The Drawing Rooms of Berry  

In the South Coast hinterland on a 15-acre estate framed by the Shoalhaven escarpment, just under 10 minutes’ drive from the village of Berry and about two hours south of Sydney. The Drawing Rooms of Berry sits in Woodhill, within a 10-minute walk of Barren Grounds and Rodway Nature Reserves and with the Drawing Room Rocks bushwalk on the doorstep — a boutique country retreat and family-friendly cottage hideaway.

Three private lodges and four individually decorated guestrooms set the tone for a luxe, private stay. Rooms feature fireplaces, indoor private hot tubs, private furnished balconies, kitchens with ovens and stovetops, LCD TVs/DVD players, and bathrooms with jetted tubs and rainfall showerheads. All accommodation is non-smoking; couple bookings get a one-bedroom layout, larger bookings open the second bedroom (plus a sofabed for five).

Unwind in the on-site spa with massages and facials, or spread out for a picnic and fire up the barbeque area. Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected while you wake up to escarpment-framed mornings on the veranda. Wedding services and secluded, neighbours-free lodges add to the private, boutique vibe.

Express check-in and check-out, luggage storage and free self parking on site. Accessible features include an elevator, and free Wi-Fi is available across the property.

Stop by the on-site restaurant for a relaxed meal, or use your room’s well-equipped kitchen to cook with local produce. Al fresco options include the picnic and barbeque areas for casual, countryside dining.
