The Hidden Door Bowral Villa - the Heart of Bowral

Our architect designed Villa built for relaxation and entertaining incorporates both an Alfresco area and a beautiful garden back yard. It is both intimate and elegant having recently been fully renovated and painted both inside and outside featuring a gas fire, new air conditioning in all rooms, two new large smart TV’s, new lounges, a Master Bedroom with its’ new Super King Bed and a Second Bedroom with its’ new King Bed that can be split into Two Single Beds. Both bedrooms have their own bathrooms with heated floors and heated towel rails.

The whole spacious Villa, which looks like something out of a magazine including all of the comforts of home, is yours to escape to & enjoy.

Perfect for golfing weekends, wedding guests, girls' weekends, romantic weekends, families and business travellers etc.

We are also Pet Friendly.

Our Villa is a flat 3 minute walk to the heart of Old Bowral with its restaurants, cafés and boutiques, gorgeous parks, museums, galleries, vineyards and golf courses.

For larger groups we can offer accommodation for up to 14 people with our two Hidden Door properties and our secluded private luxury boutique home, Hall House, which is also within minutes walk to the heart of Old Bowral:
• The Hidden Door Cottage - 2 Bedrooms - Sleeps 4 - 1 Bathroom;
• The Hidden Door Villa - 2 Bedrooms - Sleeps 4 - 2 Bathrooms; and
• Hall House - 3 Bedrooms - Sleeps 6 – 2 Bathrooms and a Luxury Outdoor Spa.

The Hidden Door Cottage & Villa are both self contained and separate.

All of our properties, which are under separate listings, have been recently renovated both inside and outside. Hall House is our only property that does NOT allow pets.

We can split the King Bed in our Second Bedroom into Singles. We cannot split our Super King Bed in the Master Bedroom. Please let us know at the time of booking if you would like the King Bed split.

All beds are fitted with electric blankets for the cooler nights.

We are only a phone call away, so don't hesitate to call us if you'd like tips on where to visit, shop and dine in the Highlands. Live like a local, regardless of the length of your stay.

The Southern Highlands is a beautiful year-round destination. Stop-in-your-track colour characterises autumn; snow sometimes accompanies winter; spring dazzles with its kaleidoscope of colour; and summer warm days with low humidity. Bowral is a such a safe destination, so you can wander to your heart's content.

Our Villa is within walking distance of the train station and Bowral is serviced by taxis.

If you have your own car, there is free unlimited parking right out the front on The Hidden Door side of Bundaroo Street (and around the corner in Bendooley Street). Across the road there are some parking restrictions during weekday business hours and Saturday morning.

My son's wedding in the Southern Highlands
This Villa was the ideal size and layout. Just what we needed and the location in Bowral was awesome. We were lucky to have some lovely sunny days and some poorer weather and the unit is cool when required and cosy and warm when needed. Equipped with luxury fittings and appliances and beautiful decor. The groom and male wedding party prepared here, and had plenty of space to accommodate the extra adults comfortably.

Well located, well presented
I stayed 5 nights over the weekend of the Bowral Classic cycling event. The Hidden Door was perfect for my needs. Great location, quiet but with town main street just steps away. Well equipped and beautifully presented inside and out. I could have spent many more hours in the oversized arm chair / day bed that gets the morning sun! Comprehensive info by email from the property managers on booking. Everything great! Would happily come back here.
