Injala House - Designer Masterpiece, Exeter

Welcome to Injala House, a stunning designer masterpiece set on lush, manicured grounds in Exeter, in the heart of the NSW Southern Highlands. Architecturally striking and beautifully appointed throughout, this remarkable home sleeps 12 across 6 bedrooms, with two generous living spaces, a gourmet kitchen, private sauna, home gym, stone fire pit and sweeping countryside views beyond. The kind of stay you'll be talking about long after you leave.

The Space
Welcome to Injala House. There are properties you stay at, and then there are properties that stay with you. Injala House is firmly the latter.

Arriving at Injala, the architecture says everything before you've even stepped inside. Bold, dark and unmistakably intentional, the home sits low and purposeful against the landscape, with a sweeping concrete driveway, manicured lawns and towering eucalyptus framing the view from every angle. It's the kind of arrival that sets the tone for everything that follows.

Inside, the design is just as considered. Two distinct living spaces give your group room to breathe and spread out. The main lounge is dramatic and warm, with a statement fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the countryside like a painting, the kind of room made for a glass of red and a long conversation that goes nowhere in particular. The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen and dining. A long timber table comfortably seats the whole group, while the kitchen is equipped for anyone who takes cooking seriously - quality Miele appliances, generous bench space and beautiful timber cabinetry that brings warmth to the clean, contemporary lines. Light oak floors run throughout, tying everything together effortlessly.

Our bedding configuration is as follows:

Bedroom 1: 1x King Bed
Bedroom 2: 1x King Bed
Bedroom 3: 1x King Bed
Bedroom 4: 1x King Bed
Bedoom 5: 1x King Bed
Bedroom 6: 2x Single Beds
Beyond the living spaces, Injala has amenities that genuinely set it apart. Wind down in the private sauna after a day in the Highlands. Work it off the next morning in the dedicated home gym. And when evening comes, the stone fire pit in the gardens is exactly where you'll want to be - long nights, good conversation, and nothing but Southern Highlands sky above you. A covered pavilion provides additional outdoor entertaining space for the whole group with an outdoor kitchen for the warmer nights.

The home also features a washing machine, dedicated workspace with WiFi, multiple Smart TV and self check-in via key safe. Well-behaved small dogs are welcome with prior approval and a small additional fee.

Exeter is a Southern Highlands village that feels like something from another era. A handful of heritage buildings, a much-loved general store and a quietness that the rest of the world seems to have forgotten how to achieve. It sits midway through the Highlands, making Injala the ideal base for exploring everything the region has to offer.

The Southern Highlands wine scene is right on your doorstep. The restaurants, boutiques and farmers markets of Bowral are 25 minutes away, the waterfall walks and trails of Bundanoon just 15 minutes in the other direction, and the stunning river country of Kangaroo Valley around 30 minutes from your door. Robertson, famous for its lush green dairy country and the lookout above Fitzroy Falls, is just over the range.

The Southern Highlands rewards slow exploration. Cool-climate wineries, farm-direct produce, the historic village of Berrima - there's always something worth discovering, and it never feels rushed.

Sydney is around two hours north and Canberra just under two hours south. Injala sits right in the middle of it all, with manicured grounds and peaceful countryside waiting for you at the end of every day out.
