Redleaf Holiday House – Nowra

Australian Traveller Magazine’s 100 Great Australian Holiday Homes

Graceful Redleaf sits proudly on top of Browns Mountain near Cambewarra, surrounded by five acres of beautifully landscaped gardens. As guests sip tea from deckchairs on the immaculately mowed lawns, or breakfast beneath the gazebo with views out over the coast and the aroma of a nearby lavender garden floating in the air, they’ll be sure to feel like royalty on their own private retreat.

An impressive 20m lap pool dominates the garden, around which resident peacocks idly wander. Inside there’s a warm country-style kitchen, a living area with sumptuous sofas, an open fire, five elegantly furnished bedrooms and three bathrooms – two en-suite and one with a claw-footed bathtub. Sleeping up to ten people and only two hours south of Sydney, Redleaf is perfect for a relaxing, rejuvenating and civilised getaway.
