Hillgate

The Property

Hillgate is a relaxed award-winning rural retreat in historic Berry. The incredible 15m pool, picturesque gardens and beautifully styled interiors create the perfect escape for groups of friends, wedding guests, corporate retreats, yoga/cycling/winery weekends or families holidaying together.

The oversized interiors & multiple outdoor entertaining areas offers ample space, ensuring a memorable & truly relaxing escape for every guest (you’ll never feel crowded at Hillgate!). Our bedrooms are flexible (King Beds can be arranged as two King Singles if needed).

You’ll feel miles away from anywhere, while being at the heart of all the area has to offer. Hillgate is just a 5 minute drive or 10 minute bike to Berry village boutiques and restaurants. We’re also only 15 mins to the beach.

The property boasts a barn-style dining room and large open kitchen with an additional seven-seat breakfast bar. At the opposite end of the house you’ll find a further seven seats in the cafe-style ‘bistro’ – perfect for cosy coffees &/or wine in the evenings. The beautifully appointed living spaces at Hillgate include two comfortable living rooms (both with free Netflix TVs) and a generous lounge room that overlooks the expansive terrace, resort-style pool and lush paddocks beyond. Outdoors you’ll find additional lounging and dining spaces, and a fire pit for toasting marshmallows.

Added in 2024, the huge 15m mineral pool is big enough for lap swimming & features picturesque rural views. Its heated for year-round swimming.

Store bikes, body boards, kayaks and other outdoor equipment in a custom-built enclosure adjacent to the house & out of the weather.

Hillgate is a pet free property, but you may encounter our local kangaroos, echidnas, wombats, kookaburras, parrots, frogs & friendly neighbour horses & cows. Lyrebird calls often fill the early evening hours (you may hear the neighbour’s chickens, but more often than not, its the lyrebirds imitating them!).

Four of the bedrooms feature their own adjoining patio or deck.  The bedroom on the first floor up enjoys soaring ceilings & elevated rural views. The bedrooms are setup as follows:
Bedroom 1 (sleeps 3 people)- King OR two single beds, plus extra single bed
Bedroom 2 (sleeps 2 people) – King OR two single beds
