Yerrinbool is a Northern Village of the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia and is accessible from the Hume Highway and is about 12 km drive from nearby Mittagong. You have the luxury of being close to the train station, just over an hour from Sydney and 10 minutes to Mittagong, 15 minutes to Bowral.
You are surrounded by beautiful native bushlands at the tip of the Southern Highlands!
We would like to acknowledge the Gundungurra people, the Traditional Custodians of this land Valencia resides on. We would also like to pay our respects to the Elders both past and present and future. We would like to extend that respect to other Aboriginal people and local community members.
You are able to access the entire home throughout your stay - there are no shared spaces!
Valencia Cottage - rustic, charming, relaxing.
The cottage was once located up North of Sydney, cut in half (if you look closely around the house you will be able to see where) and driven on the back of a truck to its current location.
The previous owners owned a local nursery and planted the beautiful native gardens you see in the photos. The were also into meditation and art, thus, explaining the artist studio. The meditation room has been adapted into a cubby house for the kids to play in!
The home has recently had a 20 metre heated lap pool and hot tub installed, a brand new kitchen as well as other additional items added to the home - it's the perfect city escape. The train station is only 5 minutes from the property as well, for those without a car!
Yerrinbool is at the top of the Southern Highlands and a stone throw away from everything you could want.
- 10 minutes to Mittagong

Guest Reviews:
- "We loved our visit - it was peaceful with beautiful surrounds and the house was very well stocked." - "When booking didn’t realise the 2nd bathroom was so far from the main house and required going outside along a path to a hut outside (we had wet and cold weather) The back door was extremely difficult to open and in case of a fire could be a problem. I feel the house is far more suited to a summer stay, rather in winter. There was nowhere in town in purchase supplies or a meal. However we enjoyed our overall stay and the house was clean and well equiped."
