4 We have a proper grown up bar...with under bar fridges...loads of glasses...a pool table....dart board...fireplace...chesterfields....stereo...and again we feel the need to reiterate this point...no one has to drive!
5 Our attic space is huge and has comfy couches, a foosball table, projector and screen. It's a little kids and big kids paradise.
6 We are a 2 min walk to the pub, 5 minute walk to the local pool, and super close to the bush and some amazing bike and hiking trails, water holes and water falls.
7 We aren't surrounded by residential properties...that would be a buzz kill!

Bundanoon Village is about 200m from the Pill Factory. There is a Bottle shop, News agency, Chemist, Hairdressers, Doctors Surgery, Butcher, Bakery, Convenience store Antique and Collectables, Gift Shops and Galleries. There are also Italian,Chinese,Pub and Continental Restaurants and Coffee shops.
There are three great local cool climate vineyards within cycling distance on back roads. St Maur, Sally's Corner and Banjo's run. Go a little further down the road to Sutton Forest Wines and you can get an incredible al fresco antipasto lunch as well!
Just down the road there is also a Buddhist temple which is well worth spending some time at.

A 50th weekend to remember
We booked this place for my 50th birthday weekend and it did not disappoint. With enough rooms for friends, family and kids and a location that allowed people to walk in and out of town for coffee and brekky. The bar area and pool table was a hit. And bringing in caterers for a massive sit down dinner really created a weekend to remember. Thanks to the hosts for making everything so easy.
