About this property
Saddleback Cottage - Hill Pudding Farm
Pudding Hill Farm, a couples retreat, is nestled in the emerald landscape of Foxground Valley, less than two hours from Sydney and under three hours from Canberra. Its 10 minutes from the quaint town of Berry or the beaches of Gerringong and Gerroa. One of the hidden treasures south of Sydney, Foxground is hugged by the escarpment and encompasses rolling green hills, rich farmland, a beautiful crystal clear spring fed creek (Broughton Creek), peace and tranquillity.
We offer two cottages (Saddleback Cottage and Broughton Cottage) allowing you the choice of a relaxing couples getaway or book both cottages for two couples.
Our farm starts at the foot of the valley and stretches up into the rainforest, horseshoed by the escarpment and views of the ocean, it's the perfect setting to relax and forget about the demands of daily life. It's also a great base so that you can explore the local area, browse the shops and markets of Berry and Gerringong, engage with us on the working farm, visit the local wineries and top class restaurants….or do them all!
On arrival, you will be greeted with a cheese plate and locally produced wine. Our brand new cottages are beautifully furnished and have a self-contained kitchenette with enough equipment for you to stay indoors and not leave the farm. We will also provide a selection breakfast items such as cereals, fresh farm eggs, fresh milk, local bread, coffee (Nespresso machine) and tea. We have alfresco dining with your own BBQ and numerous outdoor settings giving you the choice of ocean or escarpment views. Relax on the Adirondack chairs and read a book or snooze on the comfy daybed.
Other features include a digital TV with USB port, Bluetooth speakers to listen to your own music, a selection of board games, large bath including underfloor heating in the bathroom.
Enjoy the experience of more than 45 varieties of bird life and 22 variety of native animals. The local mob of kangaroos and wallabies will welcome you in the morning and late in the afternoon. Watch in the afternoon as the black cockatoos or flying foxes (this is how "Foxground" gets its Anglo name) glide majestically across the valley. You will be spoilt with the choice of watching the sun set across the valley or the moon rise.

We had the most amazing weekend away at Saddleback Cottage. The place was perfect, and the location was the ideal spot to enjoy the peaceful surroundings for a few days. We will definitely be back!
Another wonderful stay at this lovely cottage, great place to relax and unwind. View from verandah is spectacular. Great breakfast provided, and hosts very attentive, when small problem arose, which was rectified immediately.Looking forward to returning for some R&R.

Hi Bridget,
Wanted to thank you for the stay at lovely property. Whilst the weather was pretty bad, these types of weekends away are still great.....
We appreciated the very nice food and drink you stocked the place with! The views were amazing!
Relaxing Retreat with Spectacular Countryside Views
What amazing views! Just like out of a painting. The perfect place to relax and leave the city behind. The cottage was modern, cosy and had everything you could want for a short stay. It was an easy drive to Crooked River Winery for a lovely long lunch.

We stayed in the Saddleback cottage on the very top of the hill. We arrived at night and were blown away with how this cottage looked and felt.
It is very inviting, clean and well laid out.
The personal touches by Bridget, the bread, jams, cheeses, butter, eggs and wine make you feel very special.
But the thing that takes your breath away with this property from almost every angle, is the views....absolutely stunning any time of the day.
We would like to come back again one day.
Thank you Bridget, a very memorable stay
Fabulous peaceful and relaxing stay. Glimpses of kangaroos and lots of black cockatoos. Spectacular views. Luxurious deep bath.
Thanks for the jump start so we could leave !
What a location, views of the ocean and the green countryside of foxground.
A short drive from Sydney located between berry and Gerringong, lots to do.
The cottage was well laid out and had everything we needed.
We will be back.
This is the perfect location to enjoy peace, exploring and offering rural with closeness of the beaches. Saddleback was spotless and provided everything we needed. A beautiful outlook.Our hosts also respected our privacy with the offer they would attend to anything we needed. Highly recommend this piece of paradise!
