About this villa rental
Stay in the heart of the village but with the quietness and privacy of acres!
Gather like-minded friends from book groups, knitting clubs, foodies or whatever your passion and get away from the bustle of day-to-day life.
Small Pets are allowed, they need to be house trained, well behaved.
The small Cottage yard has pebble stones. There is no grass area, though there is a back gate leading onto a small park.
Upstairs:
1 x queen size bedroom with ensuite (small bath, shower & toilet) and television
1 x bedroom with 2 x king singles and own bathroom (shower & toilet)
Both bathrooms feature beautiful artisan soaps which have been hand crafted.
Downstairs:
1 x King sofa that can be used as 2 x singles or arranged side by side as 1 x queen bed (not a pull-out) with powder room close by.
Outdoor shower that is perfect for that after beach refresh.
Fully equipped kitchen, but with so many fabulous cafes and restaurants close by, take some time off from cooking.
Relax in the comfortable living area and catch up on some reading or tune into the digital television with Apple TV and Netflix. Grab a book from the library or play one of the boardgames or puzzles.
A bluetooth Beats speaker is available to play your own music.
WEEKEND RATES: cover 4 x guests with an additional charge for Guests 5 and 6.
Foodie delights for all:
Relax out on the sheltered north facing verandah with a fragrant coffee or soothing tea through the morning and replace with a chilled glass of wine or craft beer through the afternoon.
Buy local wines directly from the cellar doors, or visit Justin Lill Wines at 112a Queen Street where all wines are hand selected by Justin with a detailed knowledge of grapes and vintages.
Delicious cheeses and olives and the best duck pate ever from The Emporium Food Co delicatessen at 127b Queen Street, or local produce from the Taste of Shoalhaven in Broughton Court will add to your enjoyment as the sun slips behind the picturesque escarpment.
Stroll across the road to Berry's newest breakfast and lunch venue, Salmon and Co. at 71 Queen Street where Rabbit & Co provide a funky cafe with a distinctly vintage style, serving HYPER HYPER coffee.
Slip next door then, to exquisite boutique shopping at Moss Nest.
Other favourite eateries and restaurants include:
* South on Albany, 3/65 Queen Street (cnr Albany St) has an emphasis on sourcing the freshest seasonal and local produce and has been awarded One Hat.

Walks are also a feature of the area:
Drawing Room Rocks is not to be missed. These are the best directions to find where to start your ascent:
Take Woodhill Mountain Rd (north side of the village), drive 6.7 kms and you will come to a T intersection, you are on the top of the T and turning left would take you to Kangaroo Valley via Wattamolla.
Either park your car here at the T-intersection, or there is limited parking 500 metres away at the true start to the walk (at the cattle grid).
From the T-intersection, walk or drive 200 metres to a right hand fork in the road (do not take either of the right-hand driveways which are near the T-intersection), it is then 300 metres to the cattle grid. From this point it is a steady walk upwards until you reach the lookout where the view and rock formation are stunning.
Your descent will be much quicker than the ascent.

Bundewallah Walking Track through pristine rainforest.
The Kiama to Gerringong Coast walk.

Our stay was wonderful.
Check in, facilities, location- just perfect. The weather was also amazing and allowed us to sit and enjoy a few drinks on the lovely verandah, which was a beautiful sun trap and great for a winters day.

3.0 / 5.0
Our family loved touring around Berry and Jamberoo. Our day at the water park was the best fun ever.
The property was really conveniently located. Right on the Main Street, but behind the front properties on the street so very private. It was walking distance to lots of food options.
The first day it was humid and 30C. Sleeping was uncomfortable without any upstairs air conditioning. It was lovely downstairs but not everyone could sleep on the couch.

We loved the place and would absolutely stay there again.
5.0 / 5.0
We really enjoyed our stay here. It is perfectly located in Berry and has all you need for a family of 4. We brought an extra TV so the kids could play computer games upstairs when they wanted to chill out. Its not a massive place for 4 people, but we were intent on going to the beach and checking the local area. There is plenty to do in Berry and the property was good to come back to for dinner and rest. A couple of minor things in the kitchen could be better - the microwave door needs a fix, and some more cooking utensils would be good. A good place to stay.
5.0 / 5.0
You could not get a more central location but, because it is set back from the road, it was still lovely and quiet.
Spotlessly clean and lovely linen, towels etc.
Bernadette was very easy to deal with.

Clean. Neat. Well equipped. Comfortable.
Great location.
The path to the property/driveway is very dark at night. I think the sensor light located at the corner of the house in front is not working.
We had a wonderful stay.
Thank you.

Lovely hideaway in centre of Berry
This property was great. We had everything we needed for our weekend stay. The fact that it was in the centre of town was really great as you could access everything in less than a minutes walk. Some air con upstairs would be lovely in the hot summer but that would not stop me staying here again. Host was lovely and gave great instructions. Thanks Bernadette!

Christmas in Berry
We had a wonderful stay at the Matilda Cottage in Berry. The property is located in a very convenient location- close to shops, restaurants and major roads. The unit is very well appointed and there were many special touches and well thought out amenities for the guests. Our family enjoyed spending our holidays here!
5.0 / 5.0
Very clean comfortable cottage with great location to add to Berry experience.
Great layout with 2 bathrooms and bedrooms upstairs and ensuite toilet downstairs . Well equipped kitchen. Great location. Only note would be better suited to only 5 adults for bedding unless people are shorter having to use the lounge as a double bed- although very comfortable.
5.0 / 5.0
Lovely spot and so good to be in walking distance of all Berry has to offer. Place was cosy and all
Very good
