What a lovely part of the world - we really enjoyed our stay - would highly recommend if you want a getaway that is quiet & tranquil The breakfasts & fresh local bakery bread were an added bonus
Very welcoming hosts and respected our privacy. Accommodation was neat and clean and bed was super comfortable. Surroundings were excellent with a pleasant walk around the estate including a lovely, picturesque dam and jetty. Would recommend for other couples
Elizabeth was a fantastic host, going over and above in every way. Beautiful cottage in a spectacular part of Berry. Breakfast amenities provided and lots of extra special touches that made for a memorable stay. Highly recommend.
The studio was lovely. Spacious with everything you needed and then some.The location was the perfect country retreat. My compliments to owners, your grounds were immaculately kept and a joy to walk around in.Thank you
The Studio was fabulous! Spacious, spotlessly clean, comfortable and very well appointed. The breakfast provisions were very generous and the eggs could not have been fresher! We did the recommended walk around this beautiful property and even thanked the friendly chooks ourselves. Saw many birds and even grazing kangaroos in the front garden on our return. A very beautiful and peaceful place to stay. Would definitely return. A great place to have peace and privacy, but also to be close to Berry, Werri Beach, Gerringong and the beautiful Kangaroo Valley and the river. Thank you Liz!
The host were terrific, excellent communication without bombarding us with "rules and regulations'. The accomodation and grounds were absolutely beautiful, just as described on Stayz. When we fortuitously met with the host he was extremely friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend!

Thanks Neil for your very complimentary review. We rarely see or meet any guests but my husband, Doug, said he enjoyed meeting you. You mentioned you would like to revisit during the winter to sit in front of the fire so perhaps we will host you again one day. Kind regards, Elizabeth
We had an amazing stay at this overnight property stay. The accommodation was spotless, comfortable, and beautifully set up with thoughtful touches throughout. Waking up to the peace of the property was such a treat, and breakfast was delicious and made with care.The hosts were warm and welcoming, and the whole experience was relaxing and memorable. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special stay.
The stay was amazing, it’s very private in a nice quiet area surrounded by nature. Perfect spot to relax. The hosts are very considerate, they had everything I could possible think of needing available to use. Highlight- breakfast with farm fresh eggs! Great stay will be back
