Where will I be?
Milhouse is located approximately 1.5km from Berry, taking 2 minutes by car or 20 minutes on foot. Seven Mile Beach is a 10 minute drive away.
Why choose Milhouse?
In the past, Milhouse was run as a traditional bed and breakfast. The property has been beautifully restored by new owners and is now rented as a large, single residence - perfect for a family gathering, corporate retreat, or a getaway for friends. The property has ample indoor / outdoor living spaces, and 5 out of 8 bedrooms enjoy ensuites and sitting areas, meaning that guests can enjoy more privacy than in a typical holiday rental. The picturesque town of Berry with its popular shops, cafes and restaurants is only a short drive away, as is Seven Mile Beach. Or if you stay at "home" you will be well catered for with a swimming pool, tennis court, games room, fire pit, vegetable garden, and beautiful grounds to explore.

The main entrance takes you into a foyer area. Directly ahead you will see the outdoor terrace, complete with large outdoor dining setting. Turning left will take you into the original farmhouse, consisting of 2 bedrooms, a snug TV room, and a bathroom. Turning right takes you into the modern extension. The heart of the building is the large living, dining and kitchen area. A long hallway leads to 6 additional bedrooms. The house is serviced by a semi-commercial grade kitchen, complete with walk in coolroom. A separate freezer is located in the laundry. There are 5 en-suite bathrooms, and a guest toilet adjacent to the kitchen and main living room. The pizza oven and additional BBQ are located in the gardens, as part of the pool cabana.

Reviews
Beautiful Home
Sharon H - 2nd June 2024Beautiful Home, great for multiple families as well. Situated close to Berry and Wineries. We had a great time.
Rural Retreat
Janette W - 25th February 2024Milhouse is a beautiful large home ideal for a family celebration. It comfortably accommodated 3 generations, with 9 adults and 7 children aged 15-6. It is well equipped with everything you need for a memorable stay and the grounds were paradise for the kids to explore. We all enjoyed the tennis court, swimming pool and had a fast and furious table tennis championship going. Ideally located only 50 minutes from home but once there it felt peaceful and rural and only a short walk into Berry..
Fabulous property
Susie L - 16th November 2023Thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay once again. We have been enjoying the Milhouse accommodation for a few years now and will keep coming back with our group to enjoy the many activities and leisure of the place.
Lovely place to stay for an extended family.
Ingmar T - 3rd October 2023It was a great stay. Lovely grounds. Lots to do. Wonderfully equipped kitchen. Good response when we found we needed fresh linen. Pool, tennis court and table tennis table were all great. Rooms are large. Ensuites a little old, but large and functional.
Beautiful Berry Farmstay
Amy G - 12th June 2023What a gorgeous property! The location, the views, the facilities (tennis court, veggie garden, outdoor seating areas in particular) and the amazing kitchen/cool room ensured our long weekend away was easy to enjoy. Our 3 generational family loved staying here as it accommodated everyone so comfortably and created plenty of opportunities to be together and have quiet time as well. Loved that Berry was a short walk and other great walking/coastal destinations only a drive away. We’ll be back!
Beautiful expansive property
Letitia G - 22nd January 2023We just stayed at the Milhouse for 7 nights. There were 4 families in our group of 17 (8 adults, 8 children and 1 infant). It was an absolutely fantastic property. The bedrooms were very spacious and so we all felt like we had our own private space despite staying together. The commercial kitchen was absolutely fantastic with such a big group. Two dishwashers, a cold room, and more than enough glasses, crockery and cutlery for three meals per day for us all. We all loved our time here.
Fantastic property for a weekend stay!
Susie - 14th November 2022A group of mature adults thoroughly enjoyed our 2nd stay at Milhouse. The facilities are great. Our group want another stay at Milhouse in 2023, so we will be in touch.
Wonderful family holiday house
suzie r - 21st March 2022Perfect house for a family of all ages. Tennis court and swimming pool make it fun. House was clean and plenty of space for everyone to sit together. Would definitely recommend this house.
great holiday house!
richard p - 9th January 2022Fantastic place for a large family or multiple families holiday. The house was clean and all the rooms spacious with most with ensuites. The kitchen was well stocked and easy to use and clean and the cool room was fantastic. All our kids enjoyed themselves and we used the tennis court and pool everyday.
Superb Property
Dan K - 22nd December 2021We will be back
Fantastic property for a weekend stay!
Susie L - 15th November 2021The property was wonderful and the rooms very clean and comfortable. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was terrific and very well stocked with crockery, cutlery, platters and glasses. We used the bbq twice and didn't need to replace the gas bottle and didn't need to replace the chest high gas bottle either. There were no breakages and the remote batteries were fine.
Absolutely fantastic property for a large family. Highly recommend it.
Beautiful in real life
Lisa D - 15th April 2021Thank you to the owners for our gorgeous welcome gift with local produce. We enjoyed our stay. Extremely comfortable and true to its online images.
Amazing property for any group, from families to business trips.
Best place for an extended family holiday or large group
Jenny - 24th March 2021We have just returned from a weekend away at The Milhouse Berry. What a joy to have a late departure of 4pm on Sunday! The place was PERFECT for our family of 14 - 7 adults and 7 children .... even though it was raining! There was plenty of room for the children to run about indoors and plenty of quiet nooks to sit and play games. The adults were also well accommodated. I loved the massive dining table where we could all sit together and have our meals and family chats. The table can sit more than our 14. There is a lovely fireplace in the lounge room which we used one night. The kitchen was perfect - plates and glasses galore, heaps of pots and pans, 4 sinks, 2 dishwashers, a large oven with multiple gas plates for the pots. There was so much room in the cool room for refrigerated items. And also a freezer. I loved the secluded little courtyards off many of the bedrooms. The grounds were beautiful with little private picturesque gardens throughout the property. The large vegetable garden was handy for some food items. There’s also a tennis court and swimming pool and an outdoor room with table-tennis and darts. I particularly loved that everyone had plenty of space and there were so many bathrooms. The bedrooms were massive and quiet, with their own separate air conditioner. Although this is an old house, it has recently been refurbished - new linen on the beds, new pillows, new fluffy towels, new blinds and curtains, new plantation shutters in the bathrooms etc etc. The laundry was great with a new large Miele washing machine and a new dryer. The manager of the home was very courteous and helpful. The location of this property is great - only 1-and-a-half hours drive from Sydney, it’s surrounded by paddocks, and only a couple of minutes drive into town to purchase fresh bread, or the famous doughnuts. I highly recommend this place for a large gathering of family or group. We loved our stay. I am not associated with the property in any way - I have given an extensive review as I realise we are one of the first to use it as a full rental property.
