2 Bedroom House in Bundewallah, Berry

A stilt house which elevates you to the tree tops, Khan Cottage has a spectacular outlook over the Illawarra Escarpment and its own 135 acres of land. From the wraparound deck, hear the rush of the creeks after rainfall and the raucous call of rainforest birds and kookaburras in sunshine. Swing in the hammock with only the call of the Whip Birds to disturb you. You are looking out over one of the most successful rainforest regeneration projects in the region. South Coast beaches are a fifteen-minute drive away.
Despite our faraway feel, vibrant Berry with its many cafes and shops is a five-minute drive from the house. Seven Mile Beach and Gerroa Beach, boutique wineries and excellent restaurants are on our doorstep. You are also close to Kangaroo Valley and the stunning beaches of Jervis Bay National Park.
We, the owners, do not live on the property which means that the house, its environs, the mown path to the creek and beautiful views are all yours for the duration of your stay making Khan Cottage a very private and peaceful retreat for two to four people. It is located at the foot of the escarpment along Bundewallah Road which is itself a lovely long and rural lane along which to walk. A public walking track up to old-growth rainforest begins just past our lower gate. The cottage is a two-hour drive from Sydney, south along the new Princes Motorway.
Facilities
Khan Cottage is fully self-contained. The accommodation includes two bedrooms: one queensize with its own deck and one double bedroom, both supplied with quality linen and towels. The house is lovingly furnished and maintained and is equipped with a kitchen, bathroom, woodburning stove, gas heater, Bluetooth speaker with an aux cable for connection to your phone. There is no wi fi at the house. Khan Cottage is a place to enjoy its absence. Should you need access to the internet this is available at cafes in Berry where there is also 'in-town free wi fi' available 24 hours a day. Please note that there is a minimum two-night stay and the weekend tariff applies to both a Friday and Saturday night OR a Saturday and Sunday night. Two-nights midweek are charged at $650 (plus VRBO fees). The lower nightly rate applies after the initial two nights. Two person rates are for one-bedroom use.
Khan Cottage's rainforest restoration project
Over twenty years ago when we bought the land, our creeks - like most in the Illawarra - were dense privet, lantana and other weeds. Today they are regenerating Illawarra Subtropical Rainforest, a Critically Endangered Vegetation Community. It is a life-long endeavour to return as much of our property to this endangered rainforest as we can. To do so requires hard work in often unpleasant conditions and we have dedicated countless thousands of hours in labour and many tens of thousands of dollars to ensuring its success. We have been awarded Federal, State and local government grants to assist us towards this end. In March 2020, the property was granted Biodiversity Conservation status by the NSW government. This conservation status was awarded not because of any pre-existing vegetation on the property but because of the rare young rainforest that now stands where at the start of our tenure there grew only privet. Your stay at Khan Cottage enables us to continue financing this project.

This 2 Bedrooms House provides accommodation with View, Ocean View, Balcony/Terrace, for your convenience. This House features many amenities for guests who want to stay for a few days, a weekend or probably a longer vacation with family, friends or group.

Summary: Beautiful location and close to shops and local attractions. Only feedback was that it was unbearably hot during the day and without aircon, ceiling fans or stand fans, we went out during the day rather than suffer through the heat. The large doors bring a wonderful breeze in but without screens, the bugs put a stop to that.Overall was a wonderful place and it'd be amazing in the winter with the fire and view.Host was great and communicated regularly and clearly.

Summary: What a wonderful place to escape from it all! Just us and the forest and the birds (and the echidna, wombat and wallaby!) A beautiful location, a lovely house, completely private, but a short drive to Berry for anything we needed.

Summary: Stayed 3 nights at Khan Cottage. It was immaculate and wonderful. Just the tonic needed for some rest, relaxation and contemplation. Feels so secluded seems like it’s a million miles from anywhere but still really close to Berry!! I tried to count the different birds singing and there were so many I lost track. Spent hours in the hammock. Loved it.

Summary: Dark nights and Green days. Surrounded by trees during the day with the sounds of fast flowing water close by ever present. The living space had light through many windows and doors. The small & well placed kitchen was modern and appropriate. The bedrooms were snug and comforting. Small thoughtfully placed windows became pictures to the outside trees and sky on the journey between the living and sleeping floors. From the outside the house appears old and somewhat precarious. Inside it is modern, robust and made of simple but effective materials. Khan Cottage is well suited to those that want solitude and respite from the electronic noise of contemporary life. Make sure you take a few books and your favourite music.

Summary: We spent a very cosy two nights at Khan cottage. It was so warm with the fire roaring. We saw and heard many different birds, as well as kangaroos and an echidna! Beds were warm and comfortable, everything was clean and easy. Berry is about a 10 minute drive, and we loved popping out to get coffee and lunch there, as well as visiting the shops and the markets. The TV/DVD was not working which was a little disappointing but it was actually really lovely to switch off anyway! We had limited phone reception but were prepared for this, and that was fine :) Overall a gorgeous spot and we would definitely come back.
