The Rift Estate
Historic Victorian Estate
The Rift is a grand Victorian Italianate mansion and historic gardens in Bowral. The house is an original 'gentlemen's residence' constructed in the late nineteenth-century. Nestled in the Southern Highlands, a leisurely 90 minute drive from Sydney, The Rift is surrounded by established cold-climate gardens and the lush, rambling countryside.
Two of The Estate’s original outbuildings have been sympathetically converted into self-contained accommodation. Take a break and escape to one of our heritage designer retreats nestled in the heart of Bowral.
