Quiet and Relaxing
We really enjoyed our two night stay here. The cottage is set in beautiful gardens which makes it pleasant and tranquil. It is well set up with plenty of outdoor chairs and space to make the most of the peace and quiet. Inside is well furnished and having two separate bathrooms is such a bonus. The cottage is a wonderful place for a break away and everything is at hand for a pleasant stay!

Just wonderful
What a lovely little cottage on a beautiful property!! Great base to visit all the villages, Exeter, Moss Vale, Bowral, etc. Fresh flowers from the garden a most thoughtful touch. Well appointed and everything you need for a great stay. Full of natural light and so peaceful. Internet was super patchy but who cares?! Log off and take the opportunity to read, recuperate and sit in the garden. Will definitely be back.

Stayed here with a friend from Western Australia in one of the coldest weeks years. Woodbury Lodge was welcoming, comfortable and sunny - making it warm and cozy.
