Privacy space comfort. Visit Bundanon Stay at Heron's Rest @ Tapitallee Lodges

Looking at visiting Bundanon Art Museum? The Boyd Education Centre? The new development at Riversdale? Tapitallee Lodges are the closest affordable accommodation.
Heron's Rest is pet friendly with the restriction being two small dogs. Big dogs, a dam close by, cattle next door and a tiled floor do not mix.
If you need to get away and relax then Heron's Rest is for you, it's also a pretty romantic get away.
After so many marriage proposals here ask us if we can located some roses, champagne and chocolates. Give us a bit of time and we can do a package for that proposal, anniversary, apology or an attempt for Brownie Points.
Built on the edge of a farm dam Heron's Rest has a wonderful pontoon out the front with seating for four, a small fire box and a view which will blow away all those cares and worries.
Inside there is a modern fully equipped kitchen and living room.
Each bedroom has its own large ensuite and queen sized bed. There is a large amount of storage in each ensuite.
Your booking is for the whole cottage. If you require the second bedroom just let us know.
There is only ever one booking at a time in Heron's Rest so you will never have to share with anyone.
Although not built as being wheelchair friendly Heron's Rest has proved easy for a person in a small wheelchair to get around inside. The ensuites consist of a fixed head and a hand held shower head.
As this property is right on the edge of a dam children will need parental supervision.
Berry and Kangaroo Valley are about 20 minutes away and we are the closest accommodation to Riversdale and Bundanon. It is an easy trip to the surf at Seven Mile Beach, Jervis Bay and Huskisson.
Riversdale, the Arthur and Yvonne Education Centre is close by. Bundanon is spending $30 million building a new gallery, coffee shop and education accommodation.
The new close by horse stables and round yards will soon be finished. The Boyd homestead is also open on Saturday and Sunday. It is also worth the trip to the Cambewarra Lookout for breakfast or for my favourite, the curly fries. And if you really want the best of the best go to Flame in North Nowra and ask for their garlic prawns and bread to mop up the sauce. The prawns are not on the menu so you have to ask for them. If you are really hungry try their pork ribs which are to die for plus the Greek salad and pizza. To be really decadent try their pizzas as well. I’m not on commission but these young people are tops. If you are into the best fish and chips, actual awards, go to the Pelican Rocks at Greenwell Point, breakfast and lunch only. How about high tea at Cambewarra Estate? Other than the lookout you will need to book ahead. With Flame you will need to order the ribs and prawns.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cottage, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
A complimentary breakfast is included.
Guests will find features like onsite parking.
A complimentary breakfast is offered.

Perfect Escape
Had an absolutely wonderful stay at Heron’s Rest for 3 nights. We attended a wedding at Bundanon and staying here meant we only had a 5 minute drive! It was a lovely surprise to find freshly home baked bread upon our arrival and we ate it all! We slept serenely at night and enjoyed all the amazing wildlife during the day! Thanks ao much for having us!

Unique setting, comfort charm and great bird watching
Heron’s Rest was a great find. It offered a unique setting to relax in comfort and was only a few minutes away from Bundanon and the excellent gallery there. We used it as a base to explore the Shoalhaven Trev and Carol were helpful unobtrusive hosts with good local advice to share. We enjoyed our stay at Heron’s Rest very much. And there were wombats!

We chose to have a very quiet Xmas this year. Staying for 4 nights at Heron’s Rest was peaceful calm and serene. The surroundings and scenery are beautiful with the dam taking centre stage with lotus flowers bobbing and blooming. A glass of wine on the pontoon and watching our dog get control of her ‘Pontoon legs’ was very entertaining! We had everything we needed in the accommodation. The skyscraper loaf of bread was sublime. We would definitely return. Thanks again to our hosts.

Heron's Rest @Tapitallee Lodges
The impression of the property is pretty much as you see in the pictures, with some more lilli pads out on the water. My eldest son and I stayed for two nights. The hosts, Trev and Carol were a friendly couple. who made our stay Upon entering the holiday house there was a bottle of red and a freshly baked loaf of bread and nibbles. In the fridge were all the fresh ingredients for a hearty breakfast in the morning. A large wombat moseyed across the balcony. We left the windows open both evenings to listen to the chorus of different frog sounds. In the mornings skinks a small water dragons sun baked on the pontoon in the morning sun. I highly recommend a stay at the Heron's Rest @ Tapitalee Lodges. We look forward to going back there again. Thanks Trev and Carol

Quiet cottage in a lovely setting
The cottage overlooks the wide section of a creek which is filled with lotus and waterlilies, and it has a wooden pontoon which we found perfect for breakfasts and sundowners. The cottage is comfortable and peaceful, and we liked the facts that the interior is simple and unfussy, that the property is dog friendly and that there are things to do in the area if you're so inclined, but what we really appreciated was the generous supply of breakfast items, especially the fresh baked bread. Thank you Trev and Carol.

Fantastic hosts provide generous and personalized amenities - everything you need. Setting is the most beautiful natural environment you could imagine. Pond immediately out the front door with pontoon pier and patio provided perfect opportunity to be among the birds while enjoying a snack and drink. Spacious rooms to relax, sparking and clean on arrival. Nearby points of interest. We loved it and would highly recommend for a great experience and stay.

Most enjoyable stay
Apart for the exquisite location (3km from Bundanon) and tranquil meals on the pontoon, what stood out for us was the generosity of Trevor and Carol. Fresh baked bread, and a fridge equipped with bacon, eggs, milk. Many more thoughtful touches. There was no WiFi but there was reasonable 3/4G so that was not a problem. Highly recommended.

It was a perfect stay close to the Arthur Boyd arts centre at Bundanon. The host was very welcoming and the homemade bread was the best. We enjoyed the peace and quiet, although the night song of frogs in the pond did add to the rural scene.

We loved our stay - the lodge feels like you're miles away from civilisation and is very well equipped. Bed was very comfortable and the spot by the lagoon is beautiful and tranquil. The personal touches like fresh homemade bread and firewood for a bonfire on the platoon really made our stay. Thanks again
