Excellent - Exceeded our expectations
We loved staying here. The beds were super comfortable. The place has everything that we needed and is beautifully decorated. As soon as we arrived we felt relaxed and right at home. The apartment is quite spacious with a separate living and dining area, large bathroom with a second downstairs toilet and a nice outdoor space. It was so nice on arrival to find a well stocked cupboard and fridge with a complementary breakfast. We definitely recommend it and would stay here again.

Great for a family reunion or group of friends
This lovely, large home had ample space for our extended family. Carol had thought of everything including providing some staples to start us off. It was across the road from a park, well located close to Bowral Centre. Our whole family enjoyed our catch up and we would definitely rebook again in the future.

Home away from home
Unlike so many self catering places, Arborea Apartment won't leave you missing the conveniences of home, whether it is toiletries, DVDs and games to keep the children amused or kitchen utensils and condiments. Although not a walk to town, there is a park and playground across the road which my children loved.

Lovely apartment; a treat to stay here.
We loved our stay in the apartment - wish we could have stayed longer. Tasteful, homely furnishings and arrangements; immaculately clean; comfortable beds; well equipped kitchen and laundry; many, many thoughtful extras from the bottle of wine to loaves of bread, to the abundantly supplied toiletries in the bathroom. Carol was a pleasure to deal with by phone and email. Would definitely stay here again and have already Instagrammed our highlights from the lovely interior, by way of recommending it to friends.
