The Garden
Mature exotics from the 1900s — oaks, Atlantic and Himalayan cedars, elms and firs — layered with three decades of newer work. Quintessential English-country character that has actually grown in.
Six acres
The whole estate, from above
In the grounds
The rose garden
Beds of heritage and climbing roses.
Clipped hedges
Box and privet framing the lawns.
Wisteria arbour
A shaded walk and a fountain pond.
Silver-birch grove
A planted walk between the trees.
Orchard & citrus
Fruit and citrus by the kitchen garden.
The vegetable patch
Produce and cut flowers for the table.
15+ veteran trees
English oaks, Atlantic & Himalayan cedars.
Stables & coach house
Original outbuildings off the gravel drive.
Approached by a long gravel drive, the grounds hold the 1860s corn staddle — one of only about three known in Australia — beside the original stables. Beyond the hedges, the view runs over the horses on Vine Lodge Lane to the cattle in the southern paddock.
Tended every week by our gardening team — mowing, planting, trimming and composting, and keeping the herbs, vegetables and citrus for the table.
When to come
Spring
Tulip time and open gardens; blossom across the district.
Summer
Long light, cellar-door lunches and warm evenings in the garden.
Autumn
The famous colour — and the quietest, loveliest time to visit.
Winter
Fires, frost and Bowral's winter season; cosy and still.
