Briars Country Lodge

Briars was a lovely stay. Room was exceptional and well beyond expectation, multi-level lounge below bedroom area, room facing the pond with heaps of wildlife was lovely and quiet and very private. The bed was huge like a super king!! Room was very clean and nice and warm for arrival. Nice to have a stocked minibar - don’t find that everywhere these days. Great dinner at Briars Inn just across from the lodge (make a booking as super busy on weekends). Nice fireplace beyond lodge reception area. Location is an easy drive into Bowral or to Moss Vale. Super friendly staff on reception. Will definitely stay again.

The Briars has a long-standing positive reputation in the Southern Highlands. As someone who was born in the area, it was a somewhat 'coming home' situation for me and the photos I posted online about being at the Briars were met with so many relatives and friends from the area recalling their positive memories. Check in was a breeze and our room was perfectly comfortable as a pit stop on a whirlwind tour. Being so close to the restaurant was an additional bonus as we had an incredible steak dinner that evening. It was lovely to be able to see out to the lake and enjoy the trees dressed in their stunning autumn hues. I would recommend a stay at the Briars for anyone wanting to make the most of their time in the area. It's a tiny stretch out of town to get there, but worth it for the peace and solitude.

Amazing view from every room, great service and very kind staff mainly reception and house keeping.

Comfortable and spacious room with lovely outlook from all rooms. Refreshing "retro" mini bar selection (ie. Chokitos, Clunkers - all the old favourites, etc). Good central location in the southern highlands. Older style accomodation (that could perhaps do with a bit of a refresh) but all you need for a comfortable stay. Briars Inn right next door for a great meal and drinks. Friendly reception staff. Would stay again!

Location was convenient to other towns, it was peaceful and quiet & the outlook from our room was lovely. The optional breakfast was reasonably priced & nice, with cooked options, eggs, bacon, sausages, tomatoes, mushrooms, fruit, yoghurt, toast, fruit juice, a good coffee machine, a variety of teas & some cakes available.
