Each Bower has its own spectacular forest views and is completely screened by lush vegetation for absolute privacy, nestled into a landscape that will delight the senses and awaken the soul.
The contemporary minimalist architecture features floor-to-ceiling glass, and spacious balconies to ‘bring the bush in’ and frame the picture-perfect scenery. The Bowers are comfortable year-round thanks to reverse cycle air conditioning, underfloor bathroom heating, and a genuine slow-burning wood fireplace.
Best room for two for a romantic escape:
Each Bower features plush interiors, postcard-ready forest views, a full kitchen with Nespresso coffee machine, a deep, double spa bath, and a fireplace with the fire set and ready to light. Perfect for a romantic night in.
Feel totally recharged and relaxed as you wake to amazing vistas and wild Australian birdlife from your comfy king bed. Then, explore (or not) at your leisure. Linger over breakfast, traverse the glorious grounds and nearby beaches, or let the hours slip by reclining in the sun on the spacious BBQ deck.
Dining and leisure:
Enjoy a complimentary welcome breakfast hamper on arrival, then select from a wide range of dining options. There are fabulous cafes, restaurants, and eateries nearby, whether you’re planning a casual brunch or a memorable dinner for two.
Watch the skies fade from pink to deep blue as you sample modern Australian cuisine within a vibrant, poolside setting at Arlo Restaurant. Or drink in the water views and dine on French-inspired cuisine at The River at Moruya. For a more relaxed affair, head to Smokey Dan's or The Patch at Tomakin.
Special occasion? For a holiday you'll never forget, The Bower offers a special Two Brothers Hospitality option where you tailor your own private dining experience, complete with butler, in the comfort of your Bower.
Beyond the delicious dining options, the surrounding South Coast offers a wealth of holiday highlights for a short break or romantic escape. Snorkelling with seals around Barunguba aka Montague Island is a one-of-a-kind experience to share with your partner. This precious wildlife haven is home to a large fur seal colony, adorable little penguins, abundant birdlife, and much more to delight nature lovers.
Or treat yourselves to a little A-lister indulgence with a seaplane tour of the South Coast, including Montague Island, arriving at the lakeside Quarterdeck Tiki bar for lunch.
Spa & wellness:
Enjoy a relaxing pampering treatment in the privacy of your Bower or at a local day spa, whether it be a full afternoon of relaxation with your valentine, an express reset, or a solo spa journey. The Bower can recommend the perfect local masseuse or practitioner to suit your wants and needs. It’s the perfect way to cap off a short break or couple’s escape at this romantic South Coast retreat.
