About this property

Sherwood Cottage- 5 mins walk to town, yet lovely private position, pets welcome

Sherwood Cottage is conveniently located in the heart of Bowral, yet a private quiet street with a peaceful outlook. An ideal location for a weekend getaway or an extended short break. You have access to the entire cottage; children and pets would love the back garden to run around. The cottage stands on a flat block with only one step, so easy access for people and any older dogs.

Hello I'm John and I live with my lovely wife Cathy in Sydney. We have a delightful cottage in Bowral that we invite you to experience the magic of the Southern Highland. Our cottage is fairly basic with one double room, one room with two single beds, a TV room (which could act as a third bedroom if needed), a combined kitchen and dining room, bathroom and WC/laundry. Our cottage is a short 5 mins walk from the centre of Bowral yet enjoys a private back drop to the mittagong creek and cheery tree blossom nature walk.

We are both business professionals, travel a great deal on holiday and enjoy the company of family, friends and pets. I currently lecture at University in addition to undertaking variety of marketing advisory assignments and board roles; whilst Cathy manages a companion animal website and national rescue awards program.

We hope you enjoy our cottage.

Great position
Older style small cottage with a great back garden near to Bowral township. It had everything we needed for a short stay with family. Lovely firm beds. The back garden was brilliant for relaxing with our furry friends and enjoying the local scenery and birdlife.

Quiet, Dog Friendly Cottage in Cul De Sac Street
Small, well-priced cottage, close to the Bowral town centre. It's clean and tidy, with a secure yard that our dogs loved. The yard has a lovely outlook over the cherry blossom walk and the hill/countryside beyond. The cottage has all the amenities you require, and the level block and easy walk to the town centre are an asset.

Work stay with dogs
My stay was extremely pleasant. My only issue was the back fence. I have very little dogs. Luckily, there were some materials that I could temporarily put in place to block off their escape from the rear fence. I appreciate the stay. My dogs loved the yard!

Great location close to town and very peaceful. Perfect place to take two furry monsters, who loved the large secure yard. Will be back in future (we hope!)

About the host

Hosted by John Clay

Host profile image
Hello, we are John Clay and Cathy Beer who live in Willoughby but have loved visiting the Southern Highlands over the past 30 years. John is a lecturer in marketing and communications at University Technology Sydney, and Cathy runs the Campaign Animals rescue Awards. The Southern Highlands is a great place to relax, rewind and recharge. We hope you enjoy staying at our cottage, as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We were looking for a Southern Highlands retreat that had a private country outlook yet was a flat, easy walk into the town. Our cottage backs onto the Cherry Tree walk / Mittagong Creek and has a country feel to it. The cottage has had many improvements from the basic weather board structure, and there are still some improvements to make. It does however contain all the elements to enable visitors to enjoy their time in the Southern Highlands.

What makes this property unique

My (Johns) white picket fence that he built himself. Don't look tooo closely at the height of some of the pickets. :)
