Five-star accommodation done differently.

Mt Hay Retreat in Berry has taken a unique approach. Not just accommodating guests in luxurious surrounds, but where every detail has been thoughtfully tailored, putting the individual at the heart of everything we do.

Awards

Recently awarded Gold in NSW and Silver at the 2024 Australian Tourism Awards for five-star luxury accommodation, Mt Hay Retreat has built a reputation for offering more than just incredible facilities. Louise and Anthony, who run the retreat, have focused on a guest-first philosophy, crafting memorable stays where the difference lies in the details.

Suites

All our suites have spectacular views, with expansive floor plans – over 85 square metres.  Each has a slightly different layout, so guests can return and enjoy a different experience each time – always with panoramic views. Most have a bath on the deck, and the decadence of lying in the bath and watching the clouds roll by, is real luxury.

Facilities

There’s also a toasty spa and a 33-metre heated indoor pool, complete with a playful waterfall tumbling from the ceiling. Prefer the outdoors? The koi pond offers hours of peaceful distraction, while the photogenic “cloud swing” is ideal for the perfect snap. A stroll through the manicured gardens, with statues and hidden art pieces thoughtfully scattered, makes for a tranquil daily ritual.

Service

Instead of a standard “check-in”, guests are welcomed by name and personally shown to their suite.  Taking ‘reception’ to the guest instead of making the guest come to reception.  All part of our commitment to effortless comfort and putting the guest experience first.

Sustainability

Our commitment to sustainability also goes well beyond lip service.  As a working farm, we deeply understand the need to care for the land, with recycling initiatives and sustainable management woven into everyday life.   

This thoughtful consistency and authenticity is what keeps guests coming back.

We want to provide an environment where our guests can arrive and almost immediately feel the tranquility and serenity of this beautiful place.  A little respite from hectic lives – to reconnect. A little ‘down-time’ from life.

Luxury

Luxury here is also made practical, with remote controlled blinds to unveil that spectacular view without having to leave the warm embrace of your sumptuous king bed.  Plus in-house therapists offering treatments in the privacy of your suite.

We have one masseuse who particularly adores doing pregnancy massages, which is perfect for ‘baby moons’, another with a medical background, who is incredible for guests with health issues,  understanding the intricacies of treatment. The luxury of taking a dip in the indoor heated pool and then having a massage in your own suite…It’s such a simple pleasure in a very pure form.

What sets Mt Hay apart isn’t just what they offer, it’s the intention behind every detail. This is five-star luxury delivered with warmth, practicality, and genuine care.
