Osborn House’s brand-new Forest Luxury Stay Experience is an absolute dream for anyone seeking rejuvenation and relaxation.
It’s no wonder that wellness is the word on everyone’s lips these days. Stepping away from the daily grind and prioritising self-care isn’t just about feeling and looking great; it’s essential for maintaining our resilience when we dive back into the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
That’s why we’re smitten with Osborn House‘s fabulous Forest Luxury Stay Experiences. Known for its breathtaking setting, the perfect mix of elegance and relaxation, and cosy atmosphere, Osborn House has won our hearts. And now, with their new Forest Lodge stay packages and a fresh Forest Bathing Deck, we’re head over heels.
If you’re eager to dive headfirst into the lap of luxury at Osborn House [um, yes, please!], we’ve got all the important details on this total wellness getaway right here in the Highlands.
Ahh, just writing about it has us feeling more relaxed already!
The Lodges
Recently, Osborn House added five additional freestanding Forest Lodges to the existing seven. These lodges were built to meet the increasing demand for this gorgeous private stay option. Just one look at the stunning pictures of these architecturally designed beauties, and we get why they’re so very popular.
With uninterrupted views right across Morton National Park, you can’t get much more immersed in nature than this. Inside, you’ll find bespoke lighting, boho rugs, a mix of classic and modern decor, wood panelling, a toasty fireplace, and an outdoor tub [total bliss] perfect for soaking both yourself and those breathtaking views.
If we booked here, we’d need to block out a few good hours just for sitting in the bath, let alone all the other incredible elements of the lodge.
The Packages
In very exciting news, for the first time ever, Osborn House is offering all-inclusive stay packages for guests in the Forest Lodge, and honestly, peeps, they sound AMAZING!
You can choose from a 2-, 3-, or 5-night stay, and each booking includes champers on arrival, daily breakfast, a lunch or picnic basket full of goodies to enjoy on the property, daily dinner, a Southern Highlands excursion experience, a $100 spa credit per guest, a full minibar, and a standard drinks package… WOW!
For the 3-night stay, you’ll also receive a full spa treatment instead of a credit, and for the 5-night stay, you’ll be upgraded to a luxury excursion like horse riding at Rosthwaite Farm or beekeeping at Bowral Beekeeping.
Oh, we wish we could do them all, don’t you??
Relax
On top of all these wonderful inclusions, there are plenty of other ways to get fully relaxed at Osborn House. Not only are the 5 new lodges added, but there’s also the magical new Forest Bathing Deck. The deck is set outdoors in the middle of the forest and is a private natural oasis. Only two guests are available on the deck at a time, and it includes a wood sauna and ice bath. The deck is also exclusively for use by the Forest Lodge guests.
The day spa inside Osborn House is total bliss as well. With four different treatment rooms offering massages, facials, and couples therapies, plus a 25-metre lap pool, steam room, and sauna, it’s a haven for shedding stress and feeling totally at ease.
Move
As much as we love to relax, we also know that getting our muscles moving to improve our wellness is important.
Osborn House has loads of opportunities to get our bodies in motion with pickleball courts, a tennis court, and a fully equipped gym with Peloton bikes and pilates equipment.
Nothing beats a good sauna sesh [or ice bath if you’re brave] after a fun workout.
Nourish
The dining at Osborn House is a total highlight. There are two options to nourish your tum and keep you smiling during your stay.
Dinah’s, open for dinner from Wednesday to Sunday, offers a set menu full of refined shared meals. George’s Bar, open for lunch and dinner every day of the week, is more of a laid-back experience.
Both dining options feature plenty of Southern Highlands produce, which we appreciate. These include veggies and eggs from Musset Holdings, bread from Moonacres, olive oil from Wollumbi Estate, and chicken from Rockaway Farm—all local businesses we adore for their top-quality produce.
For those of us who love a good tipple [hands up], you’ll be super impressed with George’s Bar’s fab selection of local wines, with some wonderful international options thrown in the mix too. And speaking of mixing, the cocktails at George’s Bar are sublime, including their signature Woodlands Old Fashioned and Osborn Sour.
Oooooh, and now’s also an extra excellent time to pay Osborn House a visit with their Fire Feasts back up and running for the colder months. These one-of-a-kind South American-inspired cooking experiences are a total must-do/eat in the Highlands.
Enjoy
You might never want to leave once you settle into your stay at Osborn House. But if you’re up for some exploring beyond the property, the team has you covered with a range of awesome experiences they can help book. From wine tours to golfing, bushwalks, horseback riding, and even fly fishing, there are plenty of ways to soak up the best of our wonderful Highlands.
We can almost hear our minds and bodies begging for a stay at Osborn House and one of these fantastic Forest Lodge experiences, and we bet you can, too.
