Hollyoak Cottage – cosy 2-bedroom cottage

Delightful Hollyoak Cottage is within a kilometre of Bowrals cafes and shopping strip. It sits on the high side of the street overlooking the parklands surrounding the creek that runs through the town.

This cute cottage has been furnished comfortably and lovingly for your stay. Relax in the claw foot bath after a long day out exploring, you will be nice and cosy with the central heating in winter. In summer the front verandah is a peaceful spot for an afternoon drink taking in the greenery of the cottage garden or use the BBQ to cook up dinner. Hollyoak is ideal as a couples retreat or perhaps a home away from home if you are in the area for a few weeks.

Hollyoak Cottage - Bowral
We found the property to be very comfortable, well fitted out and an excellent location. From a constructive criticism point of view, we found the driveway very narrow with bushes rubbing up against the car whilst negotiating the driveway. Otherwise, a pleasant and relaxing place to stay.

misadventure
Management of this property is underwhelming. Dead insects on floor throughout household. Bath listed as feature, rusted with surface peeling and DIRTY! False advertising of amenities, Furniture had to be moved to be able to close door on bedroom. Overall tired, needing repairs, dangerous pathways - plumbing sticking up 10+cm above ground right where you get out of carport to access outdoor seating and pathway to house. Micro parasites infested guests, dealing with 30+ BITES. The owner needs to be notified of these outstanding issues. Not to be repeated or recommended.

Very tired
Whilst the property was in a wonderful position , (a short stroll to the Main Street), The property itself is very tired, all furniture and decor needs updating, I haven’t never seen so many dried arrangements anywhere other than a cemetery

Convenient but a few glitches
Booked by two elderly brothers for its proximity to Hospital where one was having hip replacement operation. The other brought a box full of DVDs so disappointed the advertised player was not there and then that there was no good lighting to read by instead. The ducted heating system took 3 nights to get working - by deleting all the schedules out of the controller. The R/C air conditioner and the two bar heaters were not adequate given there are no electric blankets. Absence of manuals for microwave, coffee machine, TV, thermostat controller also frustrating. Driveway and carport too narrow and difficult to negotiate with a medium size sedan, ended up parking in the street. Smart TV fine except no streaming services have been signed up. Some safety issues: the various steps should have fluorescent strips, the small antique lamp which we left in the dining room has faulty wiring, the TV barely fits on the table and is at risk of being knocked off. Otherwise amenities good, beds comfortable.

The dwelling was clean. Good quality sheets and all the mod cons. My two Small dogs are happy. (I haven’t let them in the front yard, the underside of the front gate wouldn’t keep them in. But my dogs are mini)

Great location and cute little cottage
The stay was homey and cosey. We did find some old banana on the bedside table and the driveway desperately needs hedging....and we have a small car!! Check in was seamless and location was nice and quiet. Very cute little nanna decore.

Average little cottage, could do with a refresh
This cottage is fine for a short stay. It has a lovely layout and the central heating is a must as without it it would be very cold most of the year, but you do get the feeling that it is a bit unloved. The magazine rack hasn’t been updated since 2019, there are old dried flowers everywhere and access to the property via the driveway is suitable for small cars only as it’s very narrow and difficult to manoeuvre. It’s not quite suitable for the elderly and yet the furnishing style seems targeted at an older age group. Overall it’s pleasant enough but pricy for what you get. It has potential but is in need of a refresh.

Very good location, cute property, may be a little too many fake flower decorations , but overall plaisant. One of the beds was on the small side, but the younger couple made do with it. We had a good family weekend.

Cosy cottage in great location
What a gem! The cottage was immaculately clean. It has central heating which made it so cosy and warm in the middle of winter. It had everything we needed in the kitchen. The location was great for walks with our dogs by the creek and it is close to town and the Bradman museum. Contact with the agent was great. We had a lovely stay. Thank you so much.

Perfect for our stay for a wedding at Bendooley Estate. Cute cottage though use of wide angle lens makes place look a lot bigger than it is. Visit from possums in the wall made for a bit of excitement in the night!

Dust filled otherwise nice
The house was lovely, full of character. But cleanliness is a negative, the house is tidy but full of dust. My partner and I, had blocked noses and itchy eyes due to the amount of dust collected within the house. The house photos are also very deceiving, the house itself is actually quite small which includes the sun room.
