Anthony and Louise
A luxurious getaway for couples to escape and unwind. Proud winners of Gold Awards for 5 Star Luxury Accommodation in the NSW Tourism Awards in both 2022 and 2021. Unique, private and ultra exclusive, Mt Hay Retreat is a boutique escape that is quite simply second to none. With only a handful of individual suites, each is filled with natural light and has been designed as your own private escape. Dominated by breathtaking views and offering a secluded and peaceful sanctuary well away from the cares and complexities of contemporary life, it is still only minutes from the heart of world famous Berry Village. Serenely set on 360 acres against the majestic backdrop of Broughton Head, this magnificent property is a working farm embraced by native bushland and lush green pastures. With views that stretch uninterrupted across the rolling hills of the South Coast and beyond to the distant ocean horizon, Mt Hay Retreat is a lifestyle destination of rare distinction. Mt Hay Retreat was proudly awarded Gold in 5 Star Luxury Accommodation at the Qantas Australian Tourism Awards in 2022!
We are under ten minutes from the heart of Berry - a town like no other. Berry combines timeless country charm with contemporary culture. Our guests can explore Berry and discover a vibrant cafe scene, boutique shopping experiences and exceptional restaurants – a great way to spend an afternoon just pottering about. There are also plenty of wineries close by to tickle your taste buds, or some simply stunning bush walks to get your heart pumping and allow you to reconnect with nature and the world. We are also only 15 minutes to the grand sweeping sands, rock pools and bushland of awe-inspiring Seven Mile Beach National Park, it is also little more than 20 minutes to the sleepy coastal hamlets of Gerringong and Kiama.
