Sometimes when you go away, you just want to stay put. And Ardour Milton Park in Bowral is one of those places.
Just 90 minutes south of Sydney, this stunning Southern Highlands estate feels a world away from the city. Wind your way up the tree-lined drive and you’ll find rolling lawns, formal gardens and an impressive mansion that wouldn’t look out of place in a Jane Austen novel.
Fresh from a $10 million refurbishment, the property has been beautifully restored while retaining its timeless Southern Highlands charm. With just 44 guest rooms, including six suites, it has the intimacy of a boutique hotel, but with plenty of space and facilities to make a weekend of it.
There’s the indulgent Eliva Spa, swimming pool, tennis court and Pilates, plus cosy fireplaces, an elegant bar and plenty of gorgeous corners to settle into with a book or a glass of something good.
And then there’s the food! Executive Chef Mark Holland celebrates the best of the region alongside carefully chosen international ingredients, with the menus changing with the seasons. At Horderns Restaurant, think locally grown mushrooms, South Coast tuna, impressive desserts and a dedicated charcuterie and cheese room, where you can put together a picnic basket to enjoy in the gardens.
Those gardens are a destination in themselves. Spanning 34 acres, they combine lush English landscaping with distinctly French influences, from ornate fountains and courtyards to sweeping lawns and secluded spots to explore.
As the sun sets, the estate takes on another mood, with crackling fireplaces, intimate nooks and elegant spaces made for long conversations and clinking glasses.
With its blend of old-school glamour, relaxed luxury, exceptional food and beautiful gardens, Ardour Milton Park is the kind of Southern Highlands escape where you can arrive, switch off and happily never leave the gates.
