Bantam Cottage is a cosy, cute, 120 year old, pet friendly cottage and is the ideal house to make your home for a few days. The cafes, restaurants and wonderful shops of Berry are only a leisurely two minute stroll around the corner so just park and have a day or two car free.

The heart of the cottage is the sitting room which has a beautiful open fire, laid and just ready to light in winter. It is a cozy place to laze in front of with candles, a bottle of red wine or to toast marshmallows with the kids.

There are beautiful polished timber floors throughout scattered with rugs for warmth. The kitchen has an oven, stove, microwave, all the utensils needed, and a range of basic pantry items are supplied.

The two bedrooms have queen beds which are made up with fresh linen and bedding and have electric blankets. Soft fluffy towels are also supplied.

The bathroom has an easily accessible shower but no bath.

The front verandah looks out over the town to the hills behind and is a lovely place to watch the world go by while at the rear of the house is a large deck overlooking farmland and a quiet rural scene. This catches the morning sun and is a peaceful place to enjoy a morning tea or coffee.

Pets are welcome in the house and the back yard is fully fenced and secure with large shade trees.

Directly across the road is The Berry General Store with its delicious food and coffee.
The wonderful shops, cafes and restaurants are only around the corner and 2 minutes walk away.




PET FRIENDLY

A perfect family getaway - pets are welcome too.

Bring your furry best friend on holiday with you and stay in our homely cottage. With our easy to clean timber floors pets are welcome in the house to be a part of the family, sitting in front of the open fire or begging for a treat at the dining table. The back yard is a securely fenced, dog safe area set with large trees and lawn for playing ball games.
Berry is a dog friendly town so you can take your pet to many cafes so he isn't left home alone. There is an off leash area close to the house and many lovely streets to go for walks while admiring the houses and gardens. There is a great off leash area for dogs only 10 minutes away on the beach at Shoalhaven Heads where your dog can run to its hearts content.

    We had a fantastic stay at Bantam Cottage. The house was spotlessly clean, very comfortable, and perfectly located just a short stroll from the main part of town, shops, and cafes. We especially loved that it was pet friendly, with a secure yard and a beautiful balcony to enjoy a cup of tea on a crisp morning. It was also an easy drive to Seven Mile Beach, which was great for our dog. Janet was lovely to deal with, very responsive, and made the whole process simple and stress-free. We can’t wait to visit again!

    We loved the lovely spacious rooms. The cottage was pet friendly and our dog Sandy also enjoyed her stay. Janet was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. The cottage itself is in a great location, with a fantastic cafe just across the road with a minutes walk to the shops. This was our third stay in Berry and Janet's cottage was definitely the best. We didn't take any photos of the cottage but I'd have to say, the listing photos are accurate.

Thought the parking would be an issue ( as there’s no onsite parking) but it was fine.

    This is a lovely house. It bring backs memories of a cottage we once rented. And for us it was like home away from home as we live in a 60s style cottage. This cottage was pet friendly for our 2 mature dogs and it was in immaculate condition. The garden was safe and secure for our dogs to run around in. The deck was lovely to sit and relax in to watch the sunrise from the misty mornings.

    My parents took me away to the beautiful Bantam Cottage for my birthday. In the lead up to our trip, Janet’s warm communication was so appreciated. Upon arrival, the characterful cottage stimulated all of the senses. It was beautifully decorated, clean, warm flannelette sheets on the beds, the functioning fireplace was cozy, the outlook from the back door was exquisite, and we were only a short walk away from the Main Street. We were also grateful for the delicious chocolate upon entering! We are already planning our next stay at Bantam Cottage. I have a feeling this will be our ‘home away from home’ for many years to come. Thank you again, Janet. Kate, Liz and John Tulip x

    We had a great time having a mid-winter stay at this cottage.It's got a roomy rear deck which is a fabulous sun trap on the sunny winter days we were there. We also enjoyed the cosy living room and wood fire.The location is good, so near the centre of town, but with the open pastures and river tree line visible from the back deck, not like a normal suburban house.
