A lovely stay

We loved our stay at the cottage. It's set just out of Berry, so everything is close by, but it still feels like a country retreat. Would definitely recommend.

Delighted

We so enjoyed our stay at Hillcrest Cottage, Berry. Janette is a generous hostess, very approachable, friendly and welcoming. The accommodation was so comfortable and clean, just 2 minutes from the main street of Berry yet set beautifully in the Berry countryside. Delighted to be in peaceful green space and experience the nature around us – the birdlife, kangaroos, lyre-birds, wombats to name a few. This is the perfect base-point to venture to other nearby townships – Kangaroo Valley, Robertson, Kiama and Gerringong all quite close by. We were delighted with our stay.

peaceful

A very basic cottage in well kept grounds only 5 minutes drive from. Berry. The owner was pleasant and respectful of our privacy, so that we could enjoy our quiet weekend away. The kitchen is very basic and the cooker is in need of updating. Everything needed was there, but dont plan on doing much cooking. The bedroom layout implies it's a two bedroon cottage, but The second bed shown is in the main and onlybedroom. This caused a sleepless night for us and our bub as we had to share. The upside though is it's very close to Berry.

Good

Dwelling was compact, cute and well considered Full kitchen is a bonusPlenty of nicely mowed areas to walk the dogsMain drawback was there was no wifi at all and no phone range inside the building so we couldn’t hot spot. We therefore went without the internet for 48 hrs which isn’t fair.The owner was away and the windows didn’t lock, meaning when we went out our laptops etc were vulnerable to theft.There was a faint smell of septic tanks throughout the house and noisy mice in the roofWe had a nice time despite this…. could have been better though!

Beautiful retreat

We stayed for 4 nights and thoroughly enjoyed all that the property has to offer. It is a 3 min drive into Berry, yet tucked away on a quiet and peaceful property. The owner is very friendly and the check in process was easy. We especially loved the surrounding trees and greenery. We could open up the house and let the fresh breeze put us to sleep at night. The house had everything we needed for our getaway.

Excellent Experience

This was our fourth stay at Hillcrest Cottage. An excellent position close to Berry and Nowra. Jannette is an excellent host; always makes you feel welcome including your pets. My only concern about this recommendation is that it may become too popular.
