Oatley Cottage, Alpine, Southern Highlands

Oatley Cottage, Alpine, Southern Highlands - 4pm check out Sundays and Public Holidays, except Summer Season

Oatley Cottage was originally built in 1910 in the Sydney suburb of Oatley. It was transported to Little Forrest in 2009 and lovingly restored. The cottage has a wonderful homely feel to it and is a wonderful retreat to come home to after a day exploring the Southern Highlands.

Where will I be?

Oatley Cottage is located within the Little Forest complex, a collection of 7 cottages spread across 40 acres of grounds. Your cottage will have its own private spaces, but please be aware that other guests may be around as well. Communal spaces include the lawns, gardens, driveway and trails, but you will have plenty of privacy as well. The Little Forest complex has a bush setting and is circled on one side by the Sydney - Melbourne railway line. As a result, trains are audible at times, and for any kids, part of the fun! Little Forest also has various throughout its 42 acres, but please keep children supervised at all times due to wildlife, unfenced dams and trains.

How is the property laid out?

Oatley Cottage is reached down a tree-lined country drive way. You approach the house through beautiful gardens and enter into a charming country kitchen and dining area.

Lovely cottage - clean and super warm fire!
Lovely cute cottage with everything you need in the kitchen and awesome selection of movies to watch cosied to the fireplace (that was all setup ready to just light when we arrived). Plenty of wood for a few days. Nice little drive to Bowral and Mittagong with their great food and thousands of antique shops! The biggest challenge was with no wifi we were stuck relying on 2 bars of intermittent 3G reception from Telstra. Made it really hard to get the small amount of work I needed todo whilst away. If your looking for a digital detox, then this is the place for you.

So very peaceful
This property was the perfect location for a short break. It was so peaceful and private and felt like home. The description was all correct but the grounds are more beautiful than the photos. Our little Cavoodle absolutely loved the space that he had to run around and explore- all safe and fully fenced . Bowral, Mittagong, Berrima and other beautiful towns are easy driving distance. This was the perfect location to use as a base for exploring the gorgeous Southern Highlands.
