Fentons Run Southern Highlands

Quirky place which the kids (aged 2-7) loved exploring. We had a great time travelling with 3 families, plenty of space inside and out. Appreciated the fires being lit on arrival and radiators in every bedroom for those chilly highlands nights. Great hosts.

We had a wonderful time at Fentons Run. Very friendly hosts who live on the property, and have the fires lit ready for your check in, and plenty of firewood available. Huge dining table and heaps of platters and glassware for entertaining a large group. Friendly dogs came for a visit and we were allowed to interact with the horses on the property. We went without kids, but would definitely be suitable to bring them along next time. Thanks for a fun weekend away.

Great place for a friends getaway. Nice and close to Bowral and Mittagong, with plenty of local wineries close by. We were extra warm with fireplaces and in room heating too, considering the outside temperatures! And the animals close by were also a bonus!

Great location to just relax, visit wineries or other southern highland attractions. Accommodation is food for a large group.

You know accommodation is good when you're already planning a return visit before you've seen left. The girls had a lovely time here to celebrate Mother's Day, and we're keen to visit again with our extended family. The property has everything you need to switch off and relax, including indoor and outdoor fireplaces, a pizza oven, Netflix and some friendly dogs and horses. The beds were super cosy too. And Charlie was an absolute pleasure to deal with, including lighting the outdoor and indoor fires for us each afternoon. Was very appreciated!

My friend and I stayed here with our 4 kids ages 8 and 6yrs old and had a ball. The kids loved the farm and spent hours roaming around on their bikes and playing with the lovely dogs. It was such fun for them to feed the horses and visit the alpacas. Charlie is a great host, relaxed and welcoming and nothing was really a problem. For us the house had everything we needed and more. We will definitely return. The kids already miss Stuart the jack Russell and Lexie the ‘curly’ teddy bear dog. Thanks Charlie!

Great place in a lovely setting. Apart from basic but adequate bathrooms the house was perfect. Charlie was a fabulous host.

We did enjoy our stay at Fentons Run. We especially LOVED the size of the dinning table. Great for a girls weekend away...

The property was well set up for our needs. Great amount of space for groups, helpful host.

We had an extended family weekend together at Fentons run. There was lots of room to run around outside (for the kids and young at heart) and inside for when the weather turned wet, or the sun went down. As others have noted, the phone reception is almost non-existent (even though Telstra should have service there) and the wifi is highly patchy, and slow when it operates. I don't think that's the owner's fault - it's just not been served by our NBN. If you don't need things to be first class, then this place is great. There's a bar, lots of music and sound systems, and you can make all the noise you want. The beds are comfortable, and with 10 people it wasn't an issue having communal showers. There are a few shortcomings though - the power tripped out on some circuits a few times, the stove is tiny considering the place sleeps 16, and the BBQ was filthy (if we had discovered that before we went to cook breakfast on the morning we were checking out we would have said something) and if you're hoping for a farm experience for kids, you will only be able to look at a few horses and alpacas. On the other hand, my niece loved the chance to play with the dogs, so we were grateful to Charlie for letting them out for her.
