A Quiet Milestone for Mt Hay Retreat
We’re pleased to share that Mt Hay Retreat has been awarded Silver in the 5-Star Luxury Accommodation category at the National Qantas Australian Tourism Awards.
It’s a meaningful moment for us—not so much for the spotlight, but as recognition of the kind of experience we’ve always tried to offer here in Berry: calm, private, and thoughtfully put together.
Mt Hay Retreat has never been about big gestures and drama. It’s the small things that matter —space to breathe, considered design, and the feeling of being properly away from it all while still being close to everything the South Coast has to offer.
To be recognised at a national level is both exciting and mildly mind-bending, especially alongside so many well-established and respected properties across Australia. It gives us confidence that what we’re doing resonates.
We’re grateful to the guests who’ve chosen to stay with us, many of whom return time and again. Your feedback—both spoken and unspoken—has helped shape what Mt Hay is today.
We’ll take this as a quiet milestone rather than a finish line, and continue focusing on what matters: offering a place that feels easy, private, and worth coming back to.
