The recent reviews describe the Bower and their wonderful hosts perfectly.The cabins are gorgeous and much thought has gone into all the touches. The bush setting is a delight, a great place to just "be" and we made great use of the BBQ for brekky and dinner. Our 2 night stay was far too short, there is so much to do.....or not......we'd definitely recommend a longer stay, a week as some have experienced would be great. We can't wait to return.

You know it's time to "get away" when you don't have time to "twitter" and the normally super friendly Jack Russel slinks away when you're in the room. You're telling the kids to shut up and go to their room, and they're not even your own kids....you get the picture...
I not only needed a holiday, It had to be somewhere with the therapeutic and recuperative properties capable of resurrecting the socially dead (My wife's words)...oh and a marriage to save...no pressure!!
It was in this context that I heard about the Bower at Broulee on the magnificent South Coast of New South Wales, Australia. My wife thought it a good idea that nobody would be able to come into contact with me for a few days, so the seclusion offered by the opulent cabins, called Bowers, was perfect.
Nestled in a forest of majestic Spotted Gums was the perfect sanctuary to revive my people skills. Then, hopefully the holiday would begin. As it turned out the night we arrived was an evening of character building cold. Our very thoughtful hosts, Mark and Suzie Berry, had laid on and cranked up a log fire and we sat in the sumptuous spa watching the moon. The curmudgeon I had become of late (Think of Stephen Fry without the funny bits...) was reluctantly almost enjoying himself.

I jumped out of the spa and said to my wife, "Shhhh...here that??? She said "no!"
"Exactly" I said, That's the sound of peace and quiet......"
It wasn't to last though , because we were interrupted by the tiny strange sound of a Sugar Glider whistling past our front deck as I did one of my obsessive audits of the Milky Way to make sure nothing was missing. They are a local marsupial ...Think of a possum that has taken up hang gliding in the dark...now try getting insurance for a hobby like that!!!
We watched the apparently timid little fellow with a hand held spot light provided in all the cabins to study the abundant wildlife. The Bowers have huge tall glass windows so it feels like you are in the forest, not in a building. The inside is 5 star luxury including the white robes, slippers and Egyptian Cotton sheets.
None of the Bowers are near each other. There are excellent walks around the 100 acre property and the Berries were very helpful in answering my many questions about the wildlife.
Our hosts bent over backwards without being at all intrusive...had food brought in at our request and after 2 days according to my wife, I was ready to be presented to the world again, well maybe a small village. We extended our stay to a week and explored the gorgeous coastline and idiosyncratic Mogo...Great Zoo! Inside of which,only a week earlier, I would have made an interesting attraction in one of the more tightly secure enclosures, being poked at with a stick at by beastly children. Amazing what a few days in a perfect hideaway can do for the worst of us.

What a great place this is. In one of the best parts of Australia - the beautiful South Coast of NSW. This place is close to Batemans Bay, but the accommodation itself is so quiet and private - quite a combination. We stayed in one of the premium bowers.
The bower itself is wonderful. Everything has been designed with romance and relaxation for 2 in mind. Each bower is almost in total isolation, each is surrounded by trees. All you can see of the other occupants is some lights at night
The bathroom - there is the great spa with room enough for 2, with a big window to outside (don't worry, there's nobody around to see you!). There are even speakers in here, so you can play some music while you relax. There is also a double shower. Bathrobes and slippers are supplied!
The living room is mainly glass, so that you can always see outside. There was a plasma TV mounted on the wall so we could watch some DVDs. The TV is on a bracket and you can swing it around to either watch from the lounge, or in bed - perfect! Right in the middle of the room is an enclosed fireplace to provide both warmth and romance.
The kitchen has everything you need to cook up meals - fan forced oven, cooktop, microwave & all the pans crockery, utensils etc you should need. A great selection of breakfast foods is provided to you - bacon/eggs, croissants, cereal etc & great selection of tea and coffee.
In the bedroom is a very comfy kingsize bed.
Outside there is a great balcony, with 2 comfy sunloungers, table & chairs, and a BBQ. My *only* complaint about the place is that the BBQ isn't great, it's basically just a large hotplate, there's no grill or hood etc. Fine for cooking steak/sausages etc - just don't expect to get too gourmet.
The best part for me though was the bird feeder outside near the balcony. It attracted all sorts of great birds. There was an almost constant presence of Crimson Rosellas & a very cheeky but cute magpie. We also had rainbow lorikeets, a galah, gorgeous King Parrots & Kookaburras. If you like birds, this is an awesome place.

There's also plenty of things to do around the area - if you can wrench yourself away from your bower! Nearby Mogo Zoo is very good, and all around the area are great beaches, restaurants and more.

Overall, this is a wonderful, self contained accommodation. I would definately recommend this place to anyone.

seculded accomodation but only 5 min to beautiful quiet clean beaches...accom nicely set, clean and well stocked..the little extras like cholocales and breakfast hamper added that special touch and the viwes over the national park were excellent, especially when enjoyed by the log fire...take your wine and enjoy the peace and quiet
