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.


Guest Interaction
The Coach House very private and separate from the main house. Guests are warmly welcomed on arrival, then left to relax in their own space.


The Neighbourhood
Bowral is lush, quaint and picturesque. Locals take pride in their homes and gardens, and the main street in town is full of delightful boutiques and cafes.

Wonderfull get away with friends
We had a wonderful stay at this wonderful, spacious and homely property. Our winter stay was cosy with the fire going and all of the bedrooms had heating. Our group of 10 were very comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped, the beds are very comfortable. The property is an easy 2km walk into town. This has been one of our favourite properties in the 10+ years we have been organising these trips. Bowral is stunning and there is so much to explore locally. I am sure we will be back.
