About Us

A private, peaceful and luxurious retreat for a couple, with lush, wraparound views of the escarpment and beyond.

Designed to sit lightly on the landscape, Taylor’s of Berry is owned by local Berry residents Neale Whitaker and David Novak-Piper who moved permanently to the Shoalhaven from Sydney in 2018, after enjoying weekends and holidays in the region for many years. It was the couple’s dream to create luxury accommodation for guests to enjoy and experience a place that was very special to them. 

Working with a Berry-based architectural designer and builder to bring their dream to fruition, Neale and David have styled the accommodation with a unique ‘country luxe’ aesthetic that blends contemporary comfort with carefully-edited vintage pieces and Australian artworks. The restful interior palette and simple exterior landscaping have been chosen to reflect and harmonise with the beautiful rural views. 

Taylor’s of Berry is an ideal spot from which to explore the Shoalhaven region – or simply relax and dream.
