No. 52 Bowral

Welcome to No. 52 Bowral. A beautifully restored 1890s weatherboard home and the childhood residence of cricket legend Sir Donald Bradman.

Sir Donald lived here from age three to fifteen, formative years that shaped the greatest batsman in cricket history. For the first time ever, this iconic home is open to the public for overnight stays, offering a rare opportunity to experience Australian sporting history.

Thoughtfully designed and lovingly restored, No. 52 delivers a character-filled yet luxurious stay, where history and modern comfort exist in quiet balance.

The interiors showcase artwork and furnishings sourced predominantly from local suppliers, creating spaces that feel authentic, considered and deeply connected to the region.

Throughout the home, subtle touches of history and storytelling invite guests to journey through the house at their own pace. Carefully placed replicas sit alongside period features to evoke the spirit of the era without overwhelming the space.

Original features remain throughout. There's also a carefully sourced memorabilia room, while the outdoor area beside the famous water tank where Bradman once practised offers a peaceful retreat.

Comfort is prioritised year-round, with central heating, fires and electric blankets, and air conditioning for warmer summer days.

With four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and fully equipped kitchen, No. 52 is ideal for families, couples or small groups seeking a refined, memorable stay in a truly special setting.
