Budget and convenient accommodation on the main road between Berry and Bomaderry/Nowra…read more We were staying just one night and were really just using the place as a crash pad. The beds were soft (not to my wife's liking but I didn't mind), there was a mini fridge (freezer section a bit too frozen over), soaps next to the sink and shower (hot water tap didn't work in kitchenette sink) and a good TV to keep the kids entertained (good old ABC kids). We popped in to check out the included breakfast in the morning. They had run out of bread/toast within 10 minutes (large group came and cleared them out and they had no backup bread) which left cereal, canned fruit, apples and pot coffee available. But there is maccas across the road plus lots of good cafes in Nowra and Berry if you want something better. Overall, you get what you pay for and was good enough for our needs.

Let me make it clear, the grounds are beautiful, and whilst we did not stay there, I saw the room…read morethat my Sister stayed in, and it looked comfortable enough. The plans for the wedding were well organised, the reception room was beautifully laid out, but there was absolutely no excuse for the murderous over cooking of both the pork and the beef, not when there are sous vides if you can't handle the cooking of a couple of hundred pieces of meat. At $150.00 a head, I hope my Brother asks for compensation. Dry, over cooked, inedible. The face of my Uncle, who is old school and believes you should eat what is on your plate, was absolutely classic. I have rarely seen any man look more miserable eating anything!

Links House was built in the 1920's so don't think you are going to stay in a cold, razor sharp and…read morestiff establishment. This is a grand old bird with all the charm that comes with a place of this age and it perfectly reflects spirit of Bowral itself. The mini bar is not mean on selection or price and the wine glasses, and this is a small thing I admit but important when considering the care and thought involved, are not those small thimbles on a stem you usually find but rather real wine glasses. The staff are, and I mean this absolutely, are friendly and warm without exception and nothing is too much trouble. In fact I would go so far as to say you are treated more like an old friend who is staying for the night than a paying guest at a hotel. On our first night we dined at restaurant and as well as the food being delicious the portion sizes were very generous. The lounge I mentioned earlier is a comfortable room that has soft furnishings and an open fire and fills the room with the kind of warmth only a real log fire can deliver. You are instantly at ease and I felt so at home I fell asleep on the couch. As far as we are concerned it the THE place to stay in Bowral if you are looking to relax and take it easy.

Surely this place deserves a higher rating than 1 star - being disorganised does not warrant a 4…read morestar deficit. I have stayed here twice, once in the hotel and most recently in one of the private villas (privately owned but part of the Milton Park Country House grounds). Its a short and beautiful 5min drive out from the town of Bowral (opposite the Bong Bong racecourse). The road from the grand entrance at the base of the grounds is a beauty ... windy dirt road through dense bush - enough to make a wannabe rally driver salivate at the mouth. When you get to the fork in the road, the left will take you to the private villas and the right will lead you to the hotel, spa, conference/functions room/tennis courts. The road down to the private villas felt like we fell through the rabbit hole to wonderland - the road narrowed to barely the width of the car as we drove through what appeared to be a fictional village - was ohhhh soooo pretty. The villa was mammoth in size (3bds, 3bths, a beautiful patio overlooking fields and mountains ohhh and given this is Bowral, a huge fireplace to work on our s'mores skills. The hotel itself is charming and old school and I was told the spa is really lovely - a couple of friends got themselves an hr massage each and they came back to the villas in such a relaxed state ... totally had massage envy !! The only negative I could come up with is at night, this place has zero lighting so can be quite an interesting drive back.

Hotel is lovely but totally disorganized. Made reservations for a fabulous family Christmas lunch…read morein August. Confirmed on Christmas Eve. Turn up all dressed up on Christmas lunchtime with the family to no record of our booking. After some time we were shoved into the corner as an afterthought. After 3 hours we gave up and left midway.

A great little heritage listed station. They have a small but very dedicated committee. They are…read moreall volunteers. Several times a year they have a range of events from playing host to the regular Cockatoo Run, the occasional steam train, vintage car days, spring fairs and so on. In October they have the best waratah display you will find anywhere. The grounds are always looked after and they have picnic tables for your enjoyment. They also have the Fettlers Shed Gallery which shows some pretty good art works a few times during the year. The station itself has a local history display and occasionally they have a model train display. They also have a website which should show upcoming events. The website is robertsonrailway.com.au.
