The home features a sweeping circular driveway, super high ceilings, original timber floors and large-scale windows that maximise views to the garden and Mount Gibraltar.

The gardens at Kerrisdale are rambling and include a vast range of cold climate trees that accentuate the seasons. The expansive and private garden accommodates outdoor dining and includes a large grassed area that allows for a great game of cricket or croquet and a secret garden for those looking for a quiet and magical escape under the large oak tree.
Kerrisdale offers elegant accommodation for up to 12 people all on one level. The home has been furnished for absolute comfort with quality furnishings, bedding and appliances. The house is fitted with fully ducted air conditioning to allow heating in winter and cooling in summer. A Brunner wood fire adds further ambiance and exemplary warmth to winter dining and lounging.

The home includes five/six bedrooms, two bathrooms and four separate living spaces. The formal lounge room sits adjacent to the dining room that seats up to 12 people. There is a large TV room and a salon/library that houses a collection of original paintings that date back from the 16th century through to the 20th century. You may dine outside under the magnolia tree or enjoy a coffee under the oak tree or on the verandah overlooking Mount Gibraltar.

Fantastic house in heart of Bowral
This house is amazing. Anne was very accommodating. We were 11 adult ladies and the 2 bottles of champagne and cheese platter was a beautiful surprise in the fridge on a arrival. The beds were comfortable. Rooms spacious and the new air conditioning was perfect. The Kitchen had everything you needed! Different array of glasses, from champagne, normal drinking to cocktail glasses. With 11 ladies would have been nice to have had another toilet, although there were 2 large bathrooms with 2 toilets another would have been nice. Centre of Bowral and shops was an easy 15 minute walk, a 5 minute walk to the railway station. Would definitely stay here again.

Home away from home
Our daughter’s wedding was in the southern highlands and we wanted a home for our family to stay in, for her to get ready and then for us all to be together - as if it were our own family home. This beautiful home was absolutely everything we had hoped for. It provided fabulous bedrooms with extremely comfortable beds and beautiful linen, two wonderful bathrooms stocked with necessities, a fantastic kitchen with loads of crockery, cutlery etc and a few special treats as well. We were doing the flowers for the wedding and the space was wonderful for all the prep. Two huge comfortable sitting areas, plenty of parking and super quiet. Anne was a truly wonderful, communicative and accommodating host. We will definitely stay at Kerrisdale again whenever we visit the southern highlands and will definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a large family home. Thank you Anne for sharing your beautiful home. We loved every minute.

Fantastic
The property was wonderful. I went with my daughter, 2 daughter-in-laws and 2 adult granddaughters. We loved our stay, we loved the house, we loved the garden. We cooked both nights (which was easy in the expansive kitchen) because we just wanted to enjoy the ambience of the home. A perfect weekend.

Our stay at Kerrisdale was perfect. It is a beautiful home within large grounds, spacious, perfectly styled and very comfortable. It provided all amenities and is walking distance to town and short drive to many local attractions. Communication with the host was fantastic and I would highly recommend a stay at this property.
