    The location suited our exploration of the Southern Highlands. It enabled us to have a celebration of our 48th wedding anniversary at a delightful local restaurant Onesta Cuccina.

As the owner of the Historic "Southdown" 1857 estate I have run the self-contained cottages since 1989. As an Interior Designer I wanted to create individual accommodation that guests will appreciate and remember. The gardens are part of that also.
