Following is the wonderful review we received from a very happy guest:
Connoisseur's Cottage
The Connoisseur "Sandstone" Cottage is a love affair between the Arts and English heritage. The dwelling features an indoor wood fire place, master bedroom, shower amenities, indoor plus outdoor dining, veranda with a garden patch that have various herbs such parsley, coriander, mint, and thyme. In addition to the above luxury amenities the stay included an outdoor wood fire "sandstone" oven.
As my wife and I sat outdoors during breakfast we can we see the transition from the dwelling to the lake and were taken away by the hills in the backdrop. There afterwards, we played a sporting game of tennis then took a wonder around the garden and the lake. Later the evening we would relax by the indoor pool, which can be used throughout the year. In addition to the above, we learnt the site will feature a playground for Croquet, which is a gentleman's/woman's game.
The Garden Spa is also within proximity via vehicle to Queen Street in Berry, which has diverse restaurants and cafes plus much needed body message services in the area. Berry has a local history of both English convicts and Aboriginal settlement so check out the local museum (Free entry).
My wife and I travel quite a lot and we rarely give 5/5 but this place is an exception. Overall, we loved it and look forward to coming back!

Summary: Garden Hill Retreat is truly the hidden gem with magnificent and magical gardens and a wonderful well-appointed sandstone cottage with a wood-burning stove. The cottage is serene and sublime. It overlooks the beautiful veggie garden, rose garden, Mediterranean garden and lotus pond. There are wonderful features: croquet lawn, tennis courts and an indoor swimming pool to enjoy. There are amazing birds twittering in the camellia hedges and rose bushes. You can see Mama Duck waddling down the lotus pond with her ducklings watched over by Papa Drake. The whole 20-acre property is embraced by stunning magnolias, jacarandas, maples, eucalyptuses, Norfolk pines, Pin oaks, Bunya pines and even the oldest species: gingko trees! It is indeed a privilege that Nicholas and Rosalind the gracious and hospitable hosts are immensely generous and kind to make my stay such a memorable experience! I would highly recommend that you stay at this magnificent property at the foot of beautiful Cambewarra Mountain, close to Jervis Bay, Berry, Bowral and Kangaroo Valley.

Summary: A beautiful cottage. We had horrendous weather (during the NSW floods) and were kind of “forced to wind down” in the circumstances. Very comfortable and cosy fire, perfect to catch up on a few books. Friendly hosts, lovely gardens. Highly recommend.

Summary: On the wettest weekend of the year Nick and Rosalind offered a warm and hospitable welcome to their cosy and well-appointed sandstone cottage. It was the perfect location to explore the stunning Kangaroo Valley region and retreat to home-cooked, fireside meals. We would not hesitate to recommend this beautiful weekend retreat. Thank you - Elizabeth & Liam

Summary: My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at Garden Hill for our secret elopement. Rosalind and Nicholas were beyond welcoming, providing a basket of goodies on our arrival, and excitedly helped us prepare for our marriage. They went above and beyond as hosts to make our day extra special. We felt so much support balanced with being given the space to enjoy our day in secrecy. The property is beautiful, albeit less private than we expected - but the hosts were respectful and gracious at all times. There was some renovating happening on the property that we were not aware of ahead of time, but this did not affect our stay or ceremony. We will always cherish the memories we made at Garden Hill. Thank you again Rosalind and Nicholas!

Nicholas & Rosalind are incredible hosts, welcoming, friendly, informative and very generous. We stayed over christmas and they shared their christmas cake with us :) We felt very spoiled during our stay The accommodation is luxurious and extremely comfortable, this place has everything that you could possibly need or want. The garden was AMAZING - sitting in the garden left us feeling so relaxed and rejuvenated, we highly recommend this place for anyone looking to stay in a super comfortable and calming environment. The location is also very convenient, we could spend the day at the beach and the evenings relaxing in a garden paradise.Our overall experience was 10/10 and we would love to come and stay again in the future. Thank you Nikolas & Rosalind for making us feel special!
