The Coach House at The Rift Estate

Set in rambling heritage-listed gardens at The Rift Estate, The Coach House is an elegant, charming country retreat. Gourmet kitchen, expansive living, dining, and relaxed alfresco spaces; minutes to bushwalking trails, wineries and Bowral town.

The Coach House originally accommodated the coachman and horses for the Estate's grand late-nineteenth century Italianate mansion; it retains many original character features that reflect its rich history as part of The Rift, one of the early Bowral estates.

A gourmet kitchen awaits, and an outdoor entertaining area with bbq and deck chairs on the verandah for relaxing. More energetic guests can play croquet and badminton on the lawn, or wander down to the field for a game of cricket or football. There are gardens full of fruit, vegetables, herbs and flowers to explore. Named for the geological rift at the base of Mount Gibraltar, there are bushwalking trails and scenic paths to explore nearby.

Our guests enjoy a truly luxurious stay, with amenities including:
• Free wifi.
• Flat screen TV.
• De'Longhi coffee machine and appliances.
• Fully equipped chef’s kitchen.
• Luxury Sheridan linen and towels.
• Arctic goose down duvets.
• Three open fireplaces, heaters in all bedrooms and underfloor heating in bathrooms.
• Claw-foot bathtubs.
• Laundry with washing machine, dryer and iron.
• High chair, infant cot, games and toys for children.
• Wheelchair access to property, bedroom and ensuite.
