Peppers Manor House is set on a beautiful Southern Highlands estate and provides an experience of life and leisure at one of Australia's grand country houses. Built in 1926, the house was originally home to the Katers, a pioneering grazing family, and has retained its original country charm. During winter, an open fire burns continually in the Great Hall and in summer meals are served in a leafy courtyard with drinks by the pool.

Wake up refreshed and enjoy the views of the estate from your elegantly appointed room or suite. The setting is tranquil, the décor charmingly luxe. Highland Queen Rooms, Highland King Rooms, Garden Wing Deluxe, Garden Wing Suites and the Elizabeth Broughton Suite (in the original master bedroom), form part of the historic home, with an adjacent Garden Wing taking full advantage of the country views.

Activities galore, the retreat offers a great range of facilities onsite to keep you busy, from tennis and lawn bowls through to fantastic walking tracks where you can enjoy a leisurely stroll around the beautiful gardens and cool off with a swim. Pamper yourself with the retreat's range of massage therapies and beauty treatments, or perhaps you’d like to relax with a good book and a glass of wine in front of the open fire.
