Casa Antica, 200m walk to Bowral Township, family friendly

I look forward to welcoming you to my property. A spacious lovely old world charm brick home, built in 1927. It has soaring 10'ft decorative ceilings, log fireplace in living room, timber floorboards throughout, modern kitchen with new appliances, oven, cooktop, microwave and traditional tiled bathroom all within 200m walk to Bowral local cafes, fashion shops and more. Golf is just a short 5minute drive to bowral golf course.

Lovely charming victorian windows and lots of sunlight.
Comfy and cosy for families and groups in winter with the log fire in the living rooms - great for toasting marshmallows (all local Service stations supply bags of wood, kindling and fire starters).
* Please be assured that prior to every guest stay the home is professionally cleaned on entry and exit and all linen is laundered.

Tom Jones Weekend
We had a great weekend in Bowral. The house is great and spacious enough for a group of friends. Easy walk into town with coffee just down the road for the early risers. Thank you.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!!
Our group had arranged a weekend away in Bowral and booked this property in hopes of a pleasant experience; however, we were greatly deceived. Despite the good location of the property in regards to the main strip of Bowral, we had faced several issues during our stay. Upon arrival, we noticed that there was an alarming number of cracks on the walls, lights weren't working in certain rooms, linen was stained, along with a stale smell, dust being rampant throughout all the rooms; all of which was not disclosed in the advertisement of the property. We understand a "1920's" property would be lived in, but again, this was not outlined in the advertisement. The cleanliness was so poor that one our group members suffered a severe allergic eczema reaction and had to seek medical attention. Although not an issue but a factor to keep in mind, the maintenance of the property was poor; unlike the photo the gardens of the property hadn't been recently cared for. Following our stay, we received a message and an extra fee of $200 from the host accusing us of leaving the property in a state with so much rubbish, which is false, as we disposed all of our rubbish in the outside bins. Along with clogging the outside toilet with wipes, to which we DID NOT use. In addition to the $200 extra fee, she has claimed she will forward a "costly" plumbing fee. If you check the previous reviews of this property, the host has a reputation of this accusatory behaviour. In saying this, DO NOT STAY HERE!!!

A great getaway from Sydney.
We thoroughly enjoyed our girls weekend away from Sydney. Staying here was very convenient and close to town which as a group gave us the flexibility we needed. It was warm, cozy and spacious. However on entry the house was a bit musty and it was lacking nice touches like milk and enough tea bags. Other than that we were happy.

Great house for a family weekend stay
Casa Antica suited our family of five well for a weekend stay in the Southern Highlands. Close to the Bowral shops & cafes, it was an excellent location. The house was very spacious and the backyard was great for the kids to play around in. Beds could have had more pillows (only 2 pillows on each queen bed) but that's just a small suggestion. It does look different to the pictures listed, but that didn't bother us, we were very comfortable and had everything we needed. The owner kindly let us have a later check out too which was greatly appreciated.

DO NOT BOOK! Appalling Stay
DO NOT STAY HERE. The house has been falsely misrepresented. I was travelling with my family and two children 5 years & 15 months. The main problem was the fridge was broken. After spending $175 on food to arrive at the property with no working fridge was challenging. The host was very quick to make excuses & told me I needed to wait 2 hours for the fridge to cool as she keeps the fridge off. Her solution was for me to go down to the petrol station and buy ice to keep my food cool. After waiting the 2 hours the fridge was still not working a handyman came to the house at 8:30pm for him to inform me I had to wait longer. I believe the host was already aware of this problem however, happily took my money at $440 a night plus for linen fee is truly appalling. Enduring this broken fridge for 2 day & having to eat out for every meal my husband and I decided to check out of the property 2 nights earlier. Tanya agreed to refund us the two nights’ at $880 once we had left she retracted this and she decided ONLY a $400 refund would be more than adequate for the inconvenience & additional food expenses. With an overall additional expense of $1500 this is far from adequate. Take this as a warning what you see if not what you get. There is NO WIFI Kitchen is extremely dirty Bathroom very old and floods Linen minimal and old Living room old couches not as pictured House smells of mould Lights broken I wish I could post photos to share...Stayz!!

Grotty and smelly
This property is not what it claims to be on the ad…. The house is very dirty- dusty, cobwebs, grime in bathroom and kitchen ( including crockery). Lack of provisions- no hairdryer, no coffee plunger, no internet, no bathroom supplies, threadbare towels. Dead plants everywhere in the garden. Would not recommend.
