Regional hospitality, redefined — seven architecturally distinct residences across Berry, NSW, anchored by their own farm-to-table restaurant.
Seven private residences. One connected ecosystem of accommodation, agriculture and dining. The space and privacy of a luxury home, with the service, concierge and kitchen of a five-star hotel.
When an agent asks "what makes you different?", these are the answers. Lead with the restaurant. Always.
Sara Dining, led by Alex Prichard, former culinary director of Icebergs Dining Room and Bar. Room service and private dining to every residence.
All within a couple of minutes of each other. Book a whole residence, just a suite or two midweek, or take the entire collection for a multi-location event.
Concierge, transfers and staffing — delivered into private homes with no shared corridors or lobbies. Evening turn-down available.*
Highland cows, goats, sheep and chickens. Edible gardens that feed the kitchen. Agriculture you can walk through.
Each residence is its own architectural statement. Owner-built, owner-run, with a genuine point of view on every detail.
Saunas, cold plunges, an eight-person hot tub, infrared sauna, yoga barn and a heated meditation hut over the lake.
Both farms can receive a helicopter landing — guests can touch down directly on the property. Concierge coordinates the rest.
Every package is customised. "Let's do that" is the house approach to any idea a guest brings to the table.
The core of every conversation: who goes where, and how many they hold. Two farms on Coolangatta Road, plus the in-town residences a short walk from Berry's main strip.
Berry, NSW — South Coast. Town residences sit within 180m of each other and 300m from the main strip. The farms are minutes away. Sydney and Canberra are both an easy drive.
Both Linnaeus Farm and Moraea Farm can receive a helicopter landing. Arrive by air, step onto the property, and let concierge handle transfers, dining and the itinerary from the moment you touch down. The ultimate arrival for VIP guests and executive groups.
The same seven homes flex across markets. Select an audience to see how the product is positioned and what it includes.
Inspired by Carl Linnaeus' wife, Sara Moraea — a woman of clarity and cultivation. Sara is not simply a place to dine. It is an expression of land, light and lineage.
Led by Alex Prichard, acclaimed chef and former culinary director of Icebergs Dining Room and Bar. The food represents the land itself: built around the on-site garden, honouring the region's producers and farmers.
"Stripping things back to what matters — the ingredient, the season, the region. Grounded in the countryside, but quietly elevated." — Alex Prichard
"Curated to make your visit truly unforgettable." The full menu of food, wellness, adventure and farm life — all bookable through one concierge.
One point of contact for the whole stay — bookings, transfers, dining and special requests.
Beds turned, room reset and readied for the night. Optional, available on request.
Land directly on either farm. The ultimate VIP entrance.
Your own chef in your residence — canapés to degustation.
Multiple locations, including the meditation hut over the lake.
Private classes in the barn or by the water.
Customised infusions by registered nurses.
Sauna, cold plunge and hot tub at both farms.
Pop-up bar, staff and cocktail-making classes.
With chef Alex Prichard at Moraea Farm.
Private sessions with Luxury Clay in the barn.
Highland cows, goats, sheep, chickens and fresh eggs.

Woebegone Dive & Snorkel, plus fishing with a local.
Gerringong Golf Course — Tasman Sea on every hole.
Canoeing, abseiling, hiking and camping with Valley Outdoors.

Truth is, photos don't do the properties justice. A site visit is highly recommended — and every package can be tailored to whatever you have in mind.
