Lifestyle

The Southern Highlands of New South Wales offers an enviable mix of rural charm and modern convenience, approximately 90 minutes south west of Sydney. Known for its rolling green hills, cool climate gardens and historic villages, the thriving region has long been a retreat for Sydneysiders and other lifestyle expats seeking fresh air, space and a slower pace of life.

While steeped in a rich history combining indigenous culture and colonial roots, today’s Southern Highlands is a vibrant hub of food, wine and culture.
From weekend markets and art galleries to boutique vineyards and award-winning restaurants, the Highlands blends tradition with a contemporary bucolic lifestyle that appeals to families, professionals and retirees alike.

People

Since European settlement in the early 19th century, the Highlands has been shaped by farming families, orchardists and graziers. More recently, the local population has diversified as tree-changers, young families and downsizers have migrated to the area. Many made the move to enjoy a stronger sense of community while remaining within an easy commute of Sydney, Wollongong and Canberra for hybrid working.
With more than 50,000 residents spread across towns such as Bowral, Mittagong, Berrima, Moss Vale, Robertson, Sutton Forest and Bundanoon, the Southern Highlands maintains its village vibe.

Homes

Known for its eclectic mix of extraordinary architecture; from heritage estates, weatherboard cottages, and Federation homes to award-winning and head-turning contemporary builds, the Highlands has a wide variety of design styles covered. Larger acreages remain popular with lifestyle buyers, hobby farmers and equestrian enthusiasts. Downsizers and first-home buyers often choose modern villas or townhouses close to village centres due to the ease of access to everyday amenities and more affordable property prices.

Transport

The Southern Highlands has direct rail links to Sydney and Canberra via the Southern Highlands Line, with stops in Moss Vale, Bowral, Mittagong, Exeter, Bundanoon, Buradoo and Penrose, making a daily or part time commute possible for city workers. The Hume Motorway also provides easy access to both Sydney and the ACT. Local bus services also connect major local towns.

Schools

Families moving to the Highlands have a wide choice of both public and private schools including highly regarded state schools, such as Bowral, Moss Vale, Mittagong, Penrose, Kangaloon and Hill Top primary schools, as well as Bowral and Moss Vale high schools. Sought after private institutions include Oxley College, Frensham, Tudor House and Chevalier College.

Shopping / Restaurants

Many of the Highlands’ boutiques and restaurants are destinations in themselves. Each town has its fair share of unique independent retailers including antique stores, fashion boutiques and homewares shops. The major hubs, such as Bowral, Mittagong and Moss Vale provide a mix of larger retailers and services.
Foodies often flock to the Highlands to experience its coveted restaurant and café scene, which boasts everything from paddock-to-plate eateries to fine dining venues and vineyard cellar doors. Seasonal food festivals and weekend markets also add to the region’s gourmet palate.

Recreational Facilities

Thanks to its picturesque setting and wide open spaces, the Highlands offers an abundance of natural wonders and recreation options in the great outdoors. There is bushwalking in Budderoo and Morton National Park, home to the famous Fitzroy Falls, cycling along scenic country roads or through Wingello State Forest and trails along Berrima River.
In town, locals and visitors take advantage of world class golf courses, tennis clubs, swimming pools and various community sporting facilities. Cultural pursuits are just as popular with the Bradman Museum and International Cricket Hall of Fame, galleries, theatres and annual festivals like Bowral’s Tulip Time Festival in Bowral each spring.
