Berida Hotel is a beautiful place to stay in Bowral, with so much charm and character. The hotel has kept its classic old style while giving everything a fresh and elegant feel, so it feels unique.

It is located just outside the centre of Bowral, but you can still walk into town in around 15 minutes if you want to explore the shops, head out for dinner or simply enjoy a stroll.

The grounds are beautiful, but one of our favourite parts of the hotel was how cosy all the spaces felt. There is an onsite restaurant, Bistro Sociale, which is lovely for dinner, as well as Aspinalls Bar and Lounge where you can settle into an armchair beside the fireplace with a whisky or cocktail. It is especially nice during the cooler months and makes the hotel feel like a proper country escape.
