Arafel Park - Southern Highlands

Mid week girls getaway

Beautiful property with manicured gardens perfect for your wedding party accomodation. The property provided so many spots for us to get ready in and take photos. It was clean, comfortable, and had everything you needed. Host provided bread and a bottle to bubbles which was a bonus! You will not regret staying here!

Perfect spot to host the bridal wedding party in the lead up to our wedding. Arafel Park had everything we needed, we were getting married at Bendooley Estate and this location was so convenient and had so much space available for all the family. Beautiful grounds, beautiful house. Couldn't have asked for a more lovely spot to wake up on my wedding day.

We hired this place for the morning of our wedding and it was such a beautiful place. The inside was so clean and well maintained with beautiful decor. So many photo opportunities both inside and out. Would recommend for families and for other wedding parties!!

The property was the perfect size for the whole family who stayed for 2 nights to attend a wedding. The elders stayed in the main house while our family of five stayed in the smaller cottage. The owner was very helpful and accomodating, answering our calls and questions regarding our stay. The house/ cottage was clean. It was 15 mins away from the wedding venue. We would come back and stay again next time we are in the area and in a big group.

For our son's wedding, we stayed with our family in the main house and my son stayed in the cottage onsite with his groomsmen. Being December, the pool was a handy spot to cool off. The house and grounds were perfect for pre- wedding photographs. Overall, we couldn't have chosen a better place. Very happy with everything.

This place is perfect for a special getaway with family or friends. The grounds are truly stunning and during our stay there were abundant roses flowering everywhere!

I would definitely recommend this place for bigger groups. The only thing you need to really pick up on is that two of the rooms are 'adjoining' but what they don't say is that they are adjoining with a light curtain. it would be fine with a family but it was a bit awkward with two of our couples but they got over it. Any recommendation I would make to the owner would be to fill that in and if you want it adjoining still - add a door. really lovely place though and despite the adjoining room - we would still go back there.

We are a group of 9 school friends who have known each other for 50 years. We get together all over Australia twice a year. Our stay at Araceli was wonderful. Beautiful property with adequate bedding for us. Warm and comfortable. Beautiful grounds as well. Highly recommend for a large group or family

Our family, my daughter and her bride tribe loved our 3-night stay at Arafel Park. From the beautiful and extensive gardens to the charming architecture and relaxed yet elegant country styling, it was the perfect place to get ready for and recover from a Southern Highlands wedding. Plenty of space for a large group to spread out in the house and separate cottage, as well as ample parking. At one stage we had our 6 cars plus another 6 for all the makeup artists, photographer, etc. All the amenities to make you feel at home, and great photo opportunities at every turn. We’re already trying to think of an excuse for a return visit in the near future.
