About this cottage rental

The Secret Garden Cottage is pet friendly Kangaroo Valley accommodation now available for your holiday.

Experience this luxury self contained cottage on your own 5 acres, tucked away in the beautiful Kangaroo Valley, only 2 hours from Sydney or Canberra, but a million miles from the stresses of City life.

The Kangaroo Valley is a place of healing, where the morning mists and stunning views soothe your soul and refresh your spirit. Once you have visited The Secret Garden Cottage, you will never want to leave.

The Cottage is surrounded by beautiful gardens, huge child friendly lawns, 3 different decks to soak up the sun, an outdoor pergola complete with a BBQ, outdoor fireplace and a pizza oven and of course, the famous Secret Garden Lookout: a stunning viewing platform, complete with a fire pit and BBQ, built into the hill for you to enjoy the incredible view over the Kangaroo Valley escarpments with a chilled glass of bubbly in hand. Did someone say romance?


Accommodation

The Secret Garden Cottage is perfect for a romantic break for one or two couples and easily accommodates families. The Cottage has three bedrooms: a queen bedroom downstairs and a queen bedroom and smaller double bedroom upstairs. There are 2 bathrooms, including a master bathroom with a separate shower and divine corner bath built for two. There are full laundry facilities in the outdoor laundry, including a separate shower and toilet.

The beds are made up with luxury linens, pillow top mattresses and fluffy quilts to keep you toasty on cold Winter nights. There is a wooden fire place with fire wood supplied to keep you warm during Winter and plenty of fans to cool you down in Summer.

The Cottage is two storeys, with a living room on each floor, so there is plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Read a book in the rocking chair in front of the fire downstairs, while the kids watch a DVD or BluRay from our extensive movie collection upstairs on the Sony flat screened TV.

The kitchen is a delight for those Master Chefs - a stunning brand new kitchen was installed in March 2021, with a gas cook top, oven, grill and microwave for you to whip up some tasty treats and a dishwasher and double sink to make cleaning up easy. Alternatively, you could cook outside under the stars, with a BBQ and Pizza Oven out under the pergola. There is even a fire pit for you to build a fire and toast some marshmallows for dessert.

We supply linen, candles, luxury bath products, fire wood, music Player, board games, books, DVDs, outdoor games, a kitchen stocked with cooking essentials complete with a Nespresso Coffee machine, coffee capsules and a selection of quality teas to ensure your stay is the perfect blend of romance, fun and relaxation.

The namesake of the Secret Garden Cottage is the beautiful gardens, which beckon you to discover the surprises hidden around every corner, the pretty ponds, the garden seats dotted throughout the gardens set in sun-dappled light under the leafy trees and the gorgeous flowers spilling over the pathways.

You have the cottage and the property for your exclusive use. You can even bring your pet! Your dog will love exploring the property and frolicking on our huge lawns. There is even a bushwalk on the property! The kids will love all the native wildlife that lives on the property, including wombats and a local family of echidnas who have made their home in the rock garden on the hill behind the house.

We are family and child friendly and offer the following features to make sure both children and Mums and Dads have a fun and restful break:
* Portacot and high chair supplied free of charge upon request
* 5 acres of lawns, ponds and gardens to explore
* Two separate living areas
* Widescreen Sony TV, with DVD and BluRay player and DVD collection
* Children's books and toy box
* Board games and outdoor games set

The Surrounding Area

If you can drag yourself away from the Cottage, all this is only a short 500 metre stroll into the Kangaroo Valley Village, with its many restaurants, shops and cafes and the famous Kangaroo Valley Friendly Inn for you to choose from. Leave the car at home and stroll back to the Cottage under the millions of stars, before enjoying a nightcap in front of the fire, perhaps a candle lit bath with someone special or just sink into the comfortable beds with luxury linens for a restful sleep.

The Cottage is 100 metres from the local pool, playing fields and playground. Alternatively you could take a trip to the local "beach" under the Hampden Bridge and enjoy a refreshing dip in the Kangaroo River.

Kangaroo Valley is half way between the South Coast and the Southern Highlands of NSW, Australia. Kangaroo Valley is close to several national parks and beaches, with great bush walking, canoeing, mountain biking, golf and horse riding on your door step. To find out more please visit our Kangaroo Valley Attractions and Kangaroo Valley Surrounds pages on our website.

Historic Berry and Bowral and beautiful beaches are only a scenic 25 minute drive away, including the dog friendly Seven Mile Beach. The marine park of Jervis Bay / Booderee National Park is 45 minutes away via Nowra, or just stay in the Valley and enjoy the multitude of activities it has to offer.

We all loved our stay here, especially our dog and kids who loved having lots of room to explore and run around. The views from the lookout were stunning and the bush walk was great. No wombats or echidnas spotted but we did see lots of kangaroos in the neighbours field. Having the second upstairs living area was good although a shower upstairs would have made it perfect. Nice location to walk to everything. Would stay here again.

Gorgeous property, perfect for our weekend away. We couldn’t find the wifi information but didn’t need it anyway as there was plenty to do and we preferred to be offline.

Plenty of room to spread out inside and out. Great location easy walk to the village. Nice and central to explore other areas of the Southern Highlands
6 / 10Average·Jan 2025
The property needs some updating. Cracked tiles in the bathroom, couldn’t really walk through the garden which was overgrown, board games all had missing pieces which meant they were fit for the bin. There are no smoke detectors which I understand are a legal requirement.
