About this house rental
York Cottage is a 100 yr old home that sits on 2 acres amongst gardens with lush trees and shrubs. The home is large with 5 bedrooms, 2 older style bathrooms, galley kitchen, original lounge room with fireplace, large dining room overlooking the garden. Kids can enjoy bikes to ride and discover the local bike track to Bowral. There's even a swing set to soar on! A unique experience for those who can handle an older home with old home complexity’s. Please note, this home is close to rail line. The gardens are vast, including a small orchard amongst it. Plums, apples and oranges grow. A miniature railway runs through the property which is unique and great for train buffs. You have access to the whole property except owners locked areas. There is plenty of safe parking on the property. Please contact us if there are any issues. We are available via App, text or phone. The neighborhood is country in its feel with thoroughbred horse facilities and cattle farms close by. One minute away you are in the suburb of Burradoo and the train station is close. Large beautiful properties line the streets of Burradoo, with lush greenery and landscaped gardens. Close to the Burradoo train station which can take you to Bowral, Mittagong and Moss Vale. We have just installed 2 new beds and mattresses and new curtains in Blue Room. We have a new stove and new teak benches for outdoors.

The house and garden are like something out of a children’s story - Nania or similar. Gorgeous character and the garden with tennis court and swings and beautiful trees for children to climb is magic. Our host was friendly and accomodating. Thank you. The trains are a thing - we got used to them during the day but they do sometimes go late at night and for those who want restful sleep at an early time in an evening it will be a problem. But if you love trains and are looking forward to staying up late - not likely to notice. Thank you - it served our family reunion around the stately dining table perfectly.

Our family loved the old style accommodation and the rural aspect and space of this property. We all loved the period details of the wooden doors, fireplace and the glassed in dining area looking out into that wonderful garden. We come from a generational railway family and being so close to the train line didn't impact on our stay and we all loved the small railway details. The bedrooms all had lovely linen and were all comfortable. Whilst we realise this house is 100 years old we feel it needs a good spring clean and a bit of a refresh as the carpet in the lounge room is stained and dirty, the windows looking out to the back garden need cleaning Also it would be nice to have at least some tea and coffee making facilities as the only thing in the cupboard was extremely outdated spices, sauces and very old coffee which were all well past their used by date Even though there were instructions emailed prior to checking in could I suggest a folder with the information is provided including on the use of the TV Overall we enjoyed our weekend in the highlands and found the accommodation very close to great wineries, excellent restaurants and shopping .

This historic house was private charming in many ways, and the kitchen, bathrooms and bedlinen/towels were clean. The cutlery, crockery, servingware and glassware were all lovely.
However, we also found that there were dead flies all along the window ledges, the outdoor table was too dirty to use, all the windows and doors were covered in old cobwebs, and the tablecloth was grimy. We were also disappointed by the very old pots, pans and baking trays.
Finally, we believe that the house description should be upfront that the property is right next to the railway line and that there are frequent passenger and freight trains. Aside from the noise throughout the day and night, we were very glad there were no children or pets on this trip, as there is no secure fencing between the property and the tracks.
With a little upkeep and some care and attention, the house could be a lovely retreat within an easy distance of town and wineries.
We have stayed in and around Bowral many times over several years, and this property cost more than we usually pay, but not the quality we expected.
