Our Home - Our Story
Sage Manor began with a simple dream—to create a home where family and friends could gather, slow down and reconnect.

A Place to Gather
When we first walked along the driveway, we knew this was more than just a beautiful property. It was a place that invited people to pause. The gardens, the mature trees, the quiet corners and the ever-changing seasons all seemed to encourage a slower pace and a deeper appreciation of nature.
We feel incredibly fortunate to call Sage Manor home.
Life here is grounded in simple rituals. Most mornings begin with a walk up Mt Gibraltar—"The Gib" to the locals—taking in the fresh air, changing light and magnificent bushland that surrounds Bowral. It's a daily reminder of how restorative nature can be and one of the many reasons we fell in love with this special part of the Southern Highlands.
Our home is shared with some very special four-legged family members, whose gentle presence brings warmth, laughter and a little extra joy to each day. Along with the abundant birdlife and local wildlife that visit the gardens, they remind us that wellbeing is often found in the simple moments.
Creativity has always been part of my life. I come from a family of artists, where making, creating and gathering around ideas was simply part of growing up. That appreciation for beauty, craftsmanship and thoughtful spaces has shaped every corner of Sage Manor. We wanted to create a home that inspires conversation, creativity and quiet reflection—a place where people feel comfortable to think, write, paint, practise, laugh and simply be.
The gardens have become an extension of our living space. They are a place to wander, read a book beneath the trees, share a meal with friends or sit quietly with a cup of tea (and yes we have a lot to choose from). Over our time here, we have painted painstakingly every room, renovated the spaces, floors and surfaces all with locals who share a passion for simple design.
Over time, neighbours began joining us for gentle yoga, meditation and mindfulness sessions. What started as a small gathering of local people sharing quiet moments together gradually grew into a welcoming community centred around connection, kindness and wellbeing. Those gatherings have always reflected the heart of Sage Manor—people coming together in a home, not simply
attending an activity.
Today, Sage Manor continues to welcome guests seeking rest, inspiration and meaningful connection. Our hope is that you'll feel what we felt from the very beginning—a sense of coming home.
We hope that when you leave, you take a little of Sage Manor with you: a slower breath, a quieter mind, renewed inspiration and the feeling that you've found a place where you can truly pause, recalibrate and reconnect.
