Iona Park, Moss Vale, Southern Highlands

Iona Park, Moss Vale, Southern Highlands - 4pm check out Sundays and Public Holidays, except Summer Season

Iona Park is a large and majestic country home set on a 100 acre working horse and cattle farm. The property delivers a blend of formal yet comfortable rural living, and the house is large enough to effortlessly accommodate up to 22 guests (4 on sofa beds). A swimming pool, two world-class clay tennis courts, and lovely lawns and gardens round out a perfect Southern Highlands getaway!

Coaching with or playing against John Alexander
For tennis enthusiasts, there is an option to have private tennis coaching by John Alexander (JA), Australia’s former top ranked tennis player and Davis Cup champion. Whether you are beginners or very experienced players, JA can tailor a program that will have your group playing like pros in no time! Our bookings team can give you more information about this!

The property has two clay courts that have been developed by JA. One is a finely graded crushed basalt and the other similarly graded crushed tile. The courts are designed to play medium pace and be receptive to spin, but most of all, to be kind to the body. The controlled slide virtually eliminates the damaging jarring that occurs on hard courts and the resulting damage to knees and hips.

Where will I be?

Iona Park is located minutes from Moss Vale, and is ideally located to access the local wedding venues, wineries and surrounding towns of Bowral, Robertson, Fitzroy Falls or Burrawang - all within easy driving distance of the property through beautiful countryside.

Why choose Iona Park?

Iona Park is an iconic property with abundant features that make this country home a destination within itself. In warm weather, guests can enjoy perfect outdoor country living - dining on the north facing alfresco terrace, swimming in the pool, or a spot of tennis on the two tennis courts! In winter, sit inside by the open fire, share a long, relaxed meal with family and friends, play pool, or walk around the estate in the fresh country air. The private outdoors are a great place to spend time with family and friends enjoying a relaxed BBQ and sitting around the fire pit under the starry night sky.

How is the property laid out?

Arrive at Iona Park and enter the estate through ornate cast iron gates, then along a driveway to the house. Enter the grand foyer with ornate curved stair. The hallway leads you to the right wing of the ground floor where you will find the casual open plan dining and lounge area with slow combustion heater. The Corian kitchen features in built coffee machine, Ilve double cooker with 6 burner gas stove and teppanyaki plate. The alfresco area is accessed through the French doors. The billiard room is located off the family room, as well as a bedroom (sleeping 4) with bathroom. The left wing of the ground floor includes the north facing formal dining and lounge area with open fireplace, and 2 bedrooms (sleeping 4 and 2) and the library and theatre room - each with a sofa bed. There is also a bathroom, ensuite and laundry in this area.

Upstairs there is an opulent master bedroom with ensuite and balcony which overlooks the surrounding countryside. Across the landing are two more bedrooms (sleeping 4 and 2) with a shared ensuite.

Wi-Fi, Internet, Netflix or Pay TV will I have it?

This property provides complimentary Wi-Fi and a password will be provided in your pre-arrival email, or will be available at the property.

What about outdoors?

Iona Park has extensive gardens and grounds, and a short stroll through the trellis walk leads you to the swimming pool. There are also two full sized clay tennis courts. You are free to explore the property, however you must close gates and must be wildlife aware especially in areas of long grass, or around dams.

If you have young children, please be particularly aware of the open dam between the house and the tennis courts.

Iona park has a gas BBQ and a firepit that guests are welcome to use.

Keeping warm or keeping cool?

Iona Park benefits from a north orientation, and is well equipped with heating cooling. There air conditioning for heating and cooling on both levels - the most efficient way to warm or cool the house. There are two fireplaces - an open fireplace in the formal lounge room and a slow combustion Cheminees Philippe wood heater in the family room.

The swimming pool is solar heated so the water temperature will depend entirely on the sun conditions prior to and during your arrival.

Exceptional stay at an unbelievable property
We had a large group of friends staying at Iona Park for a reunion and we were all absolutely blown away. From the moment you arrive, the facilities are jaw dropping. Both the inside, especially the pool room and library, and outside (double tennis court!) were stunning. The kitchen was well stocked and plenty big enough to accommodate all of us. The check-in process was very smooth and the hosts were a pleasure to deal with. I can’t recommend this stay highly enough!
