Sheridan Rogers - Travel writer Sunday Telegraph Top of the Class – Woodbyne is a lesson in luxury comfort. There’s a wonderfully sweet smell in the air as you enter the old schoolhouse – the Garden Room - at Woodbyne, just south of Berry, on the NSW south coast. Is it the perfectly poached vanilla pears? The pale pink plums and peaches? Or the delectable croissant pudding?“People ring ahead for our pudding,” says Annette Moore. “We’re known for our breakfasts, and it’s the most popular dish with our regulars. Some requests come from as far away as New York, France and England.” Lighter and more luscious than the normal bread-and-butter pudding, this one is studded with currants and strewn with berries. Breakfasts are a highlight at this luxurious boutique hotel. Set in the large Garden Room next to the main house, they comprise quintessential country fare with dishes such as sliced avocado, smoked salmon and caper mayo on Turkish toast, chive frittata with sautéed mushrooms, and scrambled eggs with bacon or smoked salmon. Annette and her husband, Jeff, have owned, developed and been running Woodbyne for over fifteen years; they have expanded the number of rooms available and vastly improved other features of the property. You’d swear they’d had a team of interior decorators and landscape gardeners in, but this talented pair (Jeff is a chartered accountant; Annette has a degree from Sydney University in archaeology) have done all the work and planning themselves. More recently, Jeff has encircled a large parkland area below the hotel with deciduous magnolias and leylandii. Although their stamp is apparent in every nook and cranny of the house and garden Jeff and Annette are discreet hosts who make you feel as though the house and the garden belong to you alone. “It’s about giving people time out,” Annette says. “Most of our guests are in the 25 – 40 age group and don’t get time together as couples until they come here.” “We may not see much of them for the whole weekend.” Annette also has an excellent eye for design – something that’s clear the moment you step through the front door into the elegant guest lounge. In the cooler months, open log fires and plump sofas make this a perfect place to relax. It’s also an ideal meeting place for conference delegates (a desktop computer with broadband Internet access is set up there) or for bridal groups. Woodbyne’s guest rooms are decorated in muted shades of cream, beige and white, they’re elegantly furnished with king beds, plump armchairs, stylish lamps, TV’s, DVD players – and no phones. Each one looks out over the surrounding leafy gardens, creeks and meadows. |
