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.
