Highland Bliss at The Vale
Adventure in Penrose, Country NSW, NSW, AU
Anyone who's visited the Southern Highlands will understand its appeal to Sydneysiders looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Surrounded by beautiful towns, wineries, and local delicacies, I always love my time in the Highlands.
Moments from quirky Bundanoon, The Villa at the Vale Penrose is a hidden gem where animals roam freely, and every luxury is available. Of course, the real showstopper here is the outdoor hot tub has the best view in the house of the starry sky above.
Amidst rolling hills and cascading waterfalls, The Vale promises a sanctuary of tranquility and discovery. Embrace the magic of sitting beside the crackling fire with a glass of local wine, reminiscing about your adventures. With every moment, this extraordinary stay leaves a memorable mark on your adventurous spirit. Isn't it about time you spent a night under the stars?

The Southern Highlands has something for everyone; foodies, nature lovers, adventurers or people like me... a bit of everything. Whilst you're in the area, must-visits include Berry, Mittagong, Bundanoon, Exeter and a whole heap of local national parks in the area.
