Wonderfully appointed with everything we needed for a weekend. Thoroughly enjoyed soaking up the history of the village, some of which was my own family history.
The cottage met the needs of our group of 6 adults perfectly. Well appointed, clean and very conveniently located to the centre of town. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and obviously keen to please. We’ll be back!
Absolutely wonderful kept property.
The cottage had everything we needed for weekend stay. Facility for 5 of us but enough space if full at 8 adults
So close to shops and food.
Communication was easy and fast reply.
Thanks Gayle and Grant
Had a wonderful time in Berrima, staying at Hillside. Loved the cottage, has everything you could want and immaculately presented. Super convenient to the shops/eateries/walks, and still quiet. Would highly recommend.
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.
The property was very clean and we were allowed to check in early and had a late checkout
The owners made the effort to introduce themselves and make us feel welcomed
Would recommend friends and family to definitely stay here and if I need to stay near Bowral would definitely stay here

Fabulous place to stay with wonderful hosts. A great location if you have a Southern Highlands wedding to attend.
Lovely old cottage with modern amenities. 3 large bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Kitchen only small but perfect for breakfast and snacks. Short walk to town. Beds warm and comfortable.
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.
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.
The cottage was a beautifully restored 1843 cottage loving restored but with the comforts of ensuite bedrooms. Very easy walk to everything in Berrima and a lovely long weekend for our friend's wedding.
Lovely cottage and easily accessible. Gorgeous kitchen and thank you so much for the treats on arrival. As recommended by Gayle, we booked everything prior to arrival and all your suggestions were perfect. Very relaxing girlie weekend away. Thank you so much, what a beautiful property! :)
Gayle, was very friendly and helpful, and the cottage was gorgeous. 3 bedrooms or with ensuite, where beautifully furnished. A lovely cottage for a weekend away, or retreat. Thank you Verity.
Beautiful cottage in a great location in easy walking distance of everything Berrima has to offer
Hillside Cottage is the perfect place to stay for a weekend away with friends and family. Gayle is great host, communication before and during our stay was excellent.
Would highly recommend, within walking distance to town and a clean and comfortable property. Gayle and Grant were exceptional hosts. We will be back

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.
