We were looking for accommodation for a family celebration for 22 people ages 7- 80 and Berrima Retreat was perfect. There was something for everyone. The home is so thoughtfully set up. There is a media room for the sports fanatics or a quiet movie. A beautiful warm sunroom for coffee and quiet chats. A pool table, BBQ and fire pit for evenings outside and fantastic play equipment for the kids (and the big kids). Being winter we weren’t brave enough to use the pool or kayaks. The kitchen is set up with big groups in mind, two dishwashers, two ovens and stove tops made big cook ups easy. We also loved the huge dining table which meant we could all eat together, which meant no one was relegated to the dreaded ‘kids table’.The house was immaculate.Ric our host took the time to show us sheep and alpaca feeding which was a hit. He was also was quick to help us out with any issues.Everybody had a great time. We will be back.

Fantastic family reunion
With 11 kids aged from 8 to 3 months, we needed someone to stay that had quiet spaces for he babies but plenty of things to do for the toddlers and kids. The property was perfect and everyone had a great time. Looks like this might become an annual event thanks to the wonderful and thoughtful touches by Ric and the team.

Simply outstanding!
We booked BR for some milestone celebrations with our friends and their families over the weekend. The property is situated on a farm with ample place for kids to play with fantastic play areas. A massive sand pit , the kangaroo jumping, the delightful pool and surprise, surprise a small dam with kayaks ! There were even farm animals, a massive outdoor chess board, a fantastic pizza oven and barbie! The game room and the media room were to die for!! The kids were sorted and completely taken care of. As for the adults, we had all the couples sorted in their own honeymoon bedrooms and all kids in 2 big bedrooms. Boys separate, girls separate! The beautiful sun room and the massive dining room were the heart of the common area for us adults. Warm, inviting, clean and modern this property was a huge hit with all young and old. A must stay for a large group, it is indeed one of our best Stayz! Highly recommend. Ric was an absolute gem. Calm, collected and thorough! Felt like he was family. THANK YOU so much for making our special milestones even more special as we were celebrated my husband's 55th, my 50th and our 25th wedding anniversary all in one!!
