Outside, the 1.5-acre property boasts two entertainment areas with rural views from the rear, where you can regularly spot kangaroos from the back deck—sometimes they even venture into the garden! Wombats are common visitors, and you might even catch a glimpse of an echidna passing through. The local birdlife is a treat, with frequent sightings of white and black cockatoos, eastern whipbirds, bower birds, rosellas, hawks, owls, and various colourful parrots. Host a BBQ on the gas grill, enjoy outdoor dining, or gather around the fire pit for some stargazing. The kids will love the basketball hoop and trampoline, while adults can relax at the bar and stay comfortable with outdoor heating or ceiling fans.

Mount Gibraltar Retreat is ideally situated on ‘The Gib’ between Bowral and Mittagong in the beautiful Southern Highlands.

Notes
Code of Conduct: Payment for the booking warrants you and all guests staying will abide by the Code of Conduct for Short Term Rental Accommodation which can be viewed under the Guest Information tab on our website or a link which will be sent to you in your booking confirmation email.

Noise at Properties: NSW Planning has passed laws that affect guests. The Code of Conduct for holiday renting can be found on our website under the Guest Information tab. In Section 2.5.2 of the STR Code of Conduct, guests have an obligation to ensure the peace and comfort of neighbours and other occupants of the premises (if strata) near holiday rental properties. This means guests have to be very mindful of noise made in or outside the property that can disrupt neighbours at any time of the day. If you or any other guest receives a warning regarding excess noise or excess guests, you may be asked to leave the property immediately with no refund of monies. Noise audible outside the property is prohibited.

Privacy: This property is a holiday rental, it is not a principal place of residence and there are no shared rooms. Enjoy your time in comfort and privacy.
Terms and Conditions: Detailed T&Cs apply for this property and payment warrants your agreement and that of all other guests staying at the property with you. Please share the T&Cs with your other guests.

Check-in and -out Times: During the busy months of December and January, the check-in time is 4 pm to facilitate peak back-to-back changeovers. Our standard check-in time is 3 pm and check-out time is 10 am. We offer a complimentary early check-in or late check-out time as a gesture of goodwill where booking and housekeeping schedules allow. Note that due to demand and housekeeping pressures, no early check-ins or late check-outs will be granted during the months of December and January. The safest way to secure an early check-in or later check-out is to book the property for an extra night. Contact us for a special rate for this extra night. All Sunday late check outs must be requested and approved prior to 5 pm on the Friday evening prior. All complimentary early check-ins or late check-outs must be confirmed in writing so that our housekeeping team are informed accordingly.

Guest Registration: Guest registration is mandatory for all bookings and replaces the need for a cash bond for short term bookings (up to 20 nights). It is essential for fraud prevention, damage claims, safety, and emergency purposes. The process varies depending on the online travel agent used. Direct bookings require the booker to upload a copy of their driver’s licence and credit card through our encrypted online process.

Additional Guests: The guest limits apply at all times during the booking. Any extra guests (this includes day visitors) above those that have been booked and paid for must be approved in writing prior to the stay. Only the guests staying at the property are permitted to be present. If you wish to have visitors in addition to booked guests, you must advise us in writing prior to your stay and ensure you receive written permission. This is not possible at all properties.

No Extras: This property is approved for accommodation only. No mattresses, tents, caravans or more cars than the property accommodates are allowed. Under no circumstances are the following activities permitted at any of our properties: motorbikes, dirt bikes, quad bikes, use of firearms or air rifles, fireworks.

EV Charging: For safety reasons and to comply with insurance requirements, guests are prohibited from charging electric vehicles at any property that does not have a dedicated EV charging station. Charging electric vehicles without proper infrastructure poses a fire hazard, and in the unfortunate event of an incident, insurance cover may be compromised, and the guest held liable. If in doubt, ask our team for the closest EV charging station.

Long Stay Discounts: Out of peak season stays of a week or more may qualify for a discount, please send us a message.

Property Information: Information during your stay can be found in the Guest Information Folder or by calling our office 24/7.

Security Deposit: For most bookings, completion of our registration process and a valid credit card with a $1000 available limit is sufficient for the security deposit. For medium-term bookings (21-40 nights) and long-term bookings (41-90 nights), a non-negotiable cash security deposit is required. This deposit, held in our Trust Account, is refunded after the departure inspection, with any damage or loss deducted. The minimum cash deposit is $2000, with higher amounts for larger or more expensive properties, or at the owner’s/agent’s discretion.

Peace of Mind: For your added security, this property is managed by a Licensed Real Estate Agent. We will never request payments be made to an overseas bank account and your money is held safely in our Trust Account until after your departure.

List with Us: If we had more properties in our management portfolio, we could easily get them booked. Demand is high and supply just can’t keep up. Send us a message or call us if you would like to know more about the packages we offer for short term rental management.

Gillian G
Highly recommended!
January 2025

A wonderful stay with friends at Mount Gibraltar Retreat! We spent a relaxing week here over the summer holidays. It’s a fantastically well-appointed, clean, and comfortable house surrounded by nature. We had much fun playing pool, on the trampoline, and visiting local farms (mini donkeys!!!) and at school holiday adventure camps. In the mornings and evenings it was so nice to sit out on the deck and watch the rosellas and kangaroos. The beds are super comfy, and the kitchen has everything you need. We whipped up some lovely dinners and also ate at the nearby restaurants in Mittagong (a chef-hatted Thai!). Would highly recommend, and we will definitely return to this aptly named “Mount Gibraltar Retreat.”

Would definitely stay again.

Our stay at Mount Gibraltar Retreat over Christmas was delightful. A quiet, secluded spot with ample indoor and outdoor space. Perfect for our family of 5 with plenty of room to spare. Timely communication, sloped outdoor space with a trampoline, and covered outdoor seats. Comfy areas inside, including a study, kids book nook, pool table room, and combined family space. The kitchen was well equipped with modern facilities. Space was clean and tidy. We also loved the animals that would visit in the morning. Short drive to Bowral or Mittagong.
