Delightful Hollyoak Cottage is within a kilometre of Bowrals cafes and shopping strip. It sits on the high side of the street overlooking the parklands surrounding the creek that runs through the town.
This cute cottage has been furnished comfortably and lovingly for your stay. Relax in the claw foot bath after a long day out exploring, you will be nice and cosy with the central heating in winter. In summer the front verandah is a peaceful spot for an afternoon drink taking in the greenery of the cottage garden or use the BBQ to cook up dinner. Hollyoak is ideal as a couples retreat or perhaps a home away from home if you are in the area for a few weeks.

Our standard check-in time is 3 pm and check-out time is 10 am. We offer a complimentary early check-in or late check-out time as a gesture of goodwill where booking and housekeeping schedules allow. Note that due to demand and housekeeping pressures, no early check-ins or late check-outs will be granted during the months of December and January.

Direct bookings require the booker to upload a copy of their driver’s licence and credit card through our encrypted online process.

Great communication and an overall great stay.
Had a great weekend and loved the cottage.
The house had everything you needed, with coffee and milk supplied.
Would stay again.
A really lovely cottage with some really beautiful spaces.
Sweet little cottage in a great location.
Our little dog loved staying at Hollyoak.
Thank you dear owner Jenny for your hospitality.
Hollyoak Cottage has an adorable 'old world' charm perfect for a stay in Bowral.
A homey little cottage to stay at. Very warm with central heating in main areas and bedrooms. We didn't bother using driveway as it was quite narrow for our car so just parked on the street. Check in process was very easy and it was handy to have fresh milk in the fridge upon arrival.the kitchen had everything we needed. King bed was comfortable. Good location, just a 4min drive to main street shops.
Great location, about a 1km walk from the cafes. Very close to Cherry Tree Walk if you need a stroll at some point in time. The heater is awesome for those cold days and the house warms up quickly when it is on. The driveway is a little narrow, so take care if you have a wide car
A lovely little cottage in a great spot in Bowral. Everything we needed for a long weekend with our 2 x littles ones (1 and 4). Communication was excellent including a text message during our stay to check everything was ok. Only slight issue were the very thin blinds in the spare room - we had to put blankets over the windows as was very light putting the kids to bed. Wouldn’t have been a problem with adults. Apart from that it was great and would definitely recommend! Thanks!
Wonderful space with beautiful decor located close to town.
Quaint cottage in a great location
“If you’re wanting to escape the rat race and feel like you’re visiting nanna in the Southern Highlands (as I did!) then this property is perfect. Impeccably clean, perfectly positioned, close to the main street and dog friendly. Comfortable and cosy. I loved it!”
Great little cottage for a visit to Bowral with a good walk to shops and cafes. We had one little hiccup and Highlands Holidays fixed this straight away what service!! Thank you.Moine
Lovely, cosy cottage set in a picturesque garden. Very quiet street but close to all amenities. We especially loved the conservatory off the bedroom and the vintage style dcor, which suited the period of the house perfectly. Thank you, we really enjoyed our stay and would return.Fiona
Great little home with amazing gardens. 4 min drive to town centre.
The property has a real old world charm. The property has great amenities and very clean. Its close to a great walking track and also walking distance to the main street of Bowral. This is my second visit and i brought my pet who loved the house and the backyard too. I will definately be back.
What a great find. The cottage was a home away from home. It had all the comforts, central heating great hot water and a big tub. The bed very comfortable and the conservatory was an extra bonus. I will be back.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. A very quaint cottage in easy walking distance to the shops with thoughtful touches.
The property was lovely warm and cosy. The old world charm and ambience of the place made it feel like a home away from home. I will be back!
Well managed booking. Cottage was nice, organised and clean. Perhaps wifi would have been useful for Netflix access. Very nice couple of days. Thanks
Great house, very easy walk to main road. Pet friendly front yard.
Charming cottage, very clean and warm (in July!) and great location close to central Bowral
“We appreciated the tea and coffee and other things in the pantry. Thank you. It was a very enjoyable stay.”
Great location for exploring the Southern Highlands. Cottage was comfortable with everything we needed and well suited to two adult couples. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.Anne
Enjoyed the stay in Hollyoak Cottag. It is cosy with easy access to town. Great to be able to bring to dog aswell.
Large towels were good, good location, well equipped with crockery and utensils, comfortable beds.
One of the things we liked best about Hollyoak was the beds. You can never be assured of the quality of bed you will find at your holiday accommodation. We all had two of the best nights' sleep ever. The house is well appointed with everything you need and nothing you don't. The garden is beautiful and the location perfect to use as a base for the rest of the Southern Highlands. Our dogs' access to the outside was easily accomplished and even on a windy stormy night, it was an easy thing to get them to go out via our bedroom door and, in the dark, to feel secure that they could not go any further than the back and sides of the house. A very comfortable house in which to share a warm winter weekend with friends.Janet
We loved being in 'old' Bowral and the gardens!

Lovely! we will be back!
Hollyoak is a lovely stay enjoyed by ourselves and mother in law. Good location and was especially pleased to enjoy the local wines of the area.
It was once again a pleasure to stay at Hollyoak. We enjoyed sampling the locl wine Holiday Rental Specialists so kindly provided and we will explore the wineries on our next visit. As our thanks for your hospitality and providing us with your lovely premises I have made some hand crocheted towels for use at Hollyoak. Thanks again :)
A cosy cottage, full of character and in a great location.
“A comfortable experience and it was lovely looking out the front windows at the delightful garden. My dogs enjoyed the stay too!”
Enjoyed our stay at Hollyoak Cottage. Very dog friendly and close to an excellent park and shopping facilities. Very cosy and warm house with lovely garden.Pauline
I had a wonderful stay at Hollyoak Cottage last week. The cottage was exactly as I had wanted, exactly as the description and photos showed. An original old cottage, repainted, repaired and set up with modern conveniences, but retaining the original feel of polished floors and rugs, original windows, clawfoot bathtub and modern furniture that looks appropriate for the era. And I loved all the doileys and ducks. The sheets and towels were perfectly white and new, the property was clean, the kitchen had all the crockery appliances and utensils you’d need, and the owner kindly left milk in the fridge. The gardens were well kept, pretty and looked appropriate for the house and the area is quiet. The addition of the sunroom is beautiful especially in the morning as the sun starts to come in, and the blinds mean you could block the light out if you choose. I had a wonderful stay and absolutely loved the cottage. It was beautiful, quiet, and comfortable and had a home away from home feeling. Please pass on my thanks to the owner for keeping this property as it is with a perfect blend of the feel of the original but with modern conveniences. The booking process went smoothly, and the rental staff were very helpful when I telephoned. I would definitely book again in the future.Ann
We had a lovely girls weekend! Plenty of room and a lovely property.
Enjoyable stay, wonderful large bed and relaxing bath, spacious rooms.Katie & Sam
This property was beautiful, comfortable and had everything you could need. Thank you for accommodating us at such short notice.Georgia
We loved the improvements. Like the new shower and bathroom. TV area much more comfortable, great changes! Kim
“The cottage was very cosy! I’m looking forward to coming again already.”
“Well worth the visit and our little dog enjoyed his time as well. We would certainly recommend. It’s great having little extras in the house, it felt like home. It’s also a nice and quiet street.”
