In addition to the just completed interiors upgrade, we have lit up our beautiful gardens! Every night at dusk, a fairyland awaits you. Outside the immediate gardens is a further 50 acres of calming rural space , where you can stroll, picnic and are magnificent views up and down the Illawarra coast line from the top paddocks-well worth the hike with a bottle of wine at sunset! Please do not approach any cattle or wild animals ( yes we have kangaroos!) on the property. Jerrymara is minutes away from beautiful rural villages including Kiama and Berry, and under 2 hours drive south from Sydney. We are a private retreat yet only minutes away from good coffee and dining, supermarkets and boutiques. Privacy is assured at Jerrymara and we aim to allow guests a carefree and free-ranging stay. We would stress however, that we are located in a quiet rural/residential/dairy farming valley. The peaceful amenity of our neighbours is paramount to us. Loud and amplified music, Hens or Bucks parties, are prohibited. Jerrymara will no longer take wedding bookings, unless they are under 15 attendees. I’m so sorry brides! We would be delighted however, for you to stay with us to prepare with bridal party and family, and take advantage of the gardens for all your pre ceremony photography ( and post if your venue is nearby!) Jerrymara is perfect for a group of friends or family wanting a uniquely beautiful stay close to beach, golf, wineries and shopping. Instagram @jerrymara_estate
