Things To Do on a Girls’ Getaway in Berry

Girls Getaways

Work, kids, errands… who doesn’t dream of escaping from time to time? Berry is the perfect place to have a bit of time out and reconnect with your girlfriends, whether it’s for a special birthday, a hens weekend or just to spend time together.

Take the hard work out of organising and get in touch with one of our Food, Wine and Shopping Tour providers. Luxe South Coast can even organise the whole weekend for you!

There are plenty of options for doing as little or as much as you like during your stay. Here are some ideas below.

Relaxation & rejuvenation

This is probably the number one reason why girls like to indulge in an escape. Sometimes we just need a break! Let beautiful Berry rejuvenate you with quality massage and day spa treatments, yoga, fresh air and peace. Take a look through the UNWIND section of this site for ideas, or use these quick links:

A creative boost

Creative workshops are a fun way to enjoy time together as a group, with the added benefit that you get to take your work home to use or display. Whether it’s art, furniture restoration, sewing or quilting there’s always something creative on in Berry. Check out the classes and workshops at:

• This Old House Studio
• Berry Quilt and Co.
• Berry Quilting Retreat and Exhibition (each August)

Cafe culture & gourmet food

If you and your friends are food and wine lovers, you will be spoilt for choice in Berry. You can eat breakfast, lunch and dinner in a different place every day, and high quality produce and foodstuffs (and even cooking schools) are available for keen cooks. And we’re lucky to have the most talented baristas on the South Coast, so your coffee fix is sorted.

You might also like to take a private tour around some of our local gourmet food and wine producers – a great way to experience the beauty and tastes of the South Coast region. Check out the TASTE section of this website for all your options, and here are some quick links:

Retail therapy

Berry is firmly on the map as a shopping destination for fashionistas and interiors addicts, with its stylish boutiques and emporiums offering both indulgent treasures and unique finds, and often without the big-city price tag. The increasing popularity of sewing, quilting and knitting in recent years also means Berry’s textiles and crafts stores are a mecca for creative gals. Browse through the SHOP section of the website to Berry’s range of stores, or follow these quick links to some favourites:

• Art & Textiles
• Fashion & Jewellery
• Homewares & Furniture

Reconnecting with nature

Sometimes what we need is the peace and serenity of the countryside to help us slow down and focus on the more meaningful things in life. Friendships, good food, and shared memories. Berry’s idyllic location surrounded by rolling green hills, the dramatic escarpment and pristine coast is a feast for the senses, not to mention the beautiful heritage buildings and cottages for which it is also famed. There are plenty of ways for a group of friends to get out and into the scenery. Check out the EXPLORE section of this website, and here are a selection of top nature experiences to inspire you:

• Take a picnic to historic Berry Courthouse & Gardens
• Soak up the spaciousness of pristine Seven Mile Beach
• Take the train from Berry to Kiama to enjoy the stunning coastal scenery en route
• Wind your way to Kangaroo Valley on a scenic drive via Cambewarra Lookout

Adventure!

Why not top off your stay with a shared experience to remember, like a trip to the top of Mount Coolangatta in the 4WD Bigfoot, a hike along the Coast Walk from Gerringong to Kiama, or a surf at Werri Beach.
