logo IDLE A WILE GUEST HOUSE

BUNDANOON

In the early part of this century, Bundanoon was a major tourist resort having at one stage almost 60 guesthouses.

Idle A Wile is one such guesthouse. It was owned and operated as a guesthouse by the Gifford family up until the 1950s, then by the Cornell family through to as late the 60s.

After this it ceased to operate as a guesthouse and for a time it was a block of flats.

the lobbyThe current owners have overseen the rebirth of Idle A Wile to a return of the guesthouse of the 1920s and 30s. Not as a reproduction, but as a total makeover.

Now after years of restoration it is once again open to guests.

In the past it was an escape from the heat of the humid summers of Sydney.

Today, as in the past, Bundanoon is still an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.

And for that perfect ingredient in your holiday, Idle A Wile has a magic that can help soothe and heal and at the same time invigorate.

With the intimacy of five double rooms, all with ensuites, you are assured of relaxation and comfort.

Several of the bedrooms face on to balcony settings which overlook the beautiful gardens and surrounding bushland.

There are flexible accommodation options: a warm bed; a warm bed and breakfast; to bed, breakfast, and the full evening feast.

breakfast roomOur guests can relax in front of the open fire. There are no phones or television to interrupt your peaceful escape.

Lounging around is perfectly acceptable at Idle A Wile.

There are numerous rooms and chairs just begging for people to use them.

The spacious living areas, which include a library, are yours to enjoy.

The meandering garden in a bush setting has its own brand of magic to weave on even the blackest thumb.

Or if it's grandeur you're looking for, go no further than The Morton National Park, a leisurely stroll or bike ride away.

One of the first and largest in New South Wales, its amazing escarpment views and sandstone gorges make it an attraction not to be missed.

Your getaway is closer than you think!
