Whether its a romantic getaway or a relaxing break with friends and family, Red Dog Retreat is the place for you. It also offers you the option of bringing your dog and save on those kennel fees!
In summer, you can be on the beach in 20 minutes and then come home to the seclusion and cooler mountain breezes on Cambewarra Mountain which overlooks most of Shoalhaven. Seven Mile Beach at Shoalhaven Heads is dog friendly, so your canine friend will be happy too!
Enjoy the fantastic shops and award winning restaurants of Berry or Kangaroo Valley and then wind down at sunset on your covered veranda with a refreshing glass of something cool while you spot our resident wombats and birdlife.
In winter you can snuggle up in front of the wood burning stove. After that take time out to soak up the atmosphere in our spa baths or have a massage from a therapist that will visit the cottage, before hitting the sack to recharge the batteries and awaken to the sound of native birdsong, welcoming in the next day.
The cottage has two bedrooms and is designed with a rustic feel to blend in with the tranquil rainforest setting. To compliment this each is furnished with an array of eclectic furniture providing all the creature comforts of home. The main bedroom has a ceiling fans and French doors opening up onto the verandah to catch the cool summer breezes. Whilst during the winter months you can enjoy the warmth of the wood burning stove in the cosy living room.

The cabin was quite remote, but fully equipped with everything we’d need. We’d been warned the fridge was on the smaller side, but it was perfectly adequate for our needs. The weather was very changeable, but the living room was cosy and comfortable for relaxing and reading. So enjoyable to be away from the city sounds, with birdsong the only sound. Slept very well and left feeling refreshed.
Everything you could possibly want from a weekend away. The property was clean and well equipped, the hosts are super thoughtful and considerate. I can’t wait to come and stay again. I have never felt sadder leaving a place! It was so calming and beautiful. Sally, thank you for your kindness!
Sally was very attentive to little details (reminding us that the children will have to share the double bed or that there's no microwave) which helped a lot in planning for the trip. The place is very clean and you can't get better fresh air!
This rustic cottage catered to all of our needs to enjoy a quiet few days in forest surroundings. The wildlife did not disappoint with Lyre birds and wombats spotted. Inside the cottage was clean and comfortable. Was a peaceful stay.
My adult daughter and I had a really lovely stay in this delightful little rustic cottage. It’s very comfortable and is in a gorgeous peaceful location. We were surrounded by birdsong and were lucky enough to see 7 wombats on one of our walks down the local road at dusk. We found the beds very comfortable, as well as the sofas in the lounge room. We didn’t use the fire but very much appreciated the heaters which worked very well. The kitchen is well equipped and had everything we need to cook simple meals. Sally was a great communicator and gave us all the information we needed for a great stay. We loved the delicious eggs she kindly left us. I would be very happy to stay here again.
Property was small and didn’t fully resemble the pictures There was moss on the outer walls which due to lack of care causes a damp smell inside. My wife and I decided to find somewhere else after been there for half hour. Place needs a bit of TLC and not semi pro photos to make it look better
Beautiful little cabin with everything you need and more. The view is amazing and the wood fire is great for the cold nights. Would definitely stay again.
we liked the cottage, sad that the two nights we were there the roads were closed for road work, but the days were beautiful, overall we enjoyed our stay
Had such a lovely time at Red Dog Retreat. Cozy little cottage on a beautiful and peaceful property. Very relaxing and our dogs loved it!
Absolutely gorgeous property. Everything you need. Tranquil, peaceful, beautiful Beds very comfortable Very clean Gorgeous decor Great hosts Home away from home. ❤️ Didn't want to leave. Will be back someday
Red Dog cottage is a cosy retreat in a very special spot on the NSW south coast. While it is easily accessible from Berry, it is also removed enough to feel like a proper getaway. The view is spectacular, and while we weren't so lucky, I believe wombat sightings are frequent. The cottage is clean, well maintained and provisioned. It is quite small, so if more than two folks are going to stay at the same time, know that it's going to be very cosy. It's also important to note that the two beds are doubles rather than queen sized, and tall folks might struggle with the length of the bed. Otherwise, Red Dog is delightful!
Have everything we expected
Cute cottage. Nice location though bring up high it does get some wind. The driveway is fairly long and narrow, though OK. We didn't meet with the owner except via email. Kitchen is small and fridge door not great because milk can't go into it. Not much clothes storage in bedroom. Small living room was pleasant and comfortable with a wood burning stove as well as electric heating. Verandah was nice but the weather was a bit chilly. It was great to be able to take our labrador.
My family of 4 spent a very comfortable long weekend here. The cottage was clean and rustic with personality hidden in every corner. Amazing rainforest location with wildlife scurrying by and only a 15 minute drive to Berry or Kangaroo Valley. Sally, the owner, was very responsive and welcoming. Do yourself a favour and experience this hidden gem. We will be back.
Perfect getaway when you need to escape the hustle and bustle. Nestled amoungst rainforest, yet close enough to kangaroo valley and berry this place ticks all the boxes. The fireplace keeps you cosy and the hosts attention to detail and communication are second to none. Will definately be back.
