The open-plan living and bedrooms lead onto a wrap-around verandah, where you can take in the tranquil garden and lawns. Whether you're looking for an active getaway—exploring the area, surfing, golfing, or hiking—or simply want to unwind with a book and a glass of wine, 'Borrowdale' is the perfect retreat.

Relaxing getaway

We had a wonderful weekend staying at Borrowdale. The home is very spacious inside and is very well equipped for a relaxing stay. The kitchen is lovely and a variety of games were provided. The views from the verandas were gorgeous and we were cosy warm with both fires going. We’ll definitely be back.

Beautifully secluded but close to town

Our stay was beautiful, the property feels like it is very secluded with the views out to the escarpment but is close enough to town centre (5 minutes) that we would just do coffee and pastry runs for breakfast! Our toddler loved just exploring the property and the horses up the road. Having two fireplaces in the house was also lovely!

Beautiful getaway

Perfect location with a beautiful outlook, just far enough away from Berry to relax but close enough to grab a coffee and pastry. The home has everything you need with fully stocked kitchen and plenty of space. The two fireplaces ensure the house is adequately heated and extra blankets are provided. Board games and books give a homely atmosphere and would stay again.

Weekend stay

Stayed for 2 nights. Nice little house in great location. Enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again. A couple of minor issues, top of fridge needs a wipe down and there are old star pickets sticking out of the ground at the steps in the yard. Stood on one with bare feet! A bit of tv reception wouldnt go astray as well. Fix these things and ill give you a 5 star rating.

Bucolic Bliss

My partner an I have been staying here for years. Love it. We have always been reluctant to review it because we want it to remain our little secret. It is clean, cosy, comfortable and well set up. Outstanding views and wonderfully peaceful. You feel like you’re a million miles from anywhere but Berry is only a few minutes away. We would recommend it to anyone who wants a few days of R&R
