This attractive rural retreat features two accommodations (a main house + cottage) and a pool overlooking cattle paddocks and beautiful distant hills. The main house features fantastic indoor and outdoor entertaining areas, large bedrooms and wrap around verandahs. The nearby cottage features two additional bedrooms and is totally self contained with kitchen, bathroom, wood fire place, covered deck area, and a living room. The house and cottage are perfect for large family gatherings or groups of friends.
Whispering Pines is not a party house – please. Hens and bucks parties are also strictly prohibited.
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.
Where will I be?
Whispering Pines is a rural property located in Far Meadow, about eight minutes drive south of Berry, where you will find award winning restaurants, shops and cafe. Drive six minutes towards the coast and you will find yourself at the famous Seven Mile Beach Gerroa.

Reviews
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.

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.
