Character and identity

Two hours from Sydney, Osborn House sits on a manicured estate of cream and duck-egg blue buildings ringed by towering pines, with the feel of an English country plot transplanted to the Southern Highlands. Linda Boronkay (formerly of Soho House) has layered the interiors with clubby, mismatched furniture, clashing prints, squiggle benches and bric-a-brac from local makers. The 22 rooms split between the main house and timber-clad cabins; dining runs from casual all-day fare at Georges to the powder-blue Dinah's and Segundo Farrell's theatrical fire feasts. Service is laid-back Australian: friendly, professional, unfussed.

Who's it for

Best for:
Design-literate couples, mother-daughter spa weekenders and cool-kid 30-somethings looking for a stylish country bolthole within easy driving distance of Sydney or Canberra. The fire feasts, backgammon-and-rosé pace, and Boronkay's playful interiors reward guests who care about food, atmosphere and a thought-through aesthetic.

Should look elsewhere:
Families with young kids (only 12+ are welcome), travellers wanting in-room dining (there isn't any, despite the cabin fireplaces), or anyone after a full-scale destination spa. The eco programme is thin, and the privacy hedging at cabins 6 and 7 is still growing in.

Bottom line

The draw here is atmosphere and cooking: Boronkay's interiors and Farrell's fire-cooking give the Southern Highlands something it genuinely lacked, a country hotel with contemporary point of view. Book a cabin for the outdoor tub and bush views (time the bath for dusk and the kangaroos), or a garden terrace suite if you're travelling as a pair of couples. Go on a Saturday when the fire feast is running.
