About this property

Jerrymara- Rural/Coastal Luxurious Country Estate

Stop the Presses!******* July 2018 Jerrymara has completed a full interiors upgrade!!! A sympathetically beautiful refit and refurb including Kitchen and Bathrooms. ********

We are thrilled to be included in Urban Lists 10 most beautiful Airbnb properties-August 2017!!!!


Jerrymara is a stunning rural home and estate in Willowvale near the seaside village of Gerringong. It comprises a lovely main Homestead of 3 bedrooms and a 2 bedroom Studio cottage- in total Jerrymara's 5 bedrooms can accommodate up to 11 people. Each bedroom has it's own ensuite bathroom and the cottages are set in a private country garden with champion sized flood-lit tennis court and 12m pool. There's 52 acres of coastal farmland to discover in all.

The main Homestead is a modernised dairy cottage and offers 3 light filled bedrooms each with an ensuite, a large open plan combined lounge and dining area and a magnificent, brand new country kitchen. All the rooms open to hardwood timber decks overlooking the tranquil gardens and picturesque ornamental lake. This Homestead is complete with modern features including WiFi and Foxtel IQ3, and heating to all rooms to keep the winters warm.
The kitchen includes a 90cm oven, a large multi zoned induction cooktop, 2 intergrated dishwashers, a Double Liebher fridge, a wine fridge , a Nespresso coffee machine. The Island bench is HUGE, and perfect to gather around (and has spare cupboards for you to put your groceries away)
This main dwelling can sleep up to 7 guests across 1 King bedroom (splittable into 2 singles), a Double bedroom plus full sized day bed, and a bedroom with 2 singles
Additional guest accommodation consists of a modern 2 bedroom (both with ensuite) dwelling - The Studio- with lime vaulted ceilings. This cottage has its own kitchenette (and Nespresso machine), lounge room, and heating, all set next to the verdant country views through wide bi-fold cedar doors. Bedroom 1 is a King bed (with trundle, handy for a child) , and bedroom 2 a Queen bed sleeping 4 adults in all.

Off the main deck is an ‘outdoor kitchen’ complete with BBQ and wood fired PIZZA OVEN!

In addition to the just completed interiors upgrade, we have lit up our beautiful gardens! Every night at dusk, a fairyland awaits you.

Outside the immediate gardens is a further 50 acres of calming rural space , where you can stroll, picnic and are magnificent views up and down the Illawarra coast line from the top paddocks-well worth the hike with a bottle of wine at sunset! Please do not approach any cattle or wild animals ( yes we have kangaroos!) on the property.

Jerrymara is minutes away from beautiful rural villages including Kiama and Berry, and under 2 hours drive south from Sydney. We are a private retreat yet only minutes away from good coffee and dining, supermarkets and boutiques.

Privacy is assured at Jerrymara and we aim to allow guests a carefree and free-ranging stay. We would stress however, that we are located in a quiet rural/residential/dairy farming valley. The peaceful amenity of our neighbours is paramount to us. Loud and amplified music, Hens or Bucks parties, are prohibited. Jerrymara will no longer take wedding bookings, unless they are under 15 attendees. I’m so sorry brides! We would be delighted however, for you to stay with us to prepare with bridal party and family, and take advantage of the gardens for all your pre ceremony photography ( and post if your venue is nearby!)

Jerrymara is perfect for a group of friends or family wanting a uniquely beautiful stay close to beach, golf, wineries and shopping.

Blissful country estate near the sea.
Jerrymara is a beautiful property in stunning surroundings. The garden is delightful and the 55 acres sublime. Very comfortable cottages, tastefully furnished and very well equipped. Kate the host could not have been kinder, leaving Xmas presents for us and our two granddaughters, and leaving us muffins and wine. Excellent kitchen and first class pizza oven and barbecue. 5 stars.

Beautiful property and owners
We had an absolutely lovely experience at Jerrymara. The perfect place for my family to come together including grandparents and 2 young kids. It has a great living and dining area with plenty of space for everyone to come together but also to have privacy. Even with heavy rain we enjoyed the swimming pool, tennis court and the pizza oven. Kate was an excellent host who made sure we had everything we needed and provided great recommendations for catering to come to the property too. Can’t wait to come back, Georgia and family

Magical Escape
We spent nine nights at the spectacular Jerrymara and never wanted to leave. Kate was an outstanding hostess who gave us every bit of space and privacy and yet we felt she was available to us at any time should we have needed anything (which we didn't because Jerrymara had absolutely everything we could ever needed and much more). We cannot wait to visit again - Jerrymara would make the perfect getaway during any season.

Incredible getaway at Jerrymara
I booked Jerrymara to celebrate my 40th birthday with family. From the outset, Kate was absolutely incredible. She provided amazing suggestions for local caterers, decorators, a cake maker and beauty therapists to visit the house. All of these recommendations were amazing and helped make our weekend away so special. Kate is a very generous host - her time leading into our stay, some special hospitality touches throughout the house, and lovely gifts to celebrate my milestone birthday. Kate is one of a kind and she made our stay that extra bit special. Jerrymara is exceptional - the grounds are beautiful for kids, adults and four legged family members to explore. The tennis court and pool make it perfect for fun and relaxation. The property is well-appointed, you literally only need to pack your toothbrush and whatever you choose to eat and drink for your holiday. Kate's styling is cosy and both the main homestead and the guest house made us feel relaxed, there is also ample room for larger groups. I couldn't recommend Jerrymara highly enough, by far the best holiday accommodation I have stayed at. I can't wait to holiday at Jerrymara again and catch up with the wonderful Kate.

It would be difficult to find a more stunning property to stay with friends or family
My oldest & dearest school friends & partners & I were absolutely delighted to stay at stunning Jerrymara last week for our annual W/E away together.The property is very well positioned in amongst dairy farming & wineries. It is lush & green, but only minutes from beautiful beaches. Kate, our hostess was above & beyond , helpful & generous right from the start of planning our stay. The house & property were mind blowingly breath taking . Both Kate & her partner Glyn work tirelessly to maintain the gorgeous old farm house & magnificent landscaped gardens, pool, pond & tennis court. The interiors of the house are luxurious & elegant. Their attention to detail was felt everywhere on the property , from freshly cut flowers left in vases for us , to dropping off a Boules set when we mentioned that it would be fun to play it on their French provincial inspired colonnade. Words can not accurately describe this place, but I do remember saying "WOW" repeatedly.At the end of our stay , Kate sent a text saying that they donate to a charity of our choice for each guest, She always ends her texts with, Kindness,Kate ,& I believe her!

About the host

Hosted by Kate Edis

Host profile image
Hello! My husband Glyn and I bought this incredible property in August 2017. It was a little neglected and tired, so we’ve been pouring love and a lot of backbone into bringing Jerrymara into her full beauty ! In June 2018 we are completely updating the interiors, including new kitchen, bathrooms and an outdoor bbq area with a pizza oven!
The gardens here are so special we feel the interiors should match !

Why they chose this property

Her unique beauty, wonderful feeling of peace and calm, and fabulous position. Fabulous pool and Tennis Court, and rolling lawns with superb trees makes your spirits lift as you enter.

What makes this property unique

A gorgeous oasis yet minutes to everything, where you can connect with loved ones doing as much or as little as you wish.
Love sitting on the back deck with morning coffee or evening vino and just soak up the loveliness of Jerrymara
