Bowral’s best kept self-catering secret, a secluded cottage surrounded by bushland, yet only two kilometres from Bowral village centre.Cooinooi at Bowral is a charming western red cedar cottage, an oasis of peace and tranquillity, set on one and three quarter acres of garden and bushland. There is wildlife in abundance, including parrots, kookaburras, bowerbirds, wild duck, possums and much more. The front of the house is shaded by vines. At the back, a huge verandah hangs over the garden. Behind the cottage, your private garden slopes away to natural bushland and to a secluded dam, an ideal spot for picnics and for watching the birdlife. You’ll feel miles from anywhere. On two sides, Cooinooi borders onto the hilly pastures and bush of the historic Wingecarribbee Farm. The property was established in the 1960s, on land subdivided from the Wingecarribbee Farm. John Oxley, explorer and surveyor, was granted land in the area in the 1820s, and the Wingecarribbee farm was established by his family in the 1850s. At Cooinooi you can feel you are in the heart of the bush. And yet you are only two kilometres from Bowral village centre.This charming cottage comfortably sleeps five. There are two queen rooms and one single. All beds have electric blankets. There is reverse cycle heating/air-conditioning. The cosy lounge room has a log fire and there is a separate dining area. The kitchen is fully equipped and there is an electric barbecue on the verandah. The bathroom has a full size bath and all linen is provided.Your hosts, Jan and Ida, have created Cooinooi with loving care, right down to the smallest details. You will find furniture from the family home, and china and glass which were treasured wedding presents more than sixty years ago. The books and games, and the collection of classic 1930s and 1940s movie star photos, are chosen from among our own favourites. We understand that the name "Cooinooi" is an Aboriginal word meaning "a pleasant view".
