Following is the wonderful review we received from a very happy guest: Connoisseur's Cottage The Connoisseur "Sandstone" Cottage is a love affair between the Arts and English heritage. The dwelling features an indoor wood fire place, master bedroom, shower amenities, indoor plus outdoor dining, veranda with a garden patch that have various herbs such parsley, coriander, mint, and thyme. In addition to the above luxury amenities the stay included an outdoor wood fire "sandstone" oven. As my wife and I sat outdoors during breakfast we can we see the transition from the dwelling to the lake and were taken away by the hills in the backdrop. There afterwards, we played a sporting game of tennis then took a wonder around the garden and the lake. Later the evening we would relax by the indoor pool, which can be used throughout the year. In addition to the above, we learnt the site will feature a playground for Croquet, which is a gentleman's/woman's game. The Garden Spa is also within proximity via vehicle to Queen Street in Berry, which has diverse restaurants and cafes plus much needed body message services in the area. Berry has a local history of both English convicts and Aboriginal settlement so check out the local museum (Free entry). My wife and I travel quite a lot and we rarely give 5/5 but this place is an exception. Overall, we loved it and look forward to coming back!

They even enjoyed our music. :-). Lovely touches in the cottage and we appreciated the eggs, sourdough, wine and chocolates. It’s so. Lose to Berry, kangaroo Valley and seven mile beach. All round, a great place to stay. We look forward to returning. Thanks Rosalind and Nicholas for making our anniversary weekend special. Jude and Tony. ##### Judith S.

Garden Hill Retreat is truly the hidden gem with magnificent and magical gardens and a wonderful well-appointed sandstone cottage with a wood-burning stove. The cottage is serene and sublime. It overlooks the beautiful veggie garden, rose garden, Mediterranean garden and lotus pond. There are wonderful features: croquet lawn, tennis courts and an indoor swimming pool to enjoy. There are amazing birds twittering in the camellia hedges and rose bushes. You can see Mama Duck waddling down the lotus pond with her ducklings watched over by Papa Drake. The whole 20-acre property is embraced by stunning magnolias, jacarandas, maples, eucalyptuses, Norfolk pines, Pin oaks, Bunya pines and even the oldest species: gingko trees! It is indeed a privilege that Nicholas and Rosalind the gracious and hospitable hosts are immensely generous and kind to make my stay such a memorable experience! I would highly recommend that you stay at this magnificent property at the foot of beautiful Cambewarra Mountain, close to Jervis Bay, Berry, Bowral and Kangaroo Valley. ##### Rosalind T.

Rosalind and Nicholas were beyond welcoming, providing a basket of goodies on our arrival, and excitedly helped us prepare for our marriage. They went above and beyond as hosts to make our day extra special. We felt so much support balanced with being given the space to enjoy our day in secrecy. The property is beautiful, albeit less private than we expected - but the hosts were respectful and gracious at all times. There was some renovating happening on the property that we were not aware of ahead of time, but this did not affect our stay or ceremony. We will always cherish the memories we made at Garden Hill.

Arriving late afternoon on the Friday, we immediately soaked up the idyllic, tranquil atmosphere as we prepared ourselves a decadent feast of cheese, pate and champagne which we enjoyed on the well positioned outdoor seated area. It was a warm night so we gazed up at the clear night sky while listening to John Lennon ballads thoughtfully left for us to enjoy along with a CD player. The next day we woke to spectacular bright blue skies enjoyed as we opened the quaint window box window in the top floor bedroom towards the lovely lily-covered pond. I sent my husband up to the nearby Cambewarra Estate Winery to pick up our High Tea "To go" just 5 mins up the road. I had checked out the photos of this property prior and thought it would be a lovely spot for a high tea and I wasn't wrong. We then took off and explored the beautiful area including the gorgeous Cambewarra Lookout where we enjoyed lunch with a magnificent view. It was a warm day and we got back just in time for a quick dip in the gorgeous glass covered swimming pool which we had all to ourselves. Watching the clouds roll in through the paned glass we then went inside to enjoy the soothing sound of rain on the tin roof and a chorus of kookaburras marking the occasion. Berry is just 15 minutes away so we had a late dinner at a cute little restaurant called SOUTH on Albany enjoying a delicious 3 course meal with wine pairing. The hosts at the property were lovely and made sure we were comfortable without being intrusive. Since posting photos of our lovely weekend I have had numerous enquiries from my friends wondering where I found such a lovely place. I would highly recommend "The Connoisseur's Cottage" to anyone that appreciates a beautiful setting in a lovely tranquil environment. ##### Venette F.

The owners Rosalind and Nick are such warm and hospitable hosts, leaving us wine, chocolates, breakfast provisions including delicious homemade marmalade. We spent time relaxing, swimming, playing tennis and just enjoying the scenery - a perfect weekend getaway. If you're looking at this listing, just book it. You won't regret it! Can't wait to come back myself :) ##### Vanessa K.
