Blueberry Country House – A Berry Retreat
About this house rental
Blueberry is a character-filled country home with spectacular views in all directions. Named after the native Blueberry Ash that surrounds the house. Nestled along the rainforest escarpment of Drawing Room Rocks, this five acres of perfect seclusion features a character-filled, architect-designed weatherboard home that says 'welcome home', from its striking entrance of recycled timbers to its full-length verandah which is a favourite spot for relaxing and indulging in the sweeping outlook to Coolangatta Mountain and the ocean beyond. The light-filled interiors feature beautiful French doors and sash windows that allow the outside in, providing a harmonious balance with nature. There are two defined living areas: dining and kitchen with chef-inspired bench heights, a pantry, laundry with washer/ dryer and a lounge with slow combustion fireplace. The living areas are connected to a bedroom wing via a breezeway lined with louvre windows and supported by turpentine beams from a dismantled wharf in Wollongong. In this wing, there is the main bedroom with king-size bed, office desk and ensuite bathroom with bath/rainfall shower and a rollaway single bed suitable for a teen and younger can be made on request. In the second bedroom a king-size bed which is beside the main bathroom with rainfall shower. Each room leads out to a private verandah. There is a third bedroom accessed from the lounge/ living area with two king-single beds. A single sofabed ottoman can be made on request in the lounge/ living area suitable for a teen and younger. Approximately three and a half acres of the property is cleared, creating a lawn area ideal for a game of backyard cricket, kicking a soccer ball or admiring a couple of beehives from afar (located over 200m from the house), there is ample space for all to enjoy or relax and sit around the outdoor fire pit. The remainder of the property is natural rainforest, including a small spring leading to a rocky outcrop waterfall. Established gardens filled with fragrant flowering plants are set against a backdrop of lush tree ferns. Wildlife is in abundance, you often see an echidna rambling across the lawn, or a black rock-wallaby sharing the garden along with wombats that appear at dusk. The birdlife is quite spectacular, with parrots, wrens, lyrebirds and bower birds. It's pretty special to see the wild geese grooming themselves in the waterlily pond. In the immediate surrounds the walks are fantastic, either down to Brogers Creek for a dip in one of the many cascading water holes or up to the plateau of Drawing Room Rocks. By car, it's 14 kilometres to Seven Mile Beach and closer still to the Shoalhaven River and naturally, there is all that Berry Village and Kangaroo Valley have to offer. Only two and a half hours drive to/from Sydney. House Bedding Configuration: Main Bedroom - 1 King Size Bed (On Request - Rollaway Single Bed) Second Bedroom - 1 King Size Bed Bedroom 3 - 2 x King Singles (On Request - Ottoman Sofabed, note this makes for a limited space) Living/Lounge Room - 1 x Single Bed (On Request - Ottoman Sofabed) On Request - as above a Rollaway Single Bed suitable for Children/ Teens can be placed in the Main Bedroom and an Ottoman Single Sofabed is available in the Living/Lounge Room, or squeezed into the Bedroom 3.

Lovely house full of charm, character and magnificent views. Very private and quiet setting close to Berry with plenty of room inside and out for family to enjoy a Christmas gathering. Hope to return.

We had the most wonderful, relaxing time at Blueberry, with our extended family, including our seven year old grandson who loved the entire experience.
The sprawling house is adorably full of country character with a splash of antique Asian touches. The inclusions go way beyond what one would expect on a holiday and we truly felt at home.
This is the perfect place to spread out, relax, enjoy nature and beautiful gardens in the immediate surrounds and further afield. You’re sure to meet some beautiful wildlife including King Parrots, echidnas and lyrebirds.
There are wonderful day trips and great shopping nearby.

We spent the week in this beautiful home with a wonderful fire place, lovely cozy bedrooms, spectacular gardens and everything you needed for comfort and luxury. We golfed at surrounding golf courses, shopped in Berry and did pottery in nth Nowra. We will definitely be back again!

The house was in a great location, very private with stunning views and there was a lot of wild life! The house had everything we needed, was tastefully decorated and well appointed. Our host was so thoughtful, explaining everything to us in person and even leaving an Easter Egg for my son. What a perfect retreat!

Hosts were welcoming and helpful throughout - This beautiful rustic renovation has all the mod-cons you need to have a quiet get-away, including a huge 'entertaining' kitchen and dining room. Berry is 10 mins away, the house is beautifully furnished, and you have beautiful views to the ocean from top of the mountain - although we weren't able to see it after the first day due to freak cloudy and rainy weather over the rest of the stay! However, a lovely fireplace fixed that. Highly recommend!
