The Highland House

This stunning Highland home is a beautiful combination of stone, glass and timber. We are one of the few Southern Highlands homes with a pool. The Highlands House uses design features and classic styling with the large group in mind. We have an oversized entertaining room, 3 slow combustion wood heaters and reverse-cycle air conditioning. The decks give rural views over glorious gardens, dam and swimming pool. PLEASE NOTE - We are currently refurbishing. Photos will be updated when rooms/additions/appliances are finished. The Highlands House is located only a short distance from the Colo Vale exit on The Hume Motorway 90 minutes south of Sydney. We are 10 minutes to Mittagong, 15 minutes to Bowral and 20 minutes to Berrima. Gorgeous polished floorboards in the living area give the country feel. Our roaring wood fire will keep you warm while the chefs in the kitchen get into action. We have a coffee machine, butler’s pantry, double dish drawer, high-end appliances and 5-burner gas stove top with chef’s oven. The bathrooms are equally luxurious with heated towel rails and polished river pebbles on the shower floors that provide an instant grounding massage. Relax after a long day in the corner spa bath in the main bathroom. The master suite has a king bed plus large single day bed overlooking the garden, a lovely sitting area around a slow combustion woodheater and en suite . Bedroom 5 also doubles as a media room with gas fire heater, lounge suite and a large flatscreen tv. The garden is nothing short of glorious. There are various “rooms” created with hedging, arbours, and various plantings of lemons, limes, apples, pears, grapes, roses and beautiful seasonal blossoms. Be sure to walk around to the front of the house and look back at the stunning stone wall and glass feature windows. There are beautiful nooks in which to sit and read, enjoy shade in summer and warm sunlight in cooler months. There is an undercover bbq area and also a fully fenced swimming pool – perfect for summer entertainment (please be aware that Highland House has an Enviroswim freshwater swimming pool which uses a unique treatment technology, giving the water a slightly different appearance to chlorinated pools).  If you would like the pool to be heated during your stay, it can be turned on for an extra $200 as it is gas heated. If you would like to use the sauna, it can be turned on for $50. The hot tub is free to use. Outside the garden enclosure is a paddock with dam and some very curious and hungry vegetarian geese – be sure to send the scraps their way!

Very interesting artistic touches fill a very large home. The beds were exceptional and the spaces all well heated. A great house for groups and large families.

February 2018 Rachel January 2018 Beautiful spacious home! Would stay again! January 2018 Gemma January 2018 The house is beautiful and had everything we needed. We relaxed by the pool and had lovely meals and a yoga session on the back veranda! We would love to visit again some time. the full property as you wish. January 2018 Rachel December 2017 We had a great stay! The place is huge, beds are really comfy, swimming pool is fabulous and the grounds are gorgeous. Great sized house for 10 people! I would suggest it wouldn’t fit any more because the dining table only seats 10 but if you don’t mind not eating all together then ok for larger groups. There are only two bathrooms but we made it work. We will be staying again! Entire Property
