00 pm inconvenient as we had planned to quickly drop off our bags and freshen up before attending an event at nearby Milton Park at 2.00 pm. We could have paid an additional fee for an earlier check-in time but decided not to do this on top of the rental cost. Although the property is in a peaceful location our sleep was disturbed on both nights by the noise of what seemed to be a pump or filter in the water tank adjacent to the cottage, so light sleepers should be aware of this. We would not stay again for the above reasons.
