Weekend away
The cottage was all that and more. The bedrooms were very comfortable and spacious. The lounge area was very cosy with the gas heather and our party of four were able to stretch out comfortably on the couch. The kitchen had all the utensils and tools for cooking. The hosts were very generous in supplying a couple of very thoughtful arrival items including a small birthday cake. We loved it and would definitely look to book again.

We had a very enjoyable holiday. The cottage was cosy and comfortable and beautifully renovated. Even though we couldn't enjoy the grounds due to the weather they looked amazing. Great location close to shops, cafes and the lake

This home away from home was the perfect destination for four siblings and their partners to enjoy whilst they attended a family wedding in the highlands. The house is simply stunning and so well appointed. Thank you for creating a place of ‘welcome’, beauty and serenity. Marianne and family

American Wedding Party
This place was the absolute cutest, most comfy location we stayed in during our journey down under. We traveled from the states to attend the wedding of a childhood friend at the book barn. This location was perfect for our two families and all the kiddos. Close to amenities and close to the venue. Recommend 100%

We were wowed from the moment we arrived. The rooms and house are much bigger and brighter the photos suggest, the kitchen and bathrooms have been beautifully renovated, thoughtful luxury finishes like underfloor heating and bonus books and games for all ages. We would have loved to stay longer.

A warm & inviting home away from home. There was nothing to fault. The home included everything we needed for a weekend with friends. Lounge was super comfy by the fire and the beds ensured a great night sleep. Will be back again.

Highlands Getaway
Ponsonby is a delightful cottage in a great location in Mittagong. Walking distance to cafes, restaurants and shops. It is very spacious and well appointed with some generous kitchen and bathroom supplies to get you started. Lovely garden to enjoy. Very comfortable for 6 adults and an infant.

Hidden Historic Gem
We chose this accommodation because of the glowing reviews from previous guests and we certainly were not disappointed. Our booking and check-in were seamless. Adam and Nat were responsive and most accommodating of our requests.The home and gardens were just beautiful! I felt like I had stepped back into a bygone era, yet we still had all the modern cons including 2 newly renovated bathrooms and kitchen.The range free eggs, wine and chocolates were a very personal touch which were appreciated. We were close to local restaurants, bakeries, cafes and pubs which was great.I highly recommend our stay at this beautiful residence and will certainly be back when it is cooler so we can have a glass of red around the fire!

Great location, old world charm
My girlfriends and I (five women in total) had a very enjoyable stay. Although the weather was wet and drizzly and we could not make use of the beautiful gardens we enjoyed our time at the house. The bedrooms, bathrooms and all amenities, linen, towels etc are top quality, overall very clean uncomfortable.

Peaceful Christmas
A wonderful house to gather the family in. We were more than happy to spend time with everyone in the lounge or the kitchen/dining. The dining table is large enough to fit everyone, and also great to play games on.

Lovely home away from home
Ponsonby is a beautifully decorated property with all the comforts of home. Check in was very easy and we loved the little touches like the wine, chocolates and free range eggs. The garden is beautiful and we enjoyed taking multiple walks around Lake Alexandra which is only a short stroll down the road. This was our second stay at Ponsonby and we are keen to visit again. Thank you Adam and Nat.

Just perfect
I cannot think of anything to improve.
It turns out that Mittagong is a lovely little town and this place is just amazing. It's an old cottage, superbly renovated and furnished with antiques. The kitchen, laundry and bathrooms are all modern and functional but the living spaces are tastefully and interestingly furnished and decorated.
Three MAMIL cyclists stayed for the Bowral Classic which was, unfortunately cancelled. We cycled around the area anyway and had a great weekend.
I would highly recommend this place as a base to explore the area.
