Inspired by the 18th‑century work of architect Jacques‑François Blondel, the home blends classical European design with modern comfort, just five minutes from Bowral and Berrima. Over 1,000sqm of light‑filled interiors provide an exceptional backdrop for memorable moments. Soaring ceilings, oversized rooms, imported chandeliers, granite and marble floors create a sense of arrival, while formal living and dining spaces with combustion fireplaces invite both celebration and calm. The French‑inspired chef’s kitchen is ideal for hosting and preparation, featuring a double oven, walk‑in pantry, side‑by‑side fridge, wine fridge and generous island bench. Four oversized bedrooms, including a stunning bridal suite, luxurious bathrooms, geothermal heating and a baby grand piano complete this elegant yet welcoming home.

Privately set behind impressive 300-year-old iron carriage gates and a tree‑lined driveway, the 14 acre estate unfolds into rolling lawns, rose gardens, gated paddocks and vineyard views—perfect for pre‑wedding preparations, family events, relaxed entertaining and memorable photographs. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a covered alfresco dining area overlooking rural vistas, expansive lawns for garden games, and a freestanding pool pavilion with heated saltwater pool. Guests are invited to wander the grounds, enjoy peaceful surroundings with farm animals grazing in adjoining paddocks, and soak up the sense of seclusion that makes Chateau Bowral truly special.

All Sunday late check outs must be requested and approved prior to 5 pm on the Friday evening prior. All complimentary early check-ins or late check-outs must be confirmed in writing so that our housekeeping team are informed accordingly.

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