GREAT ACCOMMODATION

Janette was very welcoming and helpful, while the accommodation was perfect for myself, granddaughter and my cat Tia.Full approval was given by Tia as well as us. All spotlessly clean, comfortable and everything we needed. Only one problem - we would have loved to have stayed a lot longer. Thanks Janette for sharing your property with us, we loved our short stay. Nancye, Emma and Tia

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.

Berry Nice Getaway!

Janette the property manager was helpful and friendly. The property was clean and had a small indoor fireplace with plenty of wood available at no cost. We loved picking fruit from the orchard and our little dogs had an absolute ball running around the large property. The driveway was lined with trees in spectacular Autumn colour. Lots of rain for us but with Berry minutes away, we still found plenty to do and see. Thank you and we hope to be back again some day.

Berry with dogs

It was a lovely property and beautiful cottage. A relaxing place to stay. It was only two minutes from Berry but it felt like you were miles out of town. It was also only a 10km trip to Shoalhaven Heads beach via a pretty, quiet country road. The host, Janette, was very welcoming; kind and friendly but not intrusive. I really appreciated that I could have my dogs with me and Janette was very understanding of their curiosity of her property. Will definitely be back again and happy to recommend to others.
