| Glendale Cottage ( circa 1890s ) is a self-contained cottage set amongst colourful cottage gardens just 5 minutes from Bowral. Your romantic country escape is nestled on 40 acres amidst rural surroundings so peaceful that the loudest noises guests might hear are the lowing of dairy cows and the chirping or carolling of abundant birdlife. Back in the early 1800s the land was originally granted to Rev. John Joseph Therry and was to be the township of 'Andrewville'. The cottage itself was originally a dairy farm and the Glenquarry Post Office from 1889 until 1956. ( The old dairy building is still standing nearby.) |  |

Glendale Cottage is a complete house that is yours during your stay and can cater for one or two couples wanting that special weekend escape. There is a shady bullnose verandah providing the perfect place to unwind and look across the rolling countryside and twinkling lake. However, the cottage's decor tends to entice guests inside where the open log fires create an ideal atmosphere for relaxing or simply snuggling up with someone you love. |
| In the lounge room there is a full stereo system for your enjoyment with CDs, and tapes provided. (There is also gas heating and electric blankets on the beds for extra warmth.) There are two queen size bedrooms decorated with romantic tulle canopies and stylish fabrics. The bedside tables display a collection of family snapshots and memorabilia of a bygone era. There is a second sitting room with an open fire place, TV, VCR, gas heating and a good selection of videos. |  |
 | A complimentary bottle of champagne is provided for guests who stay two nights. The fully equipped kitchen with microwave allows for the preparation of meals, or you may like a have a barbecue (gas) on the verandah. For those who aren't keen on cooking while on holidays, why not try the many first class restaurants in nearby Bowral or the surrounding villages. In addition to Glendale Cottage there is The Coach House, an early colonial-style cottage offering the same level of luxury and comfort and very popular with couples and honeymooners wanting something special. |
| The Coach House is comfortably appointed with Australian antiques, queen size bed, lounge and dining area, central heating, and small kitchen. Breakfast provisions - a choice of cereals, fresh bread or croissants, yoghurts, eggs, fruit, jams and preserves and a large range of Twinings teas or fresh premium plunger coffee - are provided at Glendale allowing you the luxury and freedom of enjoying breakfast at a time which best suits you. |  |
 | As guests of Glendale you are free to wander through the grounds and paddocks, look at the many beef cattle, make a fuss of the horses and Russ, Jip and "M", our friendly dogs. You might even like to pack a picnic basket and stroll down to the river or just sit on the jetty of the picturesque lake or feed the ducks. (Provision can also be made if you happen to have a horse which needs a holiday too!) Children are welcome, but please no pets. Glendale is a non smoking establishment. Glendale offers peace, seclusion and privacy in rural surroundings just minutes from Bowral and other towns and villages of the Highlands. The Cottage is always surrounded by colourful gardens, but it's in Summer when the vegetable garden becomes alive with a spectacular display of dahlia blooms - guests of Glendale never leave without a rainbow of colour to take home. We are sure you will find a holiday at Glendale very relaxing and something quite special. |
