Berry Suburb Profile

Characterised by its heritage buildings, rolling hills, green pastures, and pristine coastline, Berry is a village with year-round appeal, embodying all the charm of country living but with boutique, antique, and designer stores that provide a sophisticated edge. Living in Berry means enjoying Queen Street as the main hub, brimming with eateries and cafés that people are talking about well beyond the bounds of the South Coast region. The bi-monthly markets bring local producers and artisans together and are supported by a strong local community.
Heritage buildings with wrought-iron balconies sprinkled throughout the town hint at a bygone era, and weatherboard cottages with fairy-tale gardens have a nostalgic ambience that plays into Berry’s rustic elegance. The leafy streets of towering gum trees and jacarandas in the village give way to sturdy roads that meander through the countryside, connecting homesteads with sweeping acreages to the rugged coastline of Seven Mile Beach.
It is picturesque, quiet, and utterly alluring, and locals love it this way. Living in Berry offers a lifestyle where residents can share all that’s beautiful about the area with out-of-towners who come on weekends for a taste of the good life.
Area Features
Seven Mile Beach National Park
Berry’s very own stretch of coastline and national parkland, Seven Mile Beach National Park is a popular haunt for surfers and four-wheel drive enthusiasts.
Berry Village
Rustically beautiful, Berry has a real charm with its foodie hangouts, art galleries, antiques, homewares and boutique stores.
Food Scene
Berry has rightfully claimed a spot on the state’s foodie scene. Its popular eateries and cafés serve wholesome food and delicious treats, think Donut Van, Berry Woodfired sourdough Bakery and Il Locale Gelato.
Country Life
Berry once had a flourishing dairy and timber cutting industry, but as that has dwindled, locals have turned to hospitality and tourism – and they do it well. Picture-book homesteads and intimate cottages welcome visitors at farm stays and retreats.
Whether your family has been in Berry for generations or you are new to the area, the local community is tight. Berry’s small community has it all – young families, empty nesters, farmers, professionals and creatives. In more recent times, Berry has seen an influx of Sydneysiders moving to the area, attracted to the much slower rural lifestyle. And although things are quiet during the week, come the weekend the village is buzzing with tourists.
