Booking for peak season 2022/23 (16 Dec 2022 to 24 Jan 2023)
The changeover day for this property for the 2022/23 peak season is Friday. When booking between mid-December and Australia Day, please select 7 night blocks that start and end on the changeover day. Otherwise the calendar may indicate that dates are not available. If in doubt, please contact The Holidays Collection and we will be happy to assist. Peak season bookings are often most easily made directly with us.
Please note
The cottage is very habitable but is mostly in original condition, as is one of the bathrooms, the laundry and some storage areas in the main house. Please book the property on this basis. Upgrades are ongoing to this beautiful property, but everything is true to the photos which are kept current and accurate.
Also note that contractors may sometimes visit during your stay to feed cattle and / or attend to other property maintenance issues - generally always away from the house. If any issues arise around this during your stay, please let us know.

Reviews
PERFECT COUNTRY LONG WEEKEND VENUE
Melody Formica - 17th December 2021We could not possibly have had a more perfect venue for my fathers 80th birthday FAMILY long weekend away. Whispering Pines is beautiful. The weather for our time away was rain rain and more rain but we had so much space and privacy here. We had the stunning outdoor fire place going all day - so open and protected from the elements. The property had everything we needed for our large multi generational family. The view is stunning and the property was cleaned so well. Memory making perfection.
Whispering Pines Review
Karen Crowder - 13th December 2021Hi, We had a great stay.
Hi Vanessa. Thanks for the feedback and we have or are addressing all issues you have raised. A plumber was there upon your arrival to fix the toilet and a full re-clean of the house was offered, but declined. Whispering Pines is in the process of a major upgrade, with the new decks and huge outdoor entertaining area already completed for your arrival. We have had happy guests either side of your booking and the reviews are not fake. We understand however that Whispering Pines was not the right property for you. Apologies for that.
AMAZING

Perfect for a gathering of people
Chelsea - 17th March 2020Whispering Pines house and cottage ticked all of the boxes for our gathering of family and friends for my 40th birthday!! The house was very spacious and all furniture was suited to the number of guests!!! All bedrooms were large and clean. The outdoor fire pit was the perfect area for us all to gather around and take in the amazing outlook of the green paddocks and distant hills!! I would highly recommend this house.

Wonderful property
Judith - 7th October 2019What a great place for big families. So spacious, comfortable and well appointed. You feel right at home as soon as you walk in. The separate cottage was spacious and exactly what we needed for the younger adults in our group. The location was perfect. Berry, Nowra Gerroa and Gerringong all within short drives. As well as some vineyards! Highly recommend this property.
