Beautiful property to stay for a few days and would definitely look to come back. The care and attention to detail by the host was simply outstanding - I have stayed in major hotels around the world who could learn a few things about customer service from Garden Hill. Couldn't recommend more highly

Relaxing getaway
Amazing setting and great location for touring the local area along with Bowral, Berry and coastline to Jervis Bay. A conversation with the very friendly hosts revealed the recent loss of their permanent gardener. This, along with weather impacts, has led to the gardens and grounds being overgrown which was a disappointment to us. Hopefully this will be quickly rectified to justify its description of elegance, beauty and gracious manicured gardens.

Something out of an English Countryside Fairytale
Simply an amazing property to stay at. The owners were quite friendly and provided us with the freshly made croissants and raspberry tarts on our first morning which was a great surprise. The property is quite clean and has all the amenities necessary. It is the perfect place to escape from your busy city life and experience nature in all its beauty. Would visit again.

A lovely get-away break
It was a pleasure to spend time in such lovely peaceful surroundings. The gardens are extensive and beautiful, and we were able to enjoy them in privacy at all times of day. The indoor pool and tennis court were well used, and the cottage was a great base for exploring the Illawarra. Our hosts Nick and Rosalind went out of their way to ensure we enjoyed our stay and were wonderful hosts.

Amazing getaway
Beautiful little cottage set amongst perfectly manicured English gardens at the foot of the towering Mountains. This is an amazing getaway. The host was delightful, and always present for any issues you may have. Recommended to anyone looking for a getaway to the NSW kangaroo Valley region.

Lovely stay, better than the photos!
Garden Hill is a lovely, pretty, peaceful and comfortable accomodation that offers more than meets the eye! The cottage is spacious and comfortably provides everything one could need for a relaxing break. We enjoyed an anniversary weekend, and settled in easily to the lovely surrounds and peaceful ambience. Lovely gardens for a stroll, full size tennis court, a well provided small kitchen, and a spa bath. The hosts Rosalind and Nick are charming and easy to deal with.

An amazing way to relax and re-energise!
Magnolia cottage may look small from the outside but it has everything you could possibly need! Having visited on a very cold and windy weekend, the pot belly fireplace was perfect for keeping warm and cosy! Loved the provision of bread and eggs for breakfast and the complimentary wine and chocolate was an amazing surprise. Spoke to Belinda when we arrived as we were unsure of the check in process and she was more than helpful. Though we met Rosalind only briefly, she was super friendly and accommodating. Location is perfect if you want to explore a few places (which we did) as it is in the middle of Berry, Kangaroo Valley and Nowra. Overall we had a much needed relaxing weekend, my only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer!

Beautiful and peaceful
Thank you Rosalind and Nick for our wonderful stay at your cottage. We had the most relaxing weekend away from our busy lives. The cottage had everything that we needed for our stay and the grounds were lovely to wander around. Thank you for sharing your little piece of paradise with us. Hope to come again soon.
