Tariffs are based a couple using one bedroom and one bathroom and exclusive use of the cottage. If an extra bedroom and/or bathroom is needed just let us know. We have had many overseas guests and others from NSW, Victoria, South Australia and Queensland. The most outstanding part has been how really nice our guests have been. We have enjoyed their company and shared many good times. The Stables was one of the cottages in the Good Weekend's 52 Weekends and has received rave reviews from our guests. Welcome to the Stables. Rest and relax in a beautiful rural setting. The Stables offer two self-contained bedrooms, one ensuite and a bathroom, with a full kitchen and room to move. The Stables warn for children that the Stables is located close by a dam. Please check the photographs. Enjoy your own private dam and all the wild life which goes with it. The cottage is located on the site of some old stables so with the best of imagination it is called "The Stables." The Stables are self catering. There are enough provisions to get you through breakfast and some light foods in the pantry, the rest is up to you. The North Nowra shopping centre/tavern is located about 10 kilometres away. There is a secure dog kennel, bring your own lock, next to The Stables so if you need to leave your pet for a while it will be secure. We no longer take bookings for one night as it is a waste of our guests money. The Stables is designed and operated for guests who want to come here and relax and you can't unwind in one night. We do not have a high or low season rate. Our rates are the same all year round. Your own relaxing romantic tree change at a fraction of the cost The Stables is located amongst the trees with a large grassy area and farm dam in front of the cottage. It is located 375 metres off Illaroo Road so you enjoy the birds, the bush, wombats and your own tree change. Sit in the sun and relax. From here you look out over the dam. You can see the bird life, listen to the frogs and see if you can spot the resident tortoise and the occasional echindna. In the evening you can watch the wombats and as the sun goes down you will be amazed by the chorus of the water life in the dam. In winter light the slow combustion wood heater, snuggle into the lounge and enjoy. You don't even have to cut the firewood. The showers do not have water saving heads so you will get plenty of water. However, the showers do have a six minute timer on them. After all, the water comes from a tank. Enjoy the comlimentary homemade bread, wine and cheese on arrival. Try the new coffee machine. The kitchen comes fully equipped including a pantry with enough supplies to get you through breakfast and a bit more. There is a small "use and replace" wine cellar in the kitchen. You are welcome to the wine on the proviso that you replace the wine you drink with that of an equivalent quality. There is a coffee making machine (coffee beans are supplied), a slow cooker, a rice cooker and enough for you to enjoy your meals. We have a range of Earl Grey teas and coffee beans. There are good quality sheets and pillow cases supplied. The fully equipped kitchen comes with a dishwasher, microwave oven and a fridge. There is also a small bbq. Water comes from a rainwater tank so there are no nasty chemicals Tapitallee is located southwest of Berry and just over the hill southeast of Kangaroo Valley. It is a beautiful area with many attractions such a wineries, ceramics, orchids, bonsai, slab timbers, Bundanon and Riversdale. Our main attraction is people come to the Stables to relax. In many cases they they just sit in the sun, read, sleep, go for walks, look for the bird life although there a many close by attractions. The Boyd homestead is also open on Saturday and Sunday. It is also worth the trip to the Cambewarra Lookout for breakfast or for my favourite, the curly fries. And if you really want the best of the best go to Flame in North Nowra and ask for their garlic prawns and bread to mop up the sauce. The prawns are not on the menu so you have to ask for them. If you are really hungry try their pork ribs which are to die for plus the Greek salad and pizza. To be really decadent try their pizzas as well. I’m not on commission but these young people are tops. If you are into the best fish and chips, actual awards, go to the Pelican Rocks at Greenwell Point, breakfast and lunch only. How about high tea at Cambewarra Estate? Other than the lookout you will need to book ahead. With Flame you will need to order the ribs and prawns. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Parking and transport - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - TV with cable/satellite channels - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Patio ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near the bay ### Things to do - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Whale watching nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 883 square feet ## Similar properties ![Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76860000/76856200/76856180/2e6e34c2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Escape to gorgeous Swan Lake.....

I and my small dog absolutely loved the short time we had here, with so much land to explore and long vistas from the verandah. Carol's home-made bread was delicious, as was the complimentary wine, plus the extra treats for breakfast were an added bonus. My dog was particularly excited by all the wildlife smells and actual wildlife presence - wild ducks, whip birds, parrots, a red-belly black snake that retreated quickly into the gully one afternoon, and the nightly visit from the wombat. Plus so many frog noises I am still trying to identify and have shared my recording with the FrogID app. ![view from verandah to lake](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ea50afb5-38fd-4ffc-a94a-fe006b056cfa-1760926759816.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a23d5830-66e2-4f6f-a0eb-75627ea028e1-1760926777389.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![view from inside LR](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e67722b2-3b8d-4c61-894e-c16ee2f205ef-1760926789102.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![at the lake](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d100508e-2d59-468d-9f3b-442d10683ec1-1760926800501.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Johneen H.

Fresh home made bread was a delight and the cheese and biccies were a lovely welcome. It was exactly how it was described. Quiet, undisturbed and plenty of local wildlife to see on the evening strolls. But still close enough to do shops if you felt the urge to spend some money. Would highly recommend the Tapitallee Lodges for a nice quiet getaway. ##### Ruth T.

The stables cottage is a cute little house up on a lush green hill. We booked Tapitallee lodges for 10 nights and as every review says, it was excellent. We were greeted with fresh bread, cheese and crackers, some small pantry essentials and bacon and eggs ready to cook for the next morning. The property is a sanctuary of wildlife with the dam close by acting as a highway for all sorts for Australians native animals. We were very lucky to see multipuls of wombats, Kangaroos, wallabys, echidnas and even little hopping mice; with 2 young kids this was such a great place to learn about the bush. Kangaroo Valley, Illaroo lookout, Nowra and Berry are all a short 20min drive from the lodges. Trev, a great character of a man, was an excellent host and we are very greatful for the help he provided during a small mains power outage. I highly reccomend Tapitallee lodges - 5 stars ##### Meaghan V.

The wine, cheese and fresh bread, eggs and bacon was a wonderful touch. Trev is a lovely, lovely host. At dusk we went for a walk a saw wombats which was a highlight. A beautiful area. Highly recommend the Devonshire tea at Canbewarra lookout too. We also saw lyrebirds and king parrots up there. ##### Allison D.

Then there is the fresh air, beautiful country scenery, animal life and about a 30 minute drive into other townships. The wood fire is awesome and the accommodation is very comfortable. Trevor made sure I was ok and had everything I needed. Missy ( my dog) and I immensely enjoyed our week away! ##### monique j.

Perfect or the occasion. We got here early, no problem. The fire was lit ready for us, hot bread baked ready too, with butter. Milk in the fridge, pantry wonderful, very clean, comfortable lounge and beds. Wine, cheese and bickies all set up. Everything was perfect, weekend took our little dog. Lots of wildlife too. Thank you so much Trevor & Carol. We'll be back. ##### Janine L.

Thankfully Trevor was very vigilant about the fires and had our best interest when he told us we needed to leave. We are very grateful for the way he looked after us and wish him all the best. ##### Margaret P. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter J. 17 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing stay beautiful grounds friendly hosts. Upon arriving Trev was there to greet us and made us feel very welcome and even asked if we would like a spare mattress so our kid’s didn’t have to sleep in the same bed. Everything was set up and ready for our stay including fresh baked bread also enough food for breakfast including bacon and eggs which is great if you have been travelling all day and couldn’t be bothered going anywhere. Trev recommended some restaurants close by as well as directions to get around the area easily truely a gentleman. We found ourselves spending most of our time there outside sitting and listening to the wildlife especially at night waiting to spot the wombats. Way better than any hotel if you love nature and peace and quiet this place won’t disappoint you clean and comfortable what more could you ask for? We will definitely have to stay again loved it. ##### Peter J.

It was great having the local wombats come out daily to greet us. It is lovely and quiet and you aren’t looking at anything but the bush. You aren’t far from exploring the sites of the shoal haven which keeps you entertained. Lovely wineries, villages and markets ##### Robyn C.

Trev is an excellent host and the cottage was well provided and equipped. The region is gorgeous, lush and green and the cottage is peaceful, with wildlife sounds. We saw a few times a Wombat grazing around the house at dusk :). ##### Corinne D.
