The space

Thoughtfully renovated to preserve its original character, The Willows blends classic country charm with all the comforts needed for a relaxing stay.

The fully equipped kitchen includes everything you'll need to cook and entertain, along with a Nespresso coffee machine and complimentary pods to help start each morning.

Why guests will love The Willows?

Because it doesn't feel like an Airbnb.

It feels like borrowing a beautiful country home.

Wake to birdsong filtering through the trees, wander into Bowral for breakfast, spend the afternoon exploring wineries, gardens and boutiques, then return home to light the fire as the evening settles over the Highlands.

The Willows is the kind of place where life naturally slows down, conversations linger a little longer, and the best memories are often made around the fireplace or beneath the stars.
