Why homeowners in Bowral, Mittagong, and beyond want cabinetry that works
Southern Highlands homeowners choose kitchen joinery that reflects daily living, not passing trends. Whether restoring a federation home in Bowral or building new in Moss Vale, families want cabinetry that blends timeless design with practical storage, long-term durability, and efficient layout flow.
Cobbitty Grove Kitchens has delivered exactly that for over 40 years. We design, build and install custom kitchens tailored to Southern Highlands homes, from heritage renovations to lifestyle acreage builds. Every kitchen is manufactured locally in Smeaton Grange, using cabinetry styles and materials suited to the regional climate, lifestyle, and architectural details.
From well-zoned layouts to walk-in pantries and island benches built for family life, our kitchens are designed around how you use the space, not how a flatpack template tells you to. Whether you’re starting from a floor plan or reworking an existing kitchen footprint, we work with you to create cabinetry that feels right for your home.
We regularly work with local builders, architects, and homeowners who value practical joinery that respects the character of the home while delivering seamless everyday function. Our work in the region ranges from compact kitchen updates in Mittagong villas to full-scale renovations in Burradoo homes where entertaining and layout flexibility matter.
How we approach kitchen renovations across the Southern Highlands
Kitchen renovation in the Southern Highlands means working with older homes, spacious properties, or compact layouts, and getting the details right. Cobbitty Grove Kitchens starts every project with a detailed site consultation or plan review to understand layout flow, cabinetry needs, and style alignment.
We offer two main kitchen renovation paths: a facelift (new doors, panels, benchtops) or a full custom rebuild (cabinetry, layout changes, joinery, stone, appliances). Pricing is driven by choices like benchtop material, layout reconfiguration, custom storage, and appliance integration.
Our in-house design team produces 3D visuals for every project, followed by precise manufacturing in our Smeaton Grange facility and full site installation. We also coordinate trades when needed and can assist with council approvals if internal walls or major structural changes are involved. Every step is built around clear communication, efficient timelines, and a commitment to functional, built-for-life kitchens.
We understand the unique challenges of renovating in established suburbs like Bowral and Berrima, where layouts often require smart integration with existing structures. Our team ensures every element, from power point placement to storage access, suits how you live, cook, and entertain in your home today.
What kind of kitchen suits your Southern Highlands home?
Bowral-style Hamptons kitchens
Shaker cabinetry, classic stone benchtops, and elegant profiles make Hamptons kitchens popular in Bowral heritage homes. We match these with soft-close hardware, panelled appliance facades, and spacious island benches. These kitchens pair well with original timber flooring, feature pendant lighting, and tall ceilings common in older homes.
Country kitchens for lifestyle properties
Country-style kitchens work well in acreage homes around Moss Vale and Mittagong. Wide walkways, oversized pantries, and natural timber finishes define these spaces, perfect for busy family homes or entertainers. These kitchens often include separate prep zones, farmhouse sinks, and cabinetry colours inspired by the natural surroundings.
Contemporary kitchens for modern builds
Newer homes in areas like Renwick or Burradoo benefit from minimalist cabinetry, handleless drawers, and integrated storage. Our contemporary designs balance clean lines with practical layout zones and durable finishes. Popular features include sleek profiles, push-to-open doors, and concealed appliance spaces for a more refined, clutter-free look.
What influences kitchen renovation cost and timeline?
Kitchen project budgets in the Southern Highlands depend on how much you’re changing and the level of customisation required. A cosmetic upgrade using new doors and benchtops is the most affordable option. Projects that involve stone benchtops, bespoke joinery, or appliance integration typically sit in the upper tiers.
Timelines follow a logical process:
- Design + selections: 2–4 weeks
- Manufacturing: 3–6 weeks
- Installation: 1–3 weeks
Structural changes, DA approvals, or third-party trade involvement may extend timeframes. Cobbitty Grove’s Foundations Package includes full quoting and 3D planning at no cost, giving you a clear starting point with no pressure.
We build every kitchen around real daily use, not hypothetical layouts. Whether you’re reconfiguring a 1980s galley kitchen or designing from slab plans, our team ensures each stage stays grounded in functionality, budget clarity, and regional fit.
