Delightful self-contained guest cottage on small rural acreage at the base of Coolangatta Mountain. This is a peaceful location but not isolated.
(7)

Popular for weekend escapes for couples and small groups we accommodate adults and children (age 7+). The perfect place for a romantic interlude or a get together with the girls. Named after the Welsh goddess of love and beauty this charming country retreat was lovingly built by the owners Kate & Erwin and decorated in a vintage country style . The cottage has amazing views over green pastures to

the mountains, and is located close to beaches, wineries, and the Shoalhaven River. It's an ideal place for those seeking a destination for relaxation whilst having award winning restaurants and wineries nearby. Branwens Retreat is a picturesque cottage (130 sqm) offering comfortable accommodation, a country ambience, some vintage touches and a few little luxuries. The house is set on a small rural acreage in the parish of Coolangatta, near the villages of Shoalhaven Heads and Berry. Beautiful beaches, bush walks, wineries and quaint historical villages are all within a short drive. For a visual tour of the cottage and surrounds see our short film here on FB and on our own Branwens Retreat website www.branwensretreat.com.au. We are located at the base of Coolangatta Mountain within 10 minutes to wonderful surf beaches, the historical township of Berry and some great award winning restaurants and wineries. Further afield you will find Whale Watching and Dolphin Cruises and our National Marine Park- Jervis Bay (1/2 hour), magnificent mountains and rainforest valleys full of interesting bush walks. The cottage is self-catering, although for those who book direct with us we supply breakfast ingredients to get you started. The full kitchen is well supplied with appliances to help you cook up a storm.

Branwens Retreat is located just over two hours from Sydney and Canberra on the South Coast of New South Wales Australia. This is a popular area for weekend travellers and those interested in spending more time exploring secluded coves, regional wineries, mountains and rainforest. Our guest cottage overlooks green pastures towards the mountains, 1 klm to the Shoalhaven river and with olives groves and vineyards in sight. The perfect place to take in the starlight and the sound of our local frogs...

Guest access
The cottage is totally self-contained and located within in it's own gardens and on our 5-acre property Paradwys (welsh for paradise). We are also located on the property (across the orchard) in our hand-puddled mud-brick house. There are no shared facilities other than wonderful rural views, frog choruses, spectacular sunsets, beautiful starlit nights and clean fresh air. Guest interaction
We like to welcome guests on arrival and provide them with any local information that may need about shops, restaurant, wineries etc. We are on hand if there are any problems but the guest cottage is totally separate to our own dwelling, has its own driveway, gardens and we respect guests privacy. Neighbourhood overview
Country outlook across green dairy pastures towards mountain ridges -rural but not remote. Good access to beaches, shops and quaint towns and villages within 10 - 15 minutes but located in a relatively hidden valley, with a few friendly neighbours on similar 5 acre properties. Getting around
Train station is within 15 minutes but access to a car is needed to really enjoy the area. Bookings:

Last nights sunset. Looks like the clouds are on fire. There would have been a Birds Eye view of this from the hot tub at Branwens Retreat ( cottage on the left). Hope our guests saw the show…

Lovely view of Mount Coolangatta from Crookhaven Heads. The Shoalhaven just has so many beautiful views to enjoy and warm days and crisp evenings at the moment. Perfect for a mid-year break at Branwens Retreat.
