Hopewood Country House

Hopewood Country House is a beautiful grand home that's located in Bowral in the NSW Southern Highlands, approximately 100km south of Sydney. Within its 11 acres of historic, verdant gardens are the grand house and two fully self contained cottages. The estate also has a lovely giftware shop called The Potting Shed. Best of all, the two cottages at Hopewood Country House are available as accommodation - the perfect base for when you're exploring the lovely little towns that make up the southern highlands region.
Here's a peek at what the cottages and the grounds of Hopewood Country House looks like...














There are many more images of the very beautiful Hopewood Country House on the site's photo gallery and you can of course find out how to book accommodation on their site. Next time I visit the NSW Southern Highlands region I know exactly where I'll be staying!
Oh, and if you visit the site, make sure you check out the link to French and Country where you'll find some gorgeous French influenced homewares.

    How pretty! It would be a perfect getaway spot. The surroundings are as gorgeous as the interiors. You'll have to report back if and when you stay there. :)

    Positively gorgeous Lee! I'm enamoured by that fabulous Conservatory/Sun-Room as well - what a place to spend a sunny afternoon curled up with a great book.

    You're right - this is a gorgeous place with the most wonderful garden. Am looking forward to the opening of the shop in the not too distant future. Perhaps I should start saving now!

    I stayed at Hopewood last year (as we had our wedding there) and it was absolutely amazing! It has the most gorgeous, warm atmosphere and the hosts Michael and Suzie are lovely.
    Highly, highly recommend it!
    p.s- they even had a stocked fridge for us including cheeses, smoked salmon, eggs, fresh bread, juice and lots of other little luxuries.
