Berrima, where a warm welcome awaits you.

Berrima village is the perfect spot to slow down and breathe in the country air. Surrounded by bespoke boutiques, vintage shops, art and handmade galleries, charming places to spend the night and delicious dining options to relax and soak up village life.

Savour in Berrima’s seasonal paddock to plate experiences, cool climate wineries, jam shops full of delicious gourmet goods, stocking locally grown goodies as well as take home treats.

Check into Berrima’s unique and friendly accommodation, enjoy historic character filled cottages, luxurious boutique accommodation, or our village motel.

Explore our historic village by taking a step back in time at Harper’s Mansion, drop in for an ale at the Australia’s oldest licensed hotel, the Surveyor General Inn and tour the magnificent Berrima Court House. Stroll down to the river past quintessential cottages with perfectly manicured gardens, hire an ebike and cruise the village for a historical tour.

The relaxed atmosphere and easy-going attitude of locals makes Berrima the perfect place to take time out of everyday life.
