Bantam Cottage-Bronze Winner Stayz Holiday Home Awards
Bantam Cottage is a cosy, cute, 120 year old, pet friendly cottage and is the ideal house to make your home for a few days. The cafes, restaurants and wonderful shops of Berry are only a leisurely two minute stroll around the corner so just park and have a day or two car free.
The heart of the cottage is the sitting room which has a beautiful open fire, laid and just ready to light in winter. It is a cozy place to laze in front of with candles, a bottle of red wine or to toast marshmallows with the kids.
There are beautiful polished timber floors throughout scattered with rugs for warmth. The kitchen has an oven, stove, microwave, all the utensils needed, and a range of basic pantry items are supplied.
The two bedrooms have queen beds which are made up with fresh linen and bedding and have electric blankets. Soft fluffy towels are also supplied.
The bathroom has an easily accessible shower but no bath.
The front verandah looks out over the town to the hills behind and is a lovely place to watch the world go by while at the rear of the house is a large deck overlooking farmland and a quiet rural scene. This catches the morning sun and is a peaceful place to enjoy a morning tea or coffee.
Pets are welcome in the house and the back yard is fully fenced and secure with large shade trees.
Directly across the road is The Berry General Store with its delicious food and coffee. The wonderful shops, cafes and restaurants are only around the corner and 2 minutes walk away.
PET FRIENDLY
A perfect family getaway - pets are welcome too.
Bring your furry best friend on holiday with you and stay in our homely cottage. With our easy to clean timber floors pets are welcome in the house to be a part of the family, sitting in front of the open fire or begging for a treat at the dining table. The back yard is a securely fenced, dog safe area set with large trees and lawn for playing ball games. Berry is a dog friendly town so you can take your pet to many cafes so he isn't left home alone. There is an off leash area close to the house and many lovely streets to go for walks while admiring the houses and gardens. There is a great off leash area for dogs only 10 minutes away on the beach at Shoalhaven Heads where your dog can run to its hearts content.

Well styled cottage, spacious and well located, great to walk into town and to visit cafe across the road, easy parking and easy check in and out. Would stay again!
We’ve found the perfect place to stay in Berry! Spotlessly clean and well appointed with comfortable beds and new kitchen and bathroom. Great location only a few meters to everything but nice and quiet. Couldn’t recommend this gorgeous cottage enough!
We had a fantastic stay at Bantam Cottage. The house was spotlessly clean, very comfortable, and perfectly located just a short stroll from the main part of town, shops, and cafes. We especially loved that it was pet friendly, with a secure yard and a beautiful balcony to enjoy a cup of tea on a crisp morning. It was also an easy drive to Seven Mile Beach, which was great for our dog. Janet was lovely to deal with, very responsive, and made the whole process simple and stress-free. We can’t wait to visit again!
I would recommend this property highly for great location, price, home touches and ease of contact with the host. We had a fabulous weekend in this beautiful home.Would definitely stay again. Thank you
Delightful cottage in a great location. Comfy beds and great hot water - and lots of welcoming touches. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - everything we needed was there!
A beautifully restored little house in a fantastic location, everything we needed for a stopover on our way south. We loved berry and will definitely return next time we're heading South.
Very clean and tidy. Good kitchen area. Great location. Walk to Berry main street for cafes, shops pubs. Cafe directly opposite serves great coffee and breakfast
Great place. Location is perfect. Beds were comfortable and linen was great quality. Loved the decor!! Will definitely be back!!Photos are from the front veranda looking to the coffee shop opposite and also looking towards Queen Street. Thought the parking would be an issue ( as there’s no onsite parking) but it was fine.
Beautiful cottage, very cosy, clean and everything catered for.
Great location, quiet, and relaxing.
Well maintained property, would highly recommend to Friends and family.

Why they chose this property
We fell in love with the simplicity and history of this cottage when we first saw it. We lived here for several years with our young daughters enjoying the friendliness and intimacy of Berry before moving to a country property and intend to return to live here eventually.
What makes this property unique
Step back in time to when life was simpler and slower. In the winter months laze in front of the open fire while in the summer enjoy the rural outlook across paddocks from the back deck.
