Unique, private and ultra exclusive, Mt Hay Retreat is a boutique escape that is quite simply second to none. With only a handful of individual lodges to choose from, each luxury suite is filled with natural light and designed as your own private escape.
Dominated by breath taking views and offering a secluded and peaceful sanctuary well away from the cares and complexities of contemporary life, it is still only minutes from the heart of world famous Berry Village.
Serenely set on 360 acres against the majestic backdrop of Broughton Head, this magnificent property is a working farm embraced by native bushland and lush green pastures. With views that stretch uninterrupted across the rolling hills of the South Coast and beyond to the distant ocean horizon, Mt Hay Retreat is a lifestyle destination of rare distinction.
Mt Hay Retreat was awarded Gold for 5 Star Luxury Accommodation at the Qantas Tourism Awards 2022, and won the Judges Choice Award for Sustainability at the NSW Tourism Awards 2023.
