Where will I be?

As a result of its fairly remote location, you are treated to stunning views of the Wattamolla Valley from the property's elevated position. There is a second dwelling on the property, so whilst you will feel away from the world, there is someone on hand in the event of any issues or an emergency.

The property is a 10 - 15 minute drive to Berry, 20 - 25 minutes to Kangaroo Valley and if you are up for a half day or full day outing, the beaches at Gerroa, Culburra or Jervis Bay are within 20 minutes driving distance of Rayfields.

Long weekend stay
Very disappointed as property advertised as 5 bedroom house and 2 bathroom but while reaching there realised that its 3 bedroom and 1 bathroom rest 2 bedroom and 1 bathroom is considered as separate cottage . Booked accommodation for 6 people ended up sleeping on floor as one room out of 3 bedroom had very small bed for 2 decent sized people also bed frame wasn't wiped/clean properly we could able to see dust particles on frame and strage smell was coming from bed, we could not able to get access to other rooms as owners son and girlfriend were staying on next cottage for weekend which was supposed to consider part of 5 bedroom house. Overall very disappointed with stay. We have booked so many holiday accommodations with stays but never had this kind of experience before where given access to 3 beds but properly been advertised and booked as 5 bedroom house .

My friends and I all had a lovely, relaxing time over the two days we stayed at Rayfields.
Rayfields was enjoyable, cosy and very relaxing with the most beautiful surrounds. Would definitely recommend the place. Only a few small requests: provide better fire utensils like poker, prongs, dust pan and kitchen sponges please.

Perfect Escape at Rayfields
Beautiful property, perfect for our winter getaway. The views from the property are breathtaking and the home is very cosy and comfortable. Lovely and remote, but so close to Berry and Kangaroo Valley. We had a lovely time and would visit again.
