Where will I be?

There is a second dwelling on the property, so whilst you will feel away from the world, there is someone on hand in the event of any issues or an emergency.
The property is a 10 - 15 minute drive to Berry, 20 - 25 minutes to Kangaroo Valley and if you are up for a half day or full day outing, the beaches at Gerroa, Culburra or Jervis Bay are within 20 minutes driving distance of Rayfields.

Great venue
Thomas - 28th September 2022A great venue with fantastic views and close enough to the village . Excellent nature aura with peaceful surroundings. Very positively secluded. Great diversity of bird life and forest vegetation. Fully equipped for all accomodation needs.
Beautiful
Anonymous - 30th NovemberWe had a beautifully quiet and relaxing girls weekend. The beds were comfortable and the house had everything we needed to cook all our meals. I wouldn't recommend driving in after dark, as the road is a bit tricky but the view at the end is well worth it. Great place to get away.
Great weekend
Anonymous - 30th NovemberWe had a wonderful family weekend at Rayfields. The hosts were very accommodating and helpful. The property is just beautiful and the views spectacular.
Such a beautiful spot
Anonymous - 30th NovemberOur extended family of 9 had a lovely weekend at Rayfields in September. It was delightful to wander around the property and enjoy the abundance of birdlife. Night time wombat spotting was also a highlight. The house was very comfortable and spacious for the 9 of us plus 2 active dogs. The only suggestion I would make is the need for an ensuite to the main bedroom. Otherwise, a beautiful place to relax.
Excellent!
Anonymous - 30th NovemberExcellent! Stunning location and beautiful house.
Perfect Country Escape

Wonderful escape
Anonymous - 30th NovemberWe stayed at Rayfields for a weekend with a group of 9 friends. The house was gorgeous and fully equipped for a lovely getaway, with plenty of cooking equipment. The view from the property was also fantastic! Both Berry and Kangaroo Valley are close-by which was convenient for grocery shopping and activities. Overall we loved our stay and hope to be back soon!

Anonymous - 30th NovemberBeautiful property- the view is incredible and a lovely place to stay. Clean and well looked after, plenty of space.
A beautiful location
Anonymous - 30th NovemberA beautiful location with a stunning view. This house is the perfect set up for a girls trip away. Tip for the first person arriving, take the loft room and leave the window open a little so you can wake up to the sun rise and lyre birds!! I go away with this group of ladies every year since 2007 and we all agree this has been our favourite location by far.
