Moss Manor was first built in 1890 as the council chambers and mayor’s residence for the beautiful town of Moss Vale, before being turned into a private home in the 1970s. The luxury property now houses eight guest suites and more than 50 pieces of Australian art. All guests enjoy afternoon tea on arrival, breakfast, and wine tasting from a selection of local vineyards in the evening.
