Extra spacious

Guests love this home’s spaciousness for a comfortable stay.
Scribbly Gums Berrara is a stylish, cosy sanctuary for those seeking comfort, calm, and connection with nature. Surrounded by the Australian bush and birdsong, you’ll find us on a quiet corner of sleepy Berrara, directly opposite Conjola National Park and a three minute walk to beautiful Cudmirrah Beach at the end of the street. Whether you’re after a romantic escape, a family getaway, or time with friends, our home offers space to slow down and relax, just 3 hours drive south of Sydney.

The space
The front of the house is the original 1950s cottage that is now made up of the kitchen, living and dining spaces. Charm from the original cottage has been taken through and given new life with the addition of 3 bedrooms, a study, two bathrooms and a laundry.

Bedroom one has a Queen bed and it's own ensuite with separate bath and rain shower. Bedroom two has a queen bed and a lovely view of the garden. Luxury bedding from Microcloud and linen sheets make it hard to get up for those early morning beach walks... Bedroom three has two long singles and there is a bathroom right next to bedroom two for guests in bedrooms two and three to share which has a bath with overhead shower.

The living and dining areas have french doors that open out to the north and to a covered patio with outdoor setting off the living area. It's beautiful to spend time out here, connected to the garden, reading the newspaper, enjoying meals with family and friends, drawing and painting and just watching the birds and the world go by.

The kitchen is fully equipped and has everything you'll need to prepare beautiful meals including a Smeg freestanding oven and a dishwasher. Or if you find the washing up therapeutic, look out the window while washing up in the double ceramic farmhouse sink.

The living area has a comfy lounge and there is ducted air conditioning throughout the house although you'll rarely need it. Recycled brick walls provide thermal mass that keeps the house cool in Summer and warm in Winter.

One of the things we love most about the house is that you can see green from every window. You'll really feel immersed in nature not only looking outside the house but inside too with lots of nature inspired artwork to enjoy.

We had a guest recently describe their arrival at Scribbly Gums as like "receiving one huge, warm cuddle". We loved this, it just describes perfectly our purpose for Scribbly Gums. A place that nurtures and restores and brings a feeling of peace and serenity to all who stay.

Guest access
There is space for two cars to park off the street in front of the garage on the concrete driveway. The house is single level and very easy access with concrete paths around for easy mobility.

Neighbourhood highlights

Berrara is a sleepy little coastal town on the South Coast of NSW just 2.5 hours south of Sydney. Surrounded by Conjola National Park and Cudmirrah Beach, Berrara has been a holiday destination for many since the 1950s when most of the holiday shacks were originally built. It has remained relatively unchanged and undeveloped and as a result offers a beautiful, unspoilt escape to nature.

Cuddy Cafe is the closest cafe and open for breakfast and lunch. It's about a 15 minute walk from our place and is opposite Swan Lake in neighbouring Cudmirrah. Island Sushi is a very cute little find van in Cudmirrah and makes authentic, delicious Poke bowls. During Summer there are often food vans around the area thanks to the Summer in Sussex event programme. Sussex Inlet is our closest town, just 10 minutes drive away and has a SPAR supermarket, butcher, RSL and bowling club. The Swordfish Brewery is open 7 days and has an amazing view of the river, great food and live music. Cafes in Sussex Inlet to check out include Pelican Shores, Inlet Eats and Little Eadies. The Grazing Galz kiosk at SussexxInlet Surf club does a great burger and fish n chips too.

We have a fabulous fresh produce grower on Sussex Inlet Rd called Sussex Greenhouse. Be sure to stop there and pick up some locally grown produce on your way here if they are open.

For those craving retail therapy, you'll find the Ocean and Earth factory in Sussex Inlet and some quaint little shops in Sussex Inlet including a great local art and craft shop. There is also a gorgeous little cinema in the main street.

Larger tourist towns of Huskisson and Milton are a 30 minute drive from us and make for a nice day out.
