GUEST COMMENTS

Hi Annette and Jeff,
Thank you again for such a wonderful weekend. As always, everything was fantastic. The food is always exceptional but I must say your chef Graeme Jones outdid himself this year. It was superb. Your breakfast was just wonderful as well.
Thanks again for making our weekend such a success.
Kind regards,
Lori Feely


Dear Annette and Jeff,
Thank you for your warm hospitality and for assisting Mike to arrange the flowers and chocolates for the proposal.
It was a very memorable weekend and we both really enjoyed staying at your boutique hotel.
Warmest Regards,
Natalie Michaels


My husband and I stayed at Woodbyne in December and only one word to describe this beautiful, boutique hotel, WOW !!!
We loved everything about it from the hosts to the beautiful gardens to the absolutely gorgeous breakfast set in an old school house.
We could not fault it and found the owners to be charming and helpful. A very very well appointed establishment. Congratulations.
We will certainly be returning.
Peter and Carol Sheppard


We were recently guests at Woodbyne for a four night stay. The hotel is a stylish boutique establishment and as a small private hotel we were aware that it wouldn’t offer ‘usual’ hotel services. Having said that, it was exactly what we needed after a hectic week and a half with friends and family in Sydney before we returned back to Singapore.
The hosts were as available or not as we wanted them to be – just our cup of tea. When we wanted local knowledge or advice on our activities for the day, we were able to seek their knowledge and guidance, and if we wanted to wander the grounds, enjoy the lounge area or remain in the sanctuary of our room without any contact, we were left to our own devices – this, for us, exemplifies boutique, private hotel service.
Our room was simply but elegantly furnished with a wonderful landscape vista of the lush Berry-countryside - the non-stop rain for almost the entire four days contributed to the lushness but certainly didn’t dampen our spirits to explore and enjoy the area and wider surrounds.
The bed was comfort-plus and as certified breakfast connoisseurs we were impressed with the fresh, local produce ensuring our bodies were well-rested and bellies well-fed for an energising start to each day.
The property entrance is located on a main highway, but we weren't bothered by the traffic in the slightest. A triphappypair recommended establishment!

Just spent 2 lovely days at Woodbyne. It's one of the nicest places we have stayed at and best breakfast ever! Looking forward to doing it again in October.
Gai and Col Ritchie


Dear Annette
My husband and I stayed at Woodbyne last Thursday evening and were absolutely thrilled with the elegance of your hotel and your warm service.
I had heard from several people how delicious the breakfast is at Woodbyne, and they certainly were not wrong, thankyou for a delicious start to our drive home. My eggs were cooked to perfection, but what really caught my interest was your sweet offering at the fruit table, I’m thinking a berry bread and butter pudding? I know a big ask, but would it be possible to get your recipe, for my personal use only? I do though, fully understand if you would like to keep this recipe to yourself, but needed to ask, as I have searched and searched through Google and cannot find anything that resembles it.
Many thanks for a lovely stay,
Annette Chappell


Hi Annette and Jeff,
My wife and I had a really enjoyable time at your hotel, as did everyone in our group, and we compliment you and your staff for making our stay memorable. Food was excellent, ambiance brilliant!
Thank you,
Craig Hickey


Hi Annette and Jeff,
Thanks again for another great weekend at Woodbyne. Everyone had a great time. The four new couples really loved Woodbyne.
As always, the rooms, the attention to detail and, of course, the food was superb. You both do a fantastic job. We look forward to next year.
Kind Regards,
Lori


Dear Annette,
Mum and I had a wonderful stay at Woodbyne – thank you so much! The rooms, the gardens, the hospitality and the dogs were exactly what we needed!
Kind Regards,
Pam Smith.


Carla Caruso - Sunday Telegraph Escape
It had become a little like the film You, Me And Dupree.
My new hubby and I were sharing our tiny, already cramped Sydney apartment with a friend who had arrived from interstate.
It was a temporary situation which had lasted four months – our families were noticing the photos we brought home were always of the three of us.
One Friday night, desperately needing some time together, we clicked on a few last-minute accommodation sites and hit on the perfect relationship remedy – Hotel Woodbyne at Jaspers Brush, about two hours drive south of Sydney.
To me, it sounded like something out of The Wind In The Willows. Perfect.
The next morning, we snuck out early, leaving behind a quick, quilt laden note: Off for the weekend! Back Sunday afternoon x. The emancipation had begun.
After our pit stop for lunch in Bulli, we crunched up the gravel driveway to Woodbyne, a few minutes’ drive from the historical town of Berry. Co-owner Annette Moore, who has been running the boutique hotel with her husband Jeff for 15 years, signed us in at the chic guest lounge room, complete with an open log fire and Home Beautiful-style décor.
We were slightly taken aback to discover we could take our pick from the cupboard of DVD’s, books and board games – for free. It’s the type of generous hospitality city slickers, like us, are unaccustomed to.
Our pick of the 11 plush rooms was decorated in cream, beige and white, furnished with a king-size bed, plump couch and Buddha-like statues. The large windows, with white painted frames, opened onto the central garden, which featured hedge archways and a trickling water fountain.
After a bit of luxurious lazing about we headed to a local watering hole on the main strip of Queen St. for dinner.
Sated, we wandered a few doors down to the Justin Lill Wines bottle shop for a night cap. The bottles came with witty, handwritten recommendations.
We made our selection and headed back to our room, where our DVD selection awaited.
Next morning, we were awoken at 8am for our breakfast. We dodged raindrops on the way to the old schoolhouse next to the main house – The Garden Room – for our brekkie and soon decided the early morning call was well worth it, after all.
Post breakfast and after a bit of pottering around in Berry, we were back on the road again, enjoying our last few hours together as just “us”.


Sheridan Rogers    -  Travel writer Sunday Telegraph,
Top of the Class - Woodbyne is a lesson in luxury comfort.
Theres a wonderfully sweet smell in the air as you enter the old schoolhouse and 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 are known for our breakfasts, and it is 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 Moore and her husband, Jeff Moore, 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 would swear they had a team of interior decorators and landscape gardeners in, but this talented pair (Jeff Moore is a chartered accountant; Annette Moore 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 Moore and Annette Moore are discreet hosts who make you feel as though the house and the garden belong to you alone. It is about giving people time out - Annette Moore says. Most of our guests are in the 25 to 40 age group and do not get time together as couples until they come here. We may not see much of them for the whole weekend.
Annette Moore also has an excellent eye for design - something that is 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 is also an ideal meeting place for conference delegates (a desktop computer with broadband Internet access is set up there) or for bridal groups.

Woodbynes guest rooms are decorated in muted shades of cream, beige and white, they are elegantly furnished with king beds, plump armchairs, stylish lamps, TV, DVD players and no phones. Each one looks out over the surrounding leafy gardens, creeks and meadows.


Many thanks again for sending my favourite pillow back to me. It arrived today.
Thanks also to you and your staff for a really lovely weekend at Woodbyne. Di and I had such a relaxing time.
Cheers,
Jay Hannon


Sincere thanks for a wonderful stay, albeit to short!!
Didn’t get a chance to say goodbye to Annette…thanks for your hospitality, we look forward to returning to your little piece of paradise sooner rather than later.
Cheers,
Claude, Maryanne and little Sienna-Rose


Hilary Doling - Weekend Breaks
Drive through the white gates of Woodbyne and up the sweeping gravel drive and you know you have come to a very special kind of Bed and Breakfast Hotel.
It is not just the length of the drive or the immaculate gardens but more the air of tranquillity and calm.
Here is a place where the tensions of the world seem to disappear within minutes of arrival. You can almost feel your shoulders relax.
The property, built in late 1890, was once the old schoolmasters home at the Jaspers Brush school. Now it has been converted into an elegant hotel with guestrooms ranged around a central courtyard.
We pass paintings with rich, sensuous brushstrokes as we walk across the polished wood floor of the guest lounge towards our bedroom. As we open the door it is almost like stepping into a mini gallery: the large rooms with wide windows feature original art and a sculpture stands in the corner.
However, a squashy, cream sofa, a bed piled high with feather pillows, TV and DVD and en suite bathroom make the room the kind you want to lounge around in, too.
The breakfast they serve at Woodbyne is almost a masterpiece in itself.
The hotel is located 3km south of Berry so you are within easy driving distance of Kangaroo Valley or the beaches of the South Coast.
We dragged ourselves away from the rarified air of Woodbyne and drove south. The road to Currarong leads on to a four-wheel-drive track that takes you out to Point Perpendicular with its lighthouse and panoramic views of Jervis bay. After a breezy cliff walk it was back to Woodbyne to relax in the manicured grounds.
Attention to detail makes the property special.


Thanking you both for a beautiful stay ..
I will recommend you to all of my friends .
It is simply stunning, I will return ..
Kind Regards
Jaharn Turner Co principal Lithgow First national


Just wanted to let you know we had a great time in Berry & Jasper's Brush over the weekend.
Woodbyne looked absolutely amazing.... it is a great spot...We will definitely be recommending it to many friends and colleagues..
We could not have had a better weekend away....except maybe taken Monday off and stayed another night!
Thanks again for such a great weekend
Speak soon.
Mark & Tanya Weingarth


We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - one of the nicest guest houses we have been to - thank you very much
Kind Regards

Peter Hughes - Tatler Travel Guide
At the irresistibly named Jaspers Brush you will find Woodbyne, an exceptionally well-run, white-clapboard hotel. It has enormous style. Hiding behind the hedges of designer gardens, it is in a 19th-century school building, with brilliant yellow Robinia trees at one side and a giant juniper in front - black cockatoos screech in to feast on its berries.
Woodbyne marries hotel smoothness with family welcome, metropolitan cool with country comfort, informality with privacy. Think Amanresorts goes Bed and Breakfast. It has only eleven rooms, uncluttered and big, with creamy fabrics and interesting furniture. This is the way things are heading in out-of-the-way places.


I just wanted to say thanks so much for an amazing two day trip down the coast. My girlfriend and I were delighted with our stay and will definitely be seeing you again soon. Cheers.
Kind Regards
Brett Blasiar


The team were unanimous in their high praise for your hotel, service, food, everything! Thank you for making it a successful conference and I will be recommending Woodbyne to others as the need arises.
Kind regards,

Liz Hannan - Weekender The Sun Herald Travel
There is plenty of pleasure to be had at the Woodbyne Boutique Hotel – and much of it can be found in the detail.
Certainly the features you would expect from an establishment which arguably is the NSW South Coasts finest – charming exterior, elegant interior, modern comforts and picturesque setting – are there.
Built more than a century ago as the masters house and schoolhouse for Jaspers Brush School, the hotel is tucked amongst 1.2 hectares of classic gardens and bush. Beyond the neat fences dairy cows content themselves in meadows which roll down from the escarpment.
Country lanes beckon and the mecca of Berry, replete with antiques and indulgences, lies just 3.5 kms to the north. Little wonder actress Rachel Griffiths and company booked out Woodbyne when fellow thespian Toni Collette married on her South Coast property.
So the big picture is impressive but it is in the observance of small things that Jeff Moore and Annette Moore distinguish themselves.
In place of the standard issue crockery you find in most hotels, from the most modest to the best, you can take tea in your room from patterned china that is reminiscent of what your nanna would serve - and a new pattern appears each day.
The breakfast menu, which changes daily, is scripted on crisp, white notepaper and brought to your table, which is a rare indulgence so early in the day.
They may be small things - and there are more of them - but they do make the difference.


Once again, thank you for running and offering such a tranquil and beautiful location to stay in. We enjoyed our time last weekend very much.
We would like to book again for next year please.
Kind regards,
Jennifer Angelatos

Thank you very much for a most enjoyable weekend yet again. Woodbyne is just a spectacular place to stay whether it is for a couple or a large group. It is the perfect set-up for a large group like ours. We thank you for the patience and understanding that would be required for a large (and sometimes messy) group. I certainly hope you will have us back next year as we would not think of having our golf weekend anywhere else. The food, as always, was superb and your staff most helpful.
We look forward to seeing you all next year.
Kind regards,
Lori Feely and Penny Knight


Georgina Windsor - ROOM at the INN Weekend Australian Travel
It is a wild and woolly morning, the sound of rain lashing at the windows makes staying nestled in bed at Woodbyne Boutique Hotel an appealing prospect. The rooms bay windows open onto the gardens, a gentle breeze blows in and the trickle of the creek is just audible above the rain.
If I had not sampled yesterdays breakfast, I could ignore the slight tummy rumbling and burrow down for a long sleep-in. But after tasting the warm European bread-and-butter pudding - a sinful mix of croissants, chocolate and currants baked in a creamy home-made milky custard sauce…it was so delicious - the thought of an encore performance is enough to get me out of bed.
By the time I emerge, the rain is clearing and the sun poking through the clouds. Breakfast in the Garden Room is a delicious spread of fresh juice, cereals and seasonal poached fruits (the rhubarb baked with blood orange juice and brown sugar is a standout). And, joy of joys, another croissant pudding - with strawberries and currants this time. For sheer gluttony, guests can order one of four hot dishes that change each morning. The shallot pancakes with smoked salmon, avocado and lemon butter sauce are divine - but get in quick for the popular ricotta hotcakes with strawberries and maple syrup.
Owners Annette and Jeff Moore fell in love with the 1.5ha property that includes the 110 year-old Garden Room used for breakfast, corporate retreats or wedding receptions seating up to 65 guests. Over the years, they have decorated 11 rooms in sumptuous but tasteful East-meets-West style and, with passion for gardening, have created classical gardens complete with roses, lavender, box hedges, statues and water features.
Every room has a stunning outlook, with lots of hidden benches in particularly verdant spots, perfect for curling up and reading a book. Apart from meeting fellow guests at breakfast, it is very private and the Moores have that clever knack of being both accessible and unobtrusive at the same time.
Located on the NSW south coast, Berry is a real seachange area and it is not hard to see why. Rolling green hills, a vibrant town centre and close proximity to Sydney make it an attractive option for those who want a few hectares to run cows, horses and chickens. It is the country estate with the bonus of some of the countrys best beaches just 15 minutes drive away. Truly, the best of both worlds.


Thank you for taking the trouble and expense of sending our belongings on - it was kind of you and a testament to the standard of service you offer your guests - even the absent minded ones!
We very much enjoyed our stay.
Thanks again
Paul Marx and Tracey Marx


Harry and I had a wonderful relaxing stay at Woodbyne last weekend. The room with its lovely outlook was very comfortable. The breakfasts were delicious! Your dinner suggestions were helpful. We have eaten very well this weekend!
Thanks so much.

Berry offers an education in relaxation
Woodbyne Berry, NSW A two hour drive south of Sydney, this luxurious boutique hotel gets top marks for understated rural style, and offers easy access to sun, sand and surf.
Tell me more…. Woodbyne Boutique Hotel has been operating for just fifteen years, but the property itself is no babe in the woods – it was once part of Jaspers Brush School, established 110 years ago. The reception and guest lounge, which overlooks a parterre garden and is warmed by log fires in winter, once encompassed the school masters entire home. These days, how to unwind is the only gentle lesson you will have to absorb. Each of the eleven ensuite bedrooms enjoys views of the surrounding countryside, while the interiors are a celebration of soothing creamy hues. The grounds often host wedding festivities, which wend their way to the Garden Room or Gallery.
Who goes..... Keanu Reeves and Rachel Griffiths and husband Andrew Taylor.
What to do….. Visit Berry fair, held on the first Sunday of every month. Head to Seven Mile and Werri beaches, both 10 minutes drive away. Take a bush walking or wine-tasting tour. If you feel you have not yet earned a gold star for your efforts at relaxation, order a massage in your room


The time has passed so quickly since our weekend at Woodbyne . Thanks so much for your hospitality.  Phill and I had such a wonderful time, as did all our guests. They have all continued to tell us what a very special time they had. By the way we need a new bed . Would you mind letting us know what bed we slept on. It was soooo comfortable! The choice in beds these days is mind boggling. Odd request I know, but it would really be helpful. Once again thanks. It was the best 50th birthday celebration I could have wished for.
best regards,
Sue Lasker and Phillip Lasker



We wanted to thank you for an exceptional weekend at Woodbyne.  We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and could not have picked a better and more beautiful place to hold our annual golf weekend. The rooms at Woodbyne are lovely, as is the atmosphere, and your attention to every detail is amazing.  As for the food, only one word comes to mind, 'superb'.  Your chef(s) did a stunning job as did your staff.
We also want to say thanks for your patience and understanding with such a large (and messy at times) group and for being such hospitable hosts.We look forward to seeing you all next year.
Warmest regards,
Lori Feely and Penny Knight


Simone Costi - COUNTRY HOME IDEAS Magazine
The extensive and incredibly beautiful grounds at Woodbyne look as if they are right out of the pages of that delightful classic, THE SECRET GARDEN. You, too, will be enchanted by them and want nothing more than to curl up in a leafy corner with your favourite tome.
Woodbyne Boutique hotel is located around four kilometres south of Berry on the south coast of New South Wales. It is only a couple of hours drive from Sydney, but you would never believe it once there.
The guest rooms are comfy and elegant, each with an ensuite. They are also large and attractively furnished with plump sofas, desks and a table and chairs – perfect for a lazy Sunday morning, or a quiet afternoon writing letters. They are very private, too, and all positioned around a central garden. And then there is the view. Endless vistas of meadows, creeks and the gardens are visible from each one.
The Guest Lounge is also open to visitors, and it is a lovely place to catch up with friends in front of an open fire.
When it comes to breakfast, you can not beat the one at Woodbyne. If poached vanilla pears, croissant pudding or a chive frittata sounds like your ideal brekkie, make sure you visit soon. You will have to stay at least four nights to make the most of the location, and the menu!
Woodbyne is perfect for couples looking to get away and treat themselves. It is also a good place for work conferences and a stunning location for private weddings.
Dinners can be arranged for groups of guests who book the entire property.
So what are you waiting for? Grab your favourite book, your best friend or loved one and escape to a secret garden.


Congratulations on Winning the Bed and Breakfast/Guest house or Hotel Category at the South Coast Tourism Awards.

Thanks once again.

Just a small note to say how much we enjoyed our stay at your hotel. Your rooms are lovely, clean, warm and very comfortable. The bed was wonderful! The breakfast was just the best and the setting is very charming.
Probably the nicest stay we have ever had, including, nice hotels in Sydney.
We are in business so do not get away very much, but will certainly try and make it back to Woodbyne in the very near future.
Thank you again for your personal, friendly service.
Also the dogs are lovely.
Kind regards,

Southbound - Qantas In Flight Magazine
A two-hour drive south of Sydney, Woodbyne Boutique Hotel on the New South Wales south coast is an exquisite, secluded boutique hotel overlooking meticulous gardens and vast countryside. The 1897 property was once the Jaspers Brush School. The hotels Garden Room, shaded by a 150-year-old juniper tree, was originally the old schoolhouse, and the schoolmasters home is now the hotels guest lounge and reception.
Simple, elegant guest suites are clustered around a courtyard. Breakfast is served daily in the Garden Room.
If you do not have the time to leave work behind, take it with you - group workshops can be held in the lounge or gardens. Woodbyne is minutes from historic Berry and Kangaroo Valley, and a scenic drive to picture-perfect beaches, parks and villages. And if you want to avoid the drive there, helicopter transportation can be arranged from Sydney airport.


Paul and I just wanted to send you both a note of sincere thanks for all your patience and help with the organising and smooth running of our wedding.
Your hospitality was first class and your understanding of our circumstances was very touching and appreciated.
We had a fantastic weekend and wonderful day … the atmosphere of Woodbyne and the professionalism of both of you and your staff will be remembered by us always.
We received our wedding photos last week and we couldn’t be happier with images capturing the day, Woodbyne’s gardens and the school house atmosphere.

A short note on behalf of the T.K.S. mob to say many thanks for looking after us so well last week-end.
Thank you for providing glasses and candlelight at night and for that beaut ‘al fresco’ breakfast each morning. Annette’s ‘B & B’ pudding is still as good as the first time we were there.
Kind regards from us all especially me and Rellie

Thank you so much for making our stay so memorably pleasant. After the rigors of Sydney's gastronomic and Bacchanalian excesses, Woodbyne was the perfect place to chill out and regain one's balance! Your company on our last day was especially generous and much appreciated. We both hope to be able to reciprocate the hospitality when you next hit the 'Old Country'!
Fond Regards

Our visit to Woodbyne was unforgettable.
The rooms were so inviting and comfortable, especially the beds..............
I promised myself when the time came I would replace mine with the identical model
That time is fast approaching and I would love to know the particulars
Would you reveal the secret? It will never replace your hospitality or the legendary breakfasts experienced at Woodbyne but would bring a little everyday comfort.
With thanks

Just a quick message to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay at Woodbyne - your wonderful hotel was the perfect place for a much needed relaxing weekend away. From the beautifully designed and very comfortable room, to the attention to detail that was so obvious in every aspect of the property you have created - a truly lovely place to stay...we will definitely be back! (as, I am sure, will be many of our friends that we have raved too since our return!) Thanks again.
Kind regards,

Melissa and Andrew James 


Our very sincere thanks for the perfect retreat for old and very special friends. The rooms were superbly appointed, the breakfast without question the best ever eaten and the service friendly, professional and unobtrusive. We can thoroughly recommend Woodbyne Boutique Hotel and its beautiful gardens as a unique venue for a special occasion and look forward to a return visit.
Thank you once again for your hospitality,

Thank you for a wonderful weekend at Woodbyne . I might say that I was particularly unmotivated on Wed morning. I had to sit through a grueling day-long strategy meeting and let me tell you, that the only strategy that I could muster was "oh, to be back at Woodbyne ".
Never the less, here I am back in the rat race...I look forward to coming to stay again - maybe in spring when the garden is in full bloom.
Thank you again for a restful and pleasant stay.
Many thanks

Just wanted to thank you once again for making our weekend such an enjoyable one despite the weather conditions. I could not think of a more pleasant place to spend a rainy, miserable day that at Woodbyne.

"We still have your brochure and, more importantly, wonderful memories of Woodbyne Boutique Hotel. It was an oasis for us. The nicest part of our stay in australia was staying at your lovely hotel. The rooms were so inviting and comfortable, the breakfasts "legendary", and the hospitality, from the two of you, out of this world! When we next visit Australia, and we hope it will not be too long from now, we are definitely planning a return booking to Woodbyne!
We wish you all the best
