Photos and Description of the NSW South Coast vacation house rental 2 bedroom house sleeps 2 to 4 people, 5 minutes drive to Berry, 15 to the beach

Khan Cottage is only two hours drive from Sydney. The house is fully self-contained and enjoys 135 acres of rolling rainforest, pasture and creeks, plus a wrap-around deck with views which go on forever. The accommodation includes two bedrooms: one queen-size room with its own deck and one double bedroom. Both are supplied with quality linen and towels. The house is lovingly furnished and equipped with a kitchen, bathroom, pot-belly stove, gas heater, sound system, VCR and DVD. From the deck you will be looking out over one of the most successful rainforest restoration projects in the region. Ten years ago, our creeks - like most in the Illawarra - were a mass of privet, lantana and other weeds. Today, they are returning to Illawarra Subtropical Rainforest, an endangered vegetation community. This continuing project (recognised by a Federal Government Envirofund grant) is the result of much hard work from ourselves and the bush regenerators we employ to ensure its success.

Despite our faraway feel, vibrant Berry with its many craft shops and cafes is a five-minute drive away. You are also close to Seven Mile Beach, boutique wineries, excellent restaurants, seasonal dolphin and whale watching and the stunning beaches of Jervis Bay. You could learn to surf at Gerringong, hire a canoe and explore the river at Kangaroo Valley, wine taste, go for a bushwalk or enjoy the beach. But you don't need to leave the house to enjoy the locality. Relax on the deck and you'll hear kookaburras call and see flocks of rosellas and brightly coloured parakeets fly among the treetops. After heavy rain the creeks are charged with water, the frogs compete to sing their chorus and the sun cracks the mist over the rainforest escarpment. The cottage is just over a two-hour drive from Sydney, south along the Princes Highway.

Further details for this vacation house rental in NSW South Coast, Australia

Beaches closest to the house are Seven Mile Beach (a 15-minute drive along empty rural roads) and Gerringong. A little further afield to the south lies the national park of Jervis Bay full of stunning white sand beaches including still lagoons ideal for young children (eg Green Patch). There is also a quiet lagoon at Gerringong - as well as crashing waves along the beach. (Book the surfing lessons which are held here in Gerringong town.) There is an outdoor swimming pool (and toddler pool) in Berry itself. Berry is a thriving town with many craft shops and cafes. On the first Sunday of each month (except February) the Berry markets are held in town. At nearby Kangaroo Valley you can hire canoes (by Hampden Bridge) and boat down the Kangaroo River. Also in Kangaroo Valley is the Pioneer Museum Park and, for golfers, the Kangaroo Valley Golf and Country Resort. This small rural town also has an outdoor pool which is open from October to April.

Within easy driving distance from Berry are the magnificent Fitzroy Falls at Morton National Park - which affords plenty of bushwalking opportunities. This is also close to the historic town of Robertson, where 'Babe' was filmed. But walkers need not take to the car for a trek. A recently cleared walking path adjoins our boundary. Follow this and you will walk alongside one of our regenerating creekbanks up into remnant rainforest and a waterfall. For a less energetic stroll you can't beat Bundewallah Road itself. Each Sunday, the Bundanon properties near Nowra, Arthur and Yvonne Boyd's gift to the nation, are open. For winetasting and acclaimed restaurant food there is the Silos Estate Winery, ten minutes drive south along the Princes Highway. For an informal lunch you could try Jaspers Brush Winery and also enjoy drinking in the view.

Golf: Kangaroo Valley Golf and country Retreat. Gerringong Golf Club. Shoalhaven Heads Golf Club. Nowra Golf and Recreation Club.

Other Activities: Surfing lessons at Gerringong, bushwalks, wine-tasting, canoeing at Kangaroo Valley
