Hillside Cottage - glorious.

Four best friends, a beautifully appointed "home", a delightful village with wonderful eateries, shopping, wineries, bush tracks. What more could you ask for. The cottage felt like home. Warm and cosy. The bedrooms were beautiful and beds so comfy. We would recommend without hesitation. Thank you Gayle and Grant.

Magnificent stay !

My sisters and I stayed in this lovely old cottage for a 3 day getaway. Everything was wonderful. The cottage was tastefully decorated with three comfortable beds , all bedrooms had their own ensuite. The owner left lots of extra goodies in the way of local produce, gourmet cakes from the bakery, a bottle of local wine and many other little touches that made our stay perfect. The cottage was in an excellent location, only 200 metres from the best cafes, restaurants and shops. Our own private little getaway.

Really great place in the heart of Berrima, only minutes from shops, cafes and pubs. Hosts were extremely friendly and accommodating, and each room has its own en-suite, making it very convenient for everyone to get ready to head out. Would highly recommend.

Perfect accommodation

We have just returned from 2 nights staying in beautiful Hillside Cottage. We attended my nephew’s wedding at Bendooley Estate on Saturday evening. As the host says, the accommodation is perfect for people who need comfortable accommodation, but who are also out for most of the weekend. The small and updated cottage kitchen was totally adequate for our needs. Some of us ate breakfast at the cottage, and it was perfect for food preparation and cooking for our very young children. The 3 bedrooms are very comfortable, each bedroom having a very good ensuite bathroom. We hired a babysitter for the evening wedding. It is also great that there is a 4th bathr’m off the living room which the babysitter could use. The cottage is located a very short & easy walk away from beautiful Berrima village. The roses and garden environs of the cottage are very beautiful. We sat on the sunny verandah for our morning cuppa each day.

Simply Beautiful, Comfortable and a very gracious host.

We LOVED Hillside. Hillside is a credit to her host, Gayle. Beautifully presented and graciously welcoming to guests. Gayle was ever willing to go above and beyond, especially when the weather became en-expectedly cold.With small children as members of our party and a baby, Gayle turned on the heating on request without question. Her attention to detail is a joy, as was our stay at Hillside.

Gorgeous house and excellent proximity to town

It was a lovely stay. The house was extraordinarily clean. The beds were comfortable and cozy. There were ensuites in every room AND a large palatial bathroom off the sitting room. There was so much attention to detail - including the adorable restored period kitchen and of course the wonderful local artisan goodies left for us. The location is excellent, just across the street from town, but yet set back enough for privacy and quiet. Lovely place would definitely rent again. Thank you again for a memorable weekend.
