Family-run and family-friendly bed and breakfast in the NSW South Coast hinterland, 10 minutes from Berry and just 15 minutes from unspoiled beaches

Do you allow early check-ins or late check-outs?

Yes – wherever possible. We unfortunately can’t guarantee until a few days before, as we do often get late bookings. Late check-outs on a Sunday are usually available, unless we have a same-day check-in.

Do you allow one-night bookings?

Not usually, no, as the cleaning costs are prohibitive. However, on occasion we might – please contact us if you are interested. In these cases, we reserve the right to increase our prices.

How come I can’t check in on a Saturday night?

As a short-stay accommodation business so close to Sydney, the vast majority of our bookings are for Friday and Saturday nights. If we allow check-ins on a Saturday, it almost always means we lose the chance to book out the Friday night. And/or means we are forced to get a cleaner in on Saturday (at weekend rates) which is prohibitively expensive. On occasion, we might allow them at the last minute if we aren’t booked out for the upcoming weekend – in these cases, we reserve the right to increase our prices.

Can we pay via (a) bank transfer or (b) cash?

(a) Yes – in fact we prefer it! It can’t be done via the website however, so please email us if desired.
(b) No – we require the 50% deposit at the time of booking, and the remaining 50% 7 days before check-in. We also need a card on file in case of damages.

How many guests can you sleep?

We have 4 lodges which sleep the following number of guests:

• Treetops Lodge – 2 people.
• Wattamolla, Rainforest and Lyrebird Lodges – up to 5 people each (with the 5th guest on a very comfortable sofabed in the upstairs bedroom).
• In total, across the property, we can therefore sleep up to 17 guests, which means we are ideal for group, large family and wedding guest bookings.
• In each bedroom at Wattamolla, Rainforest or Lyrebird, you can choose from a king bed or two king singles. Simply let us know at the time of booking. Please note, it will not be possible to change bed configurations on the day of arrival.
• We also have 2 portacots available, which can be setup in any bedroom as desired.

Do you provide breakfast?

A range of breakfast cereals and a bottle of full cream milk (or another type of milk if requested) is provided in each lodge. If you would like a more luxurious breakfast, please check out our breakfast hampers.

Do you provide massages and treatments?

Yes we do! Please take a look at our treatment menu and let us know at the time of booking whether you would like to select a package or treatment. We will then book you in with our fully trained massage therapist.

Is your property accessible for people with disabilities?

Our 4 lodges were built before we took over the business and were not designed with disabled access in mind. Access to each lodge is via steps and there are internal staircases within each lodge as well.

However, please note that in Wattamolla, Rainforest and Lyrebird lodges, there is a downstairs bedroom with ensuite bathroom (including walk-in shower) which may be suitable if you have mobility difficulties. If you are able to walk up 3 steps from the parking space to the lodge entrance, the downstairs bedroom, bathrooms, living and kitchen space are all on one level.

To allow you to make an informed decision before booking, we have created floor plans for each lodge. Simply scroll to the end photo on the image carousel for each lodge.

Please refer to our Accessibility Guide for more detailed information, and if you have any questions or requests, please just get in touch – we are here to help.

How do you ensure all guests feel welcome and included?

We are committed to welcoming all guests equally – it is really important to us that everyone feels safe, respected and welcome, so please ask us if there is anything you need, or something we can do to help make your stay enjoyable. Please also feel welcome to tell us your preferred pronouns on the booking form. We are delighted to have undertaken Travel Proud training and constantly strive to build our understanding of ways in which we can welcome all our guests equally.

As a town, Berry celebrates and warmly welcomes people of all backgrounds, cultures, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, abilities and perspectives. Creating an inclusive environment is a top priority for the town, and one way this is expressed is with a beautiful rainbow welcome banner outside The Berry Chocolatier.

Is your accommodation family-friendly?

We love welcoming families and children! Some of the ways we do this include:

• Laundry facilities (washing machine and dryer) are available in each lodges.
• Portacots are available on request. With a highchair already in the storage cupboard in every lodge.
• In each bedroom, you can request king singles instead of a king bed, and there is a very comfortable sofabed in the top floor bedroom in Wattamolla, Rainforest and Lyrebird lodges.
• Boardgames and DVD player in each lodge (with a larger collection of books, DVDs and boardgames in the lobby of the Main House).
• A large garden to explore, with an orchard and chickens to visit, along with a play area with cubby house, chalkboard, sandpit, swings, slide and monkey bars.

Can I bring my pets?

No, we are sorry but we do not allow pets at the accommodation – this is to ensure that anyone with allergies is still able to comfortably stay with us. However, assistance dogs are of course welcome.

Can we walk up to the Drawing Room Rocks?

Absolutely! It is about a 10-15 minute walk from out property to the “start” of the walk. Visit here for more detail.
