DOWN ON THE FARM : Berry NSW stays

In the December 2025 Christmas Edition of Country Style Magazine, Moraea Farm is beautifully profiled as a charming and luxurious farmstay in Berry on the NSW South Coast. Introduced under the headline “Down on the Farm”, the feature invites readers to meet Moraea’s Highland cows, goats, chooks and sheep — each with a name and personality — and to step inside one of the region’s most inviting country escapes.

Country Style captures the delicate balance Moraea achieves between elegance and ease. While the estate is thoughtfully styled, it never feels overly arranged or untouchable — instead, it is warm, welcoming and deeply homely. As you wind along the gravel driveway past lush gardens, the farmhouse comes into view: a place where relaxed luxury meets the timeless charm of Australian country living.

Inside, the editorial highlights the refined simplicity of Moraea’s design: a curved cream sofa facing the fireplace, a modern farmhouse kitchen with a freestanding cooker and butler’s sink, a generous island bench, and a dining table that seats 12. Outdoors, long lunches unfold beneath the pergola, supported by a barbecue, pizza oven and drinks fridge — all just steps from the sparkling pool and sun-drenched lawn.

Moraea Farm offers flexible accommodation for extended families and groups, with three beautifully appointed farmhouse bedrooms — all with ensuites — plus a cosy bunk room for little guests. A separate two-bedroom studio sits just beyond the wraparound verandah, creating a private haven ideal for multi-generational stays. Reserve the whole estate for up to 12 guests, or book the farmhouse or studio individually.

The property is brought to life by its resident animals: Stan and John the Highland cattle, Paulina and Theresa the mischievous goats, a flock of sheep whose names all begin with V, and the chooks who reside in their own picture-perfect henhouse near the abundant vegetable garden. Guests are welcomed with a basket of fresh produce and a selection of gourmet treats from Berry’s celebrated local suppliers.

Despite being only five minutes from Berry’s boutiques, cafés and iconic Donut Van, Moraea Farm feels a world away — a peaceful sanctuary where children and adults alike can reconnect with nature, animals and the rhythms of countryside living. As Country Style writes, it is “the ultimate farm experience and countryside escape.”
