Berta's Cottage at Berry

Located on a quiet country lane 4 minutes from the quaint township of Berry and the iconic Seven Mile Beach, this well-appointed, comfortable 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom cottage overlooks a dairy farm with rolling green pastures and distant hills.

Berta's cottage sleeps up to 6 people. Linen and towels are included, and many extra touches to make your stay comfortable and relaxing. The cottage is on 3/4 acre of garden with a covered gazebo with wood burning BBQ, a games room, herb garden, fruit trees and fragrant flowers, and is surrounded on 3 sides by farmland.

Berry is a vibrant village with a diverse range of cafes & boutiques. The cottage is close to many activities including walks, swimming and surfing, fishing, canoeing, golf, wine tasting, markets, great restaurants and stunning rural scenery.

The two double bedrooms open on to the north-facing verandah at the front of the house with outdoor furniture - the perfect spot to enjoy the peace and quiet and spectacular rural views while enjoying a freshly brewed coffee or glass of wine. The third bedroom with 2 single beds overlooks the farm next door.

The well equipped kitchen boasts a country pantry equipped with a coffee machine and pantry essentials including oil, specialty tea and coffee.

The lounge room offers comfortable lounges, recycled and eclectic furniture with a cozy wood combustion fire perfect for cool Winter evenings, and air conditioning for the warmer months.

Two bathrooms are offered with toiletries, one with a walk in shower, the other you may enjoy a leisurely bath looking out the large picture window.

Berta's Cottage check in time is 3 pm and check out time is 10 am. Other times may be arranged when available.

Berry is a delightful popular holiday destination with wonderful cafes and shopping. Don't forget a visit to the Berry Markets (4th Sunday of the month), there are other markets each week in nearby towns. Take a drive to nearby attractions including swimming at Seven Mile beach at Shoalhaven Heads or Gerroa, the Blow hole at Kiama, whale watching at Jervis Bay, canoeing and lunch at the Kangaroo Valley, or Cambewarra Mountain lookout. For the more adventurous, the Coast walk from Gerringong to Kiama - the views will take your breath away.

Wineries and restaurants abound in this beautiful region. Enjoy a casual lunch or pizzas at Mountain Ridge winery, or lunches in Berry at Hedgehogs, The Garden, Il Locale Gelato cafe, and dinners at the Berry Hotel, Indika Indian and the Post House. In Gerroa we love seafood at the Blue Swimmer Restaurant, in Gerringong lunch at Sea Vista or The Hill, or for great vegetarian, The Perfect Break by the Surf Shop.

In Berry you can enjoy the monthly local markets, Thursday produce market, breakfast at Il Locale or Milkwood Bakery, sip tea at the Berry Tea Shop, enjoy coffee at IV coffee or wander the many beautiful and unusual shops.

Further afield, go for a scenic mountain drive to the Kangaroo Valley, visit the numerous wineries, bush walk in the National Park, visit the Fleet Air Arm museum, fish or surf or swim at the Seven Mile Beach, play golf or visit the seaside charms of Kiama or Gerringong.

How to get there:

It is about a 2 hours drive south of Sydney and about 20 minutes drive north of Nowra. The train stops in Berry.

From Sydney after the sign saying Berry and before the shops, turn left at the motel into Tannery Road. This goes under a low railway bridge and past the David Berry hospital and turns into Beach Road. After 2 km turn left at the bus shelter into Harley Hill Road. From Nowra go through the Berry shops and turn right at the motel into Tannery Road and follow the instructions as above.

Beautiful cottage
The cottage is set in beautiful grounds and very comfortable. The kitchen, especially, was very well stocked. It is also nicely located, very close to Berry but also on the road to Gerringong which we loved too. Thanks for the dining recommendations - we used them for both lunch and dinner! Thanks for such a lovely stay.

Great place to stay
We have been coming to Bertas with the family at least annually for about 11 years. It never disappoints. The house is comfortable and well equiped. The BBQ is a special attraction for us. There's lots of space for children and dog to play. Cows, goats, alpacas to be seen. It's relaxing, peaceful, beautiful and only minutes away from lovely Berry and Seven Mile Beach.

Absolutely loved it!
We go away quite frequently. This was by far our most enjoyable trip to date.. Gorgeous cottage in a stunning setting. So peaceful and quiet. The cottage was equipped with everything we could ask for. We had 2 friends drop in and spent 2 days with us. Comfy beds, free wifi, Netflix and Prime available. Berry was a 5 min drive and we shopped till we dropped and stuffed ourselves with Devonshire teas. Our dog thoroughly enjoyed herself in the safe fenced off yard - she had a great time exploring. The pre-booking process was seamless and our host Rosemary was so kind and friendly. We will definitely be returning to this wonderful property 🙌 Thank you Rosemary 🙏

This is the type of place where you can really unwind. Beautiful country setting but close to beach and Berry. The house is immaculate and very cosy, and had all the little touches that make a stay special - bottle of wine & cheese in the fridge, bikes & hammock. We loved this place and will be back.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Berta’s cottage. So lovely to find a great place to not only accommodate us but also our dog. With all the creature comforts.

Already planning our next visit to Berta’s Cottage
This was our third visit to Rosemary's beautiful house. As soon as we stepped out of the car and took in the view from the deck we felt instantly relaxed. The house is set on a lovely country road. Cows mooing and lovely goats as neighbours. All only 5 minutes from Berry town centre. We can't wait to come back again soon.

Great pet friendly stay
We had a wonderful & relaxing time, our dogs absolutely loved the fenced garden. It is so good to be in the heart of the country but only 15 mins from the beach too. Would definitely book again. The added touch of a local wine, cheese & crackers was lovely. If (hopefully when) we return I would bring our dog fence/pen as whilst the back is fully fenced, the bbq deck area is at the side of the house open to the front and also the front deck which the bedroom doors open onto has two sets of steps down to the front yard, when out here we had to watch to make sure the dogs didn’t go straight out the drive onto the road as there is no gate. The one thing that did happen was that the gardener turned up around 5pm on the first night to mow, we had no notice and in fact just 10 mins earlier I’d been in the bathroom where the picture window would have given them a view of me in the shower rather than me seeing the country!!

Our experience was wonderful! The location was amazing and the house was well equipped. We were surrounded by beautiful views as well as neighbouring farm animals which was lovely. My family and I enjoyed our stay as well as our two dogs who loved running around in the backyard that was fenced off and secure.

Lovely Weekend
Berta's Cottage was located in a quiet spot with a peaceful location and pretty outlook, yet a short 5 min drive into town. We paid to allow the dog to stay and it was perfect for him too. Very much appreciated treats left for us: jam, milk, wine, cheese and crackers. Thank you Rosemary you were a lovely host to deal with. One tiny suggestion a bath mat inside the bath tub for using the shower would make you feel a little more secure and less afraid of slipping. Thank you for sharing your property with us.

Relaxing setting for a summer break
We enjoyed a 5 night stay at this comfortable, cosy and well-equipped holiday home. Evenings on the front deck looking out across farmland to the hills around Berry as the sun set were a highlight. It is a short and easy drive to either Gerroa and Gerringong and the coast, or into Berry township. We appreciated being able to bring our dog, however the fencing wasn’t adequate to contain a curious medium sized cattle dog cross. If you’re bringing a small dog, the backyard may be better suited.
