A beautiful, light-filled home full of quirkiness, appealing to families or small groups of up to 6. A luxurious king-size master bedroom retreat with its own lounge area, the cosy living room with a slow combustion wood heater, a private garden that backs onto public reserve bushland and a sun-soaked courtyard, perfect for lounging around with a book in hand.
The moment you walk in the door, you will love it! From the cute and quirky knick-knacks and intriguing art collection on the walls to Betty Boop greeting you at the front door, no expenses have been spared when preparing Lovett as the perfect holiday home even down to the quality of the linen supplied.
Close enough to cafes, shops and the hustle and bustle of Mittagong township, yet far enough away to enjoy peaceful nights, this home has broad appeal to both families and small groups. Lovett is an articulately designed home with a cosy living area, perfectly positioned around the potbelly fire great for snuggling around and playing a game or two of backgammon or just enjoying a glass of local wine and a good book.
Enjoy the jovial atmosphere of the dine-in kitchen, where you can relax with the French doors wide open, listening to the birds' chirp and flutter amongst the trees. Step outside to breathe in the fresh country air and enjoy your morning coffee in the sunny courtyard, which is surrounded by mature trees.
Sunshine and warmth beam through the enclosed partial glass walkway separating the main house from the master suite, which has a beautiful outlook over the garden. The amber and green shades of the garden filter through the picture windows to complement the misty grey walls and navy and sage cushions, creating a subtle and soothing space.
The second bedroom provides a whimsical and playfully quaint vibe with trinkets, dramatic furniture and a mannequin while the smaller third bedroom is perfect for kids or singles. Each of the bedrooms has its own heating.
Lovett is ideally located within walking distance to parks and just a short 5-minute drive to feed the ducks at Lake Alexandra before tackling the surrounding nature walks. Take a drive to the top of Mount Gibraltar, affectionately known as The Gib to the locals and soak in the spectacular views of Bowral or enjoy a wine tour of the many wineries in the Southern Highlands. Bowral's boutique shopping and eateries are also just a 7- minute drive.

Very good

A cute property, deceiving from the outside, much bigger inside than expected. Comfy beds, lots of heaters and the woodfire made it perfect for us to watch DVDs and chill out. Wood fire outside a bonus. A great location, very quiet area. We loved it!
Really good facility. All important things were clean. Few things need checking on, like shower drains and bathroom sink drain. Some window locks not working , and exterior needed some work. With a little bit of tlc this is a really good property for family groups and friend groups. Very convenient location, and a quiet area.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Rat problems, fire hazards, inappropriate artwork
Good things: excellent comfortable beds, nice electric blankets, great kitchen, excellent gas heater, quiet neighbourhood, nice bathrooms
Areas of improvement: second day there, none of the kitchen down lights worked, weren't fixed until next day, of which only three of the seven worked. Also, three of the six living room down lights didn't work. Electrician and us found evidence of rats and rat poo that fell from the ceiling onto the dining table. Rats had eaten through the down lights in both rooms. Floors in the two small bedrooms were filthy and needed vacuuming and cleaning inside the wardrobes and under the wardrobe doors. Ensuite window faces onto neighbours house, neighbours can see guests going to the toilet. Too much junk furniture with "charm, character" in the master bedroom was not relaxing. Nude artworks next to child artwork in master bedroom completely inappropriate in a "family" space. Kitchen tap needs extension faucet because current taps spray everywhere. Small queen bed bedroom electric blankets connected to power board under bed, with cords under the rug is a massive fire hazard. Garage was full of junk, so only one car could be garaged.
The house was in a great location. There was an hour later check in due to extra Covid deep cleaning. However when we arrived there were cobwebs in multiple rooms and dead insects behind the blind. The back door did not close properly. Overall I was disappointed with the cleanliness and security of the property.
