Sutton Forest

It's time to uncover one of the most historic of all the Highlands villages, home of the former NSW Governor's country residence, Hillview, now with open days and accommodation for visitors. Today this village is also home to celebrities like 'Nicole and Keith' and Red Cow Farm, one of the most visited private gardens in the Southern Highlands.

Located 129 kilometres southwest of Sydney and five kilometres from Moss Vale, Sutton Forest is one of the quaint historic towns of the Southern Highlands. This small township is set amongst rolling green hills and is surrounded by rivers and state forests. Explore the meandering country lanes around Sutton Forest, visit historic churches and cemeteries, stay in a cosy bed and breakfast that was once a colonial inn, admire the pretty cool-climate gardens and stock up on antiques and country wares. All very close to the cool climate wineries in the beautiful Southern Highlands.
