Welcome to Tapitallee Lodges.
Rest and relax in a pet friendly, beautiful, romantic rural setting.
Our guests enjoy country hospitality and we actually check our emails twice a day so we can answer any inquiries.
Our motto is "We treat our guests as we would like to be treated"
The Stables at Tapitallee has two bedrooms, one with a queen size bed and the other with two single beds, two bathrooms, a full kitchen and room to move. The Stables is located amongst the trees with a large grassy area in front of the cottage. It is 375 metres off Illaroo Road so you enjoy the birds, the wombats, the bush and your own tree change. If you want to get away from the rush and bustle of the city the Stables will be your idea of heaven.

Wisteria Cottage has two bedrooms, one bathroom, outside barbeque shade cloth covered area and an unbelievable view across the Shoalhaven Flood Plain to the Tasman Sea. It is located above The Stables and is an ideal retreat for a couple to escape Sydney or Canberra. Wisteria Cottage is suited to longer stays as it has a laundry.

Both cottages have reverse cycle air conditioning units for your year round comfort.
The Stables has a slow combustion fire while Wisteria Cottage has an open fire.
Tapitallee Lodges warn The Stables may not be suitable for young children due to the close by dams.
Guests have commented on the flowers in the rooms, Trev's yummy bread, country hospitality and the old way to a woman's heart, farm eggs when they are available (the eggs that is). We are raising 20 chickens so we can do our own farm eggs and also keep our grand daughters happy because they can nurse the chickens. You can also enjoy the wildlife with wombats out at dusk, deer at anytime, black wallabies, echidnas, bandicoots, recently lyrebirds, frogs, tortoise and then there is the rest of the birdlife.
Both cottages are self catering. There are enough provisions in the pantry to get you through your first breakfast (and a fair bit more) and the rest is up to you. There is a pantry stocked with light foods, pasta, soup etc. You will go past the Cambewarra local Post Office shop to get here. The North Nowra shopping centre/tavern is located about 10 kilometres away.

Enjoy a fresh coffee with your own ground beans, which we supply. On arrival enjoy our hospitality with a bottle of wine, Nowra cheese (when available), biscuits and a loaf of Trev's yummy homemade bread.
The showers do not have water saving heads so you will get plenty of water. However, the showers do have a six minute timer on them. After all, the water comes from a tank and we all have to save water.
There is a small "use and replace" wine cellar in the kitchen. You are welcome to the wine on the proviso that you replace the wine you drink with that of an equivalent quality.
There is coffee maker, a slow cooker, a rice cooker, and a barbecue. Enough for you to enjoy your meals in both cottages. There are 1000 thread sheets and pillow cases. Towels are supplied. The fully equipped kitchen comes with a dishwasher, microwave oven and a fridge. There is also an outside barbeque.
Water comes from a rainwater tank so there are no nasty chemicals. The water to the toilets comes from our main dam so we don’t waste the valuable rainwater.
Tapitallee is located southwest of Berry and just over the hill southeast of Kangaroo Valley. It is a beautiful area with many attractions such a wineries, ceramics, orchids, bonsai, slab timbers, Bundanon and Riversdale. We are also close to the Berry Markets on the first Sunday of each month. The Kangaroo Valley markets are close by.
The Stables at Tapitallee was included in the Saturday Sydney Morning Herald's Good Weekend 52 Weekends which reviewed holiday accommodation in Australia and New Zealand. The honest part of this review is you can't pay to get into it. Guests book in anonymously and if you make the grade they write a review.
