One of Australia’s top luxury getaways – the hidden hilltop haven of Mt Hay Retreat on the NSW South Coast, is offering the choice place for an extra-slow, midweek stay this spring.
Hovering alluringly over the emerald valleys of the Shoalhaven above the charming town of Berry, the multi-award-winning retreat is offering an indulgent, three-night ‘Midweek Escape’ package for bookings made by October 30, 2026.
Mt Hay Retreat won Silver in the five-star luxury accommodation category at the Australian Tourism National Awards in March this year after winning Gold as the best five-star luxury accommodation in NSW at the NSW Tourism Awards last November. Mt Hay Retreat also won Gold at the NSW Tourism Awards in 2024, and Silver at the subsequent Australian Tourism Awards in 2024. The string of awards for the luxury property has included the coveted Gold award for five-star luxury accommodation in Australia at the National Tourism Awards, 2022.
The adults-only property pampers guests with abundant tranquility, seclusion, service and indulgence. With a luxurious king bed, exceptionally large living room, kitchenette and a private deck with expansive views towards the Pacific Ocean, each of the custom suites is a complete sanctuary, with every element designed to soothe and revitalise.
While some suites offer tranquil, in-room soaking experiences in deep bathtubs, others invite you to relax in outdoor baths with endless views. The thrilling ‘Cloud Swing’ promises an exhilarating experience high above the meadows, and the retreat’s magnificent 33m-long heated pool and spa offer a warm embrace. Berry’s lively cafes, restaurants, and boutiques are only ten minutes away, and relaxing massages are offered on-site.
Mt Hay Retreat’s ‘Midweek Escape’ package this spring includes three nights’ accommodation between Sunday and Thursday nights, a chilled bottle of champagne, local cheeseboard, hand-made, chocolate-dipped strawberries and a decadent, late checkout of noon, all available from $1200 per couple (valued normally at $1445). Book by October 30, 2026.
