Description

The Barn began life on the banks of the Shoalhaven River. It was built to house feed and stores for a small dairy holding in the early days of south coast settlement. When we discovered it 10 years ago, while visiting friends on a neighbouring property, it was looking in need of a fresh start and so, we dismantled it, put it on the back of a truck and brought it to our property on the outskirts of Berry.

We rebuilt it but we installed a galley kitchen and bathroom, replaced the plumbing and wiring, replaced some of the jarrah cladding and the entire roof, ran a veranda around it, and lavished it with paint internally. The furnishings are a mix of Victorian through to contemporary and the whole place is now fresh, warm and light. We love it!

A beautiful, calm, natural setting.

The Barn sits high on the property at the end of a no through road, surrounded by trees, looking down the valley over vineyards, grazing land and forest all the way to the ocean at Seven Mile Beach, 10 kilometres away. In summer the cross breezes work effectively with the old barn door opening up to a private court yard and large French Doors opening on to the veranda. In winter, the fuel stove keeps things snug.

The site was once covered in lantana and privet but selective clearing and weeding has led to amazing natural rainforest regeneration of red, white and pencil cedars, koda, pittosporums, cleradendrons and whalebones for example. The bird life is prolific. It is a very private and peaceful hideaway just 5 minutes up the valley from Berry.

  • "The most beautiful place I have ever seen. Can't wait to go back!"

  • "The Old Barn was such a romantic stay! So peaceful and relaxing, we could not have chosen a better weekend getaway to really get away from it all. Ontop of that, Berry is such a quaint town it's hard not to fall in love with it! We will definitely be returning and I would highly recommend The Old Barn to anyone who just wants some peace and quiet!! "

  • "Even in the pouring rain The Old Barn was a perfect rural escape from the stress and strain of the world. Why do we need all the acoutrements that we strive to acquire? Fantastic position, excellently equipped for a romantic peaceful weekend."

  • "A lovely enchanting place with views to die for while you are perched amongst the treetops. Filled with the basics and crisp clean linen, what more could you ask for... The hardest decision is which veranda to sit on as you follow the sun... which will wake you in the morning with fabulous sunrises... there are blinds if you choose to use them but I certainly didn't. Absolute bliss."

  • "A wonderful location and a comfortable and well-equipped place to stay, with all the small details thought of to feel welcome and relaxed. Close to town and the beach while also being privately tucked away in beautiful surrounds, it is the perfect place for doing as much or as little as you like! Very special."
