About this property

Berta's Cottage at Berry - Rural views - 3 b/r 2 bathrooms

Located on a quiet country lane 4 minutes from the quaint township of Berry and the iconic Seven Mile Beach, this well-appointed, comfortable 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom cottage overlooks a dairy farm with rolling green pastures and distant hills.

Berta's cottage sleeps up to 6 people. Linen and towels are included, and many extra touches to make your stay comfortable and relaxing. The cottage is on 3/4 acre of garden with a wisteria-covered gazebo with wood burning BBQ, a games room, herb garden, fruit trees and fragrant flowers, expansive lawns, and is surrounded on 3 sides by farmland.

The two double bedrooms open on to the north-facing verandah at the front of the house with outdoor furniture - the perfect spot to enjoy the peace and quiet and spectacular rural views while enjoying a freshly brewed coffee or glass of wine. The third bedroom with 2 single beds overlooks the farm next door. All bedrooms have a ceiling fan, oil heater, quality linen and quilts.
The well equipped kitchen boasts a country pantry and plenty of pots, pans and utensils to 'cook at home' including pantry essentials such as olive oil. Coffee lovers are equipped with a coffee machine and coffee beans from a local roaster in Gerringong. For tea lovers there is a selection of specialty tea.

The lounge room offers comfortable lounges, recycled and eclectic furniture with a cozy wood combustion fire perfect for cool Winter evenings (wood supplied), and air conditioning for the warmer months.

Two bathrooms are offered with toiletries, one with a walk in shower, the other you may enjoy a leisurely bath looking out the large picture window.

What a fun and comfortable winter weekend at Berta’s Cottage! It was the thoughtful extras that made it so special for our family: a Breville coffee machine full of coffee with extra fresh beans in the pantry, a welcome gift of wine, crackers cheese and milk, lovely bathroom and kitchen products, plenty of cooking pans, serving plates and crockery, toys for both kids and dogs, a fenced backyard as well as a lockable homely garage to keep dogs safe and comfortable while out at night, heaters in all the bedrooms and a fabulous combustion fire with plenty of wood and kindling already collected for us. Communication with Rosemary was excellent and the late checkout on Sunday very much appreciated. Highly recommend.

Berta’s cottage was beautifully presented and equipped - right down to board games and gum boots supplied ready for rainy weather! Lovely peaceful location but still very close to Berry and Seven Mile Beach. We stocked up on fresh veggies and condiments from the organic markets and cooked some feasts with help from the fully stocked pantry.Out host was super-helpful assisting by phone when I had a hiccup with the door code.All in all. A beautiful family time in a perfect setting.

About the host

Hosted by Rosemary Frank

Host profile image

My name is Rosemary and I am married with 2 sons and a dog. We bought Berta's Cottage's in 2008 after I received a small inheritance from my beloved aunt, Berta. She lived in Canada and she and her husband had a holiday cabin by a lake. I love making the cottage nice for guests as I like it to be as I would want it if I was the guest. We visit every week and my son and daughter in law and baby also stay regularly.

Why they chose this property

We lived in Wollongong when we first married and occasionally visited Berry. We developed a love for the south coast. I love buying fruit and vegetables from the farmers market in Berry and trying out the different cafes. Walking on the beach at Shoalhaven Heads with the dog is lovely.

What makes this property unique

Berta's Cottage is unique being in a rural setting among farms but only on 3/4 acre. The house was an original farm cottage before the farmer built a bigger home next door. It is also unique being only a 5 min drive from the beach. I have decorated the cottage in an eclectic style using pieces of family furniture and tried to create a comfortable and inviting space.
