Berry Downs
The property includes so many features that our whole family were able to enjoy. The house was beautiful, it was very spacious and very clean. The little ones loved the dairy play area, the pool and the trampoline. We would certainly like to return to the property and will recommend it to friends.

Gorgeous and relaxing
We had a wonderful stay, the view is breathtaking and it’s super close to berry and 7 mile beach, you get the feel of a country farm stay but only moments away from everything Berry has to offer. Will be staying again. Loved it.

Beautiful Berry
This property is gorgeous for a secluded week away but close to Berry and the coast. We had a wonderful time and especially loved the view of the mountains, the lovely pool, the birds and daily visits of kangaroos. Will definitely be back!

Stunning property
Absolutely gorgeous property, Caroline was wonderful with engorging we needed before the stay with a lot of information. The house is just stunning, the kids played all day outside and everything is tasteful and well decorated. The kitchen is great and big as we enjoy cooking made everything so much easier. Would definitely like to visit this property again.

Beautiful property, suitable for family groups. Highly recommended
This is a great home. We loved getting up to the sight of kangaroos, rabbits and birds. The kids - even the teen agers - loved the pool, the wonderful shed where they played cricket, basketball, darts, skates, and the tennis court. There are great outdoors activities nearby - Illawarra Tree Top, Jambaroo, beautiful beaches, kangaroo Valley and lovely town. The owners were wonderful and easy to communicate with.... Great family holiday, highly recommend this property.

Lovely house in gorgeous setting
Stunning location, we were all so excited and happy as we drove onto the property before we had even entered the house. House has a lovely big kitchen and lots of fabulous communal areas from where you can enjoy the view. Kids and adults loved the tennis court and the pool and the kids had a ball running around enjoying the kayak and trampoline, both of which are perfectly positioned to watch but not hear the kids will you have a drink on the deck. Can't wait to return.

Perfect for a 3 families
We had THE best time at Berry Downs. The teens (and adults) were well entertained with tennis, basketball, swimming, canoeing on the dam. The freshly mowed beautiful grounds were perfect. Parents lounge/dining was a hit. We'll definitely be back. Thanks for having us Caroline!!

So fabulous for a family getaway
The house was lovely, very well equipped and so functional. We had 2 1/2 days of rain over 3 days but we managed to still enjoy the house and surrounds so much. The host was helpful, great to communicate with and I can't recommend Berry Downs highly enough. My family have asked me to book it again. It would be great in either summer or winter. So perfect for a family birthday celebration.

Wonderful country property
We spent a lovely week long winter break at Berrydowns. We holidayed with 4 adults and 7 kids between the ages of 7 and 12 years - there was plenty to do at the property (the canoe on the dam was a bonus). The property is in a great location close to Berry township (30 minute country walk into town) and 10 minute drive to Seven Mile beach. The owner was lovely, very helpful. We will definitely go back - next time in the summer so that we can use the fantastic pool!

Perfect place for a family or two
Great location, 7 minutes out of Berry and 10 minutes from Seven Mile Beach. Lovely home with all the amenities. Great pool, tennis court - we didn’t get to use it because of the torrential rain - and basketball/table tennis in the shed. Quiet and picturesque place. Definitely recommend

Berry Holiday
Our family had a wonderful stay at Berry Downs-however, we were there with the bushfires raging nearby, so it was very smoky & with no aircon it was stifling hot (40+ degrees Celsius). We left a day early as evacuation was recommended due to the bush fires.

A patch of Paradise 5 mins from 7 Mile and 5 Mins from Berry -Sports Mad Family Friendly
What a terrific place, Two families spent over a week here and could have stayed for a month. So much to do, pristine beaches and parks only minutes away. The house is spacious and well laid out, with creative touches around every corner. Highly recommended for anybody who craves a little time away from it all while maintaining all creature comforts.

Loved the Tennis court
We loved our stay at Berry Downs. A great house with so much to offer, regardless of the weather. With tennis every day, table tennis, the shed with basketball and scooters, pool, dam with canoe, great deck, many dinning and living spaces. Perfect for a group with kids. Plus so close to both the beach and the town. Perfect for our extended family holiday. We would love to come back with some of our tennis friends. See you soon!
