The Berry Hotel

Came for a drive from Wollongong to check out Berry. I had the mushroom pizza absolutely brilliant 10/10. The beer pint was perfect on a warm afternoon. Nice outside area to have lunch with our dog.

Nice pub for a drink and a meal except their bizarre rule about food. They made up their own sign and quoted the ‘smoke free act of 2000’ to say no food to be consumed in this outdoor seating area! OK to drink and smoke but not eat… go figure!

The hotel is very nice, with beautifully tiled rooms. We stayed in a room with a view of a green field, which was absolutely beautiful at first. Later, we found out that it was actually a swamp. The service was outstanding. The receptionist and her husband went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant. We wanted to get a massage, and although it wasn’t available at the hotel, they helped us find someone and arranged it for us. There is a very small pool with a seating area that is just enough for the size of the pool. Because the hotel is close to the swamp, there are a lot of mosquitoes and flies, which can be quite unbearable.

Right in the heart of Berry, we stopped in for Saturday Lunch and a few drinks. Food was excellent (who doesn’t love a good steak?) and was prepared promptly. The Hotel has plenty of table space for groups large and small. Excellent visit, will be back again.

Ran out of Guinness and the first 3 items we wanted off the food menu were all sold out. However what we did end up ordering was delicious and the atmosphere of the Berry Hotel is excellent. Service was friendly and helpful. The manager on the day was doing everything she could to ensure all patrons had an enjoyable experience.
