A picturesque 90 minute drive from Sydney and a little under 2 hours from Canberra lies the Southern Highlands, a region known for its historic landmarks, national parks, lush countryside and quality local-grown food and wine. Set amidst beautifully manicured grounds in the rolling hills of Bowral is Peppers Manor House, a historic country estate that is set to become this year’s most boutique conference and event retreat.

Event organisers in New South Wales and the ACT can now forget the stale work meeting. Following a spectacular $5 million refurbishment, this unique venue offers the grandeur of a 137 year old country manor with the luxe facilities of a modern 5 star hotel and a host of unique country experiences sure to entice any delegate.

The property has now opened its impressive new indoor/outdoor conference and events centre – a 300 seat venue with connecting open air terrace. Features include a large open stone fireplace, rustic wooden feature bar, fixed ceiling with heating, lighting and drop down walls, state-of-the-art Bose sound system and modern audio visual equipment.

The venue has also seen a spectacular refresh to its reception and lobby, extensive landscaping upgrades, an elegant refurbishment of all 43 guest rooms and the introduction of a new dining concept. In addition to the renowned Katers Restaurant – winner of five consecutive Chef Hat awards – the property has introduced the new casual dining venue The Larder, the 40 seat outdoor courtyard and dining venue with a focus on fresh local ingredients.

The new event space is complemented by another 4 venues on the estate, as well as a championship golf course, on-site Day Spa, swimming pool, tennis courts, and helipad – all designed to add zing to your next conference agenda.
