Wonderful time
The accommodation was better than the pictures give it credit for. The surrounding golf course provided a lovely landscape for activités and of course golf. The facilities easily accounted for larger groups.

Amazing property!
I loved staying at the Scribbly Cottage, especially considering I was able to bring my doggo. Matt was very responsive and accommodating. We admittedly have a loud group and had to pipe down as we found out there was a wedding reception on the estate that got wind of our shenanigans. I felt it was dealt with correctly - just something to keep in mind when you're after a spot in the middle of nowhere to be as loud as you wish ;) The only thing we missed was a shared shower for the bunk bed room, but again - easy solve. Thanks Matt, we had a great time!

Host was very accommodating and responsive to all questions. Provided clear instructions on how to get to Penrose. The place was amazing, clean and spacious. We had a large group of children and adults who thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Close to Glow Worm Glen Walk. Would totally recommend this place to anyone.

Peaceful and relaxing
We chose Sylvan Glen Cosy Cottage for our annual extended family weekend away and had a fantastic time exploring the property and its surrounds. House was great and 'cosy'...! Outside firepit also a big hit, as was the golf course and table tennis. Pizza oven was well used and served (fortunately) as a second oven as we hadn't realised the BBQ did not have a hood to do our roasts! Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay - enough space and things to do for all ages, set amongst tranquil surrounds, ideal for large groups wanting to enjoy a country escape. Thanks Matt for answering all our questions and ensuring we were comfortable.

Beautiful property with an incredible host
Such a beautiful property with a fantastic host who was so responsive and helpful throughout the whole process, even with responding to a number of my questions in the lead up. A great place with lots of room and perfect for a get together. The only tricky thing was it was hard to get find but I think that was just because the gps took some people strange ways. Thanks again Matt for all your help. Highly recommend you and your properties at Sylvan Glen.

Family Gathering
This was the best place to stay. Close to Sydney, excellent roomy accommodation, with enough bathrooms to make everyone happy. The living areas made it possible to still have an enjoyable time regardless of the wet weather. The nearby golf course was a real plus for our family, as the serious golfers had a game and the rest of us had a pretend! The fire pit, bbq area and cubby house were fabulous! No need to leave t Sylvan Glen. But nearby Bundanoon, Exeter, and Berrima and Bowral had visits too! Great place ….we want to come back!
