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.

Beautiful Berta's Cottage in Berry
We and our dog, Sandy, enjoyed our stay very much. The cottage was situated in a lovely rural area overlooking dairy farmland. We enjoyed the tranquillity, garden areas and surrounding places to visit. We look forward to staying again.

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 🙏

Bliss...
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.

What a lovely spot.
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. Rosemary has thought of everything to make the stay welcoming and comfortable. The wood fire was perfection. We look forward to visiting again.
