This home is designed with comfort and relaxation in mind - a wood burning fireplace in the living room keeps the house cosy on those chilly winter nights, and the large living room with a leafy outlook and flat-screen TV provides the ideal place to sit back and unwind. The house offers WiFi and features a gorgeous office space that would be ideal for remote workers or students.

Banksia is situated in a beautiful location on a quiet street surrounded by forest. There are countless opportunities for hiking and sightseeing nearby. Tapitallee nature reserve is a few minutes away and is an excellent place to go for walk, have a picnic lunch, or enjoy the natural scenery. Cambewarra Estate Winery is just down the road and is a fantastic place to have a drink and appreciate the local wine culture. This boutique winery is family run and features a restaurant, cellar door, high tea, and an outdoor Wine Deck with a stunning view of the vineyard. Other nearby wineries include Two Figs Winery, Silos Estate, Coolangatta Estate Winery, and Mountain Ridge Wines. Another great option for a day trip is the Shoalhaven Zoo. The zoo displays a wonderful range of native and exotic animals. Guests can immerse themselves in the local wildlife by participating in animal encounters and attending informative shows. The neighbouring areas are just as fun to explore. The picturesque town of Berry is 20 minutes from Tapitallee and is home to some excellent cafes, bars and eateries including the popular Hungry Monkey Café and the highly reviewed restaurant South on Albany. Shoalhaven Heads, Kangaroo Valley, and Gerroa are easy drives from this location and provide fantastic spots for swimming, shopping, and dining out.

Terms and Conditions: Detailed T&Cs apply for this property, and payment warrants your agreement and that of all other guests staying at the property with you. Please share the T&Cs with your other guests.

Check-in and -out Times: During the busy months of December and January, the check-in time is 4 pm to facilitate peak back-to-back changeovers. Our standard check-in time is 3 pm and check-out time is 10 am. We offer a complimentary early check-in or late check-out time as a gesture of goodwill where booking and housekeeping schedules allow. Note that due to demand and housekeeping pressures, no early check-ins or late check-outs will be granted during the months of December and January. The safest way to secure an early check-in or later check-out is to book the property for an extra night. Contact us for a special rate for this extra night. All Sunday late check outs must be requested and approved prior to 5 pm on the Friday evening prior. All complimentary early check-ins or late check-outs must be confirmed in writing so that our housekeeping team are informed accordingly.
