A Refined Country Escape in Wattamolla

Set within its own private valley in Wattamolla, Heronwood is a refined country estate designed for deep rest, privacy, and understated luxury. Surrounded by unspoilt mountain ranges and set across 16 acres of landscaped grounds, this serene retreat feels entirely removed from the pace of everyday life, yet remains conveniently close to Berry and Kangaroo Valley. From the moment guests arrive via the sweeping circular driveway, the sense of calm and quiet grandeur is unmistakable.

The interiors unfold with a sense of scale and elegance, beginning with a grand foyer accented by contemporary artwork. The open-plan living and dining space is both impressive and inviting, anchored by sculptural lighting, generous seating, and two fireplaces that bring warmth and atmosphere throughout the seasons. A chef’s kitchen sits at the heart of the home, equipped with a large stainless-steel benchtop, five-burner stove, electric oven, modern appliances, and a well-stocked walk-in pantry, perfect for long lunches, shared dinners, and slow mornings with coffee in hand.

Accommodation is thoughtfully arranged for up to four couples or a close-knit group of friends. Two luxurious king suites each feature private ensuites, while the remaining bedrooms, one with a queen bed and another with twin king singles, offer the same attention to comfort, quality linens, plush doonas, and electric blankets. The central bathroom is a standout, with a freestanding bath positioned to overlook the perennial gardens, inviting long soaks framed by greenery.

Beyond the walls of the home, Heronwood reveals itself as a private nature retreat. Manicured gardens blend into paddocks, fruit trees, berry patches, and vegetable beds, leading further into a secluded two-acre rainforest and onward to a crystal-clear creek along the property boundary, known for platypus sightings. Guests are encouraged to wander, explore, and reconnect with the rhythms of the land at their own pace.

Outdoor living is a defining feature of the estate. The north-facing 10-metre infinity saltwater pool commands sweeping escarpment views and sits alongside alfresco dining and a BBQ area designed for relaxed entertaining. As evening falls, the firepit becomes a gathering place for sundowners beneath a star-filled sky, while the more adventurous may take a torch at dusk to spot wombats emerging across the paddocks. Heronwood is a place for quiet celebration, meaningful connection, and luxurious stillness—ideal for those seeking a truly tranquil country escape.
