Willow Cottage – Historic Southern Highlands Retreat with Fireplace & Patio

Willow Cottage – Historic Highlands Charm with Modern Comfort

Welcome to Willow Cottage, a one-of-a-kind retreat in the heart of the Southern Highlands. Originally built as the billiard room for Willow Grange, the grand summer house of Robert Richardson - founder of Richardson & Wrench - this beautifully preserved cottage offers a rare blend of heritage charm and contemporary comfort.

Just a short drive from both Sydney and Canberra, Willow Cottage is perfectly placed for a weekend getaway, a longer escape, or a romantic retreat. The Southern Highlands is known for its rolling green landscapes, cool climate, boutique wineries, stunning gardens, and charming villages - and from here, it’s all on your doorstep.

A Place Steeped in History
As you arrive, you’ll be greeted by the elegance of the cottage’s historic architecture, set among established gardens that invite you to slow down and breathe. Inside, the home retains its character features while offering modern touches to ensure a relaxing stay. This was once the place where guests of Willow Grange gathered to play billiards and enjoy warm summer evenings - and now, it’s ready to welcome you.

Relax Indoors
The heart of the cottage is the cozy living area, where a gas fireplace and inviting couch create the perfect spot for a glass of wine, a good book, or a long conversation. The interiors are designed to make you feel instantly at home - warm, comfortable, and peaceful.

Dine Outdoors
Step outside to the patio, where a table and chairs are set for alfresco dining. Whether it’s a leisurely breakfast in the morning sun, a picnic lunch after exploring the local villages, or a candlelit dinner under the stars, the outdoor space is a true highlight of the property.

Explore the Southern Highlands
From Willow Cottage, you’re just minutes from everything the Southern Highlands is famous for:
Bowral – boutique shopping, cafes, and the Bradman Museum.
Berrima – historic village charm, galleries, and great food.
Mittagong – antique stores and scenic walks.
Award-winning wineries and cellar doors.
Seasonal gardens, including the world-famous Tulip Time in Bowral.
If you’d prefer to stay close, the property’s own gardens offer plenty of space to wander, relax, and soak in the tranquility.

Perfect for Every Occasion
Whether you’re here for a romantic escape, a solo retreat, a weekend with friends, or simply to recharge, Willow Cottage provides the perfect setting. With its rich history, beautiful setting, and thoughtful touches, you’ll find it hard to leave.

Come and experience a slice of Southern Highlands history — and make it part of your own story.
