The Secret Garden Cottage
About this cottage rental
The Secret Garden Cottage is pet friendly Kangaroo Valley accommodation now available for your holiday. Experience this luxury self contained cottage on your own 5 acres, tucked away in the beautiful Kangaroo Valley, only 2 hours from Sydney or Canberra, but a million miles from the stresses of City life. The Kangaroo Valley is a place of healing, where the morning mists and stunning views soothe your soul and refresh your spirit. Once you have visited The Secret Garden Cottage, you will never want to leave. The Cottage is surrounded by beautiful gardens, huge child friendly lawns, 3 different decks to soak up the sun, an outdoor pergola complete with a BBQ, outdoor fireplace and a pizza oven and of course, the famous Secret Garden Lookout: a stunning viewing platform, complete with a fire pit and BBQ, built into the hill for you to enjoy the incredible view over the Kangaroo Valley escarpments with a chilled glass of bubbly in hand. Did someone say romance? Accommodation The Secret Garden Cottage is perfect for a romantic break for one or two couples and easily accommodates families. The Cottage has three bedrooms: a queen bedroom downstairs and a queen bedroom and smaller double bedroom upstairs. There are 2 bathrooms, including a master bathroom with a separate shower and divine corner bath built for two. There are full laundry facilities in the outdoor laundry, including a separate shower and toilet. The beds are made up with luxury linens, pillow top mattresses and fluffy quilts to keep you toasty on cold Winter nights. There is a wooden fire place with fire wood supplied to keep you warm during Winter and plenty of fans to cool you down in Summer. The Cottage is two storeys, with a living room on each floor, so there is plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Read a book in the rocking chair in front of the fire downstairs, while the kids watch a DVD or BluRay from our extensive movie collection upstairs on the Sony flat screened TV. The kitchen is a delight for those Master Chefs - a stunning brand new kitchen was installed in March 2021, with a gas cook top, oven, grill and microwave for you to whip up some tasty treats and a dishwasher and double sink to make cleaning up easy. Alternatively, you could cook outside under the stars, with a BBQ and Pizza Oven out under the pergola. There is even a fire pit for you to build a fire and toast some marshmallows for dessert. We supply linen, candles, luxury bath products, fire wood, music Player, board games, books, DVDs, outdoor games, a kitchen stocked with cooking essentials complete with a Nespresso Coffee machine, coffee capsules and a selection of quality teas to ensure your stay is the perfect blend of romance, fun and relaxation. The namesake of the Secret Garden Cottage is the beautiful gardens, which beckon you to discover the surprises hidden around every corner, the pretty ponds, the garden seats dotted throughout the gardens set in sun-dappled light under the leafy trees and the gorgeous flowers spilling over the pathways. You have the cottage and the property for your exclusive use. You can even bring your pet! Your dog will love exploring the property and frolicking on our huge lawns. There is even a bushwalk on the property! The kids will love all the native wildlife that lives on the property, including wombats and a local family of echidnas who have made their home in the rock garden on the hill behind the house. We are family and child friendly and offer the following features to make sure both children and Mums and Dads have a fun and restful break: * Portacot and high chair supplied free of charge upon request * 5 acres of lawns, ponds and gardens to explore * Two separate living areas * Widescreen Sony TV, with DVD and BluRay player and DVD collection * Children's books and toy box * Board games and outdoor games set * Rocking horse * Dolphin Torches for wombat spotting at night * Outdoor fireplaces and a pizza oven For more photos and information, please visit our website. The Surrounding Area If you can drag yourself away from the Cottage, all this is only a short 500 metre stroll into the Kangaroo Valley Village, with its many restaurants, shops and cafes and the famous Kangaroo Valley Friendly Inn for you to choose from. Leave the car at home and stroll back to the Cottage under the millions of stars, before enjoying a nightcap in front of the fire, perhaps a candle lit bath with someone special or just sink into the comfortable beds with luxury linens for a restful sleep. The Cottage is 100 metres from the local pool, playing fields and playground. Alternatively you could take a trip to the local "beach" under the Hampden Bridge and enjoy a refreshing dip in the Kangaroo River. Kangaroo Valley is half way between the South Coast and the Southern Highlands of NSW, Australia. Kangaroo Valley is close to several national parks and beaches, with great bush walking, canoeing, mountain biking, golf and horse riding on your door step. To find out more please visit our Kangaroo Valley Attractions and Kangaroo Valley Surrounds pages on our website. Historic Berry and Bowral and beautiful beaches are only a scenic 25 minute drive away, including the dog friendly Seven Mile Beach. The marine park of Jervis Bay / Booderee National Park is 45 minutes away via Nowra, or just stay in the Valley and enjoy the multitude of activities it has to offer.

We had a lovely time. The dog loved the massive garden. Beautiful views from the top of the garden. Well equipped house and loads of space for us 5 adults. Right on the edge of the village so a 10 minute walk to all the shops, cafes and restaurants. Will come again.

As the heading suggests, the location is stunning. The land on which the property stands is beautiful and the dogs loved it, as did we. A short walk to the historic kangaroo valley village with lots of yummy cafes and boutique stores. A short drive to the coast and the nearby town of Berry, as well as some wineries and walking trails. Sadly the walking trail in kangaroo valley has fox bait at the moment so didn’t risk taking the dogs. But this was well signed. The property description itself is a little misleading in its detail. When I included the filter 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, it came up in the search. It is in fact 2.5 bathrooms with the 2nd bathroom being an outhouse which was cold, outdated and outside! So really only 1 bathroom which wasn’t what we were looking for. It also said hot tub which was in fact a spa bath although that wasn’t an issue. The kitchen wasn’t clean although I can’t fault the very clean and luxurious bed linen. It felt like sleeping on a cloud. Lovely. The bath towels, while plentiful, were small and not fluffy. In summary, the location, the land, the bed covers and the fireplace made the holiday (the company was ok too but nothing to do with the property listing!). For the price, little luxuries would have meant alot for a small investment, but mostly the cleanliness of the kitchen was expected and not delivered. We let the property owner know so the next renters could enjoy a higher standard and he was very receptive to the feedback.

We had a wonderful 3 night break at the Secret Garden. Relaxing environment for our family (inc 2 teenagers and Grandparents)
Absolutely love the outlook at the back of the house of the wonderful valley.
The firepit and BBQ setting also was fabulous even on the super cold nights.
Extremely comfortable beds also made the whole trip extremely enjoyable.
Thank you. We will be back. Xx

Incredible property
3.0
The property was excellent for our 2 dogs & they enjoyed the freedom to explore and run around. The garden was fun, a little overgrown & ponds were trouble for our retrievers, the hose was well used. Was great to sit around the fire under the stars. The house was lovely and had everything we needed, except for the smell of mould throughout, especially in the bedrooms which would stop me from rebooking this property.

The cottage and location are absolutely perfect. We loved the outside fire pit and the view from the lookout on the property is absolutely spectacular. It is impossible to stay at this cottage and not unwind, relax and rejuvenate. It was exactly what we needed.

My family (my Mum, husband, 2 girls and me) had an idylic weekend away at this lovely, quiet and cosy property.
The corner jacuzzi bath was an absolute hit - especially when three of us climbed in! Also, as someone who appreciately a hot, powerful shower - this one certainly doesnt dissappoint! The toys and dvds are a lovely touch and being able to walk to the village and all its amenities made the secret garden somewheer we'd love to return to.

Pretty average. Property does not match the photos they’re very old. Overgrown gardens unkept lawns and pathways to lookout hazardous.. wouldn’t advise children or pets here.. key box to property wasn’t secured it was already open when we arrived. Lights over bbq didn’t work. Main bedroom ceiling light and fan didn’t work. Stand alone fan was faulty.
Photos really need updating as it’s very misleading.

Beautiful
We had a gorgeous stay at the Secret Garden Cottage. A wonderful property for families, as the setup is very child-friendly and my children particularly loved exploring and playing in the lovely gardens. The little walk to the lookout up the back was easy, with a gorgeous view of the escarpment and mists. A thoroughly relaxing and refreshing stay. We would love to go back.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Secret Garden Cottage. Although El Niño made the weather less than ideal, we were still able to enjoy the garden and interact with the echidnas. And the location meant it was just a stroll into town to shop, drink and dine. All in all, a very relaxing few days.

Great place for a weekend away with friends. Comfortable, warm and cozy on the couple of rainy cold days we had, but equally bright and light when the sun shone. Has lovely gardens and outdoor space though we didn’t use this due to weather.

Loved this property inside and out! The kids say they will miss this place and the dogs enjoyed it too. Such a beautiful property to walk around in and explore. The rain held off on the first night so we enjoyed the outdoor fire pit snd the next night when it was raining it was so lovely to have the indoor fire going and the kids had a spa bath. Perfect recipe after kayaking in the rain in the morning.
Hope to come back again! Thank you Sophie and Will!
