When you book ask about our complimentary late check out and we will see what we can do for you.
Tariffs are based a couple using one bedroom and one bathroom and exclusive use of the cottage. If an extra bedroom and/or bathroom is needed just let us know.
We have had many overseas guests and others from NSW, Victoria, South Australia and Queensland.
The most outstanding part has been how really nice our guests have been. We have enjoyed their company and shared many good times.
The Stables was one of the cottages in the Good Weekend's 52 Weekends and has received rave reviews from our guests.

Welcome to the Stables. Rest and relax in a beautiful rural setting. The Stables offer two self-contained bedrooms, one ensuite and a bathroom, with a full kitchen and room to move.
The Stables warn for children that the Stables is located close by a dam. Please check the photographs.
Enjoy your own private dam and all the wild life which goes with it.
The cottage is located on the site of some old stables so with the best of imagination it is called "The Stables."
The Stables are self catering. There are enough provisions to get you through breakfast and some light foods in the pantry, the rest is up to you. The North Nowra shopping centre/tavern is located about 10 kilometres away.
There is a secure dog kennel, bring your own lock, next to The Stables so if you need to leave your pet for a while it will be secure.
We no longer take bookings for one night as it is a waste of our guests money. The Stables is designed and operated for guests who want to come here and relax and you can't unwind in one night. We do not have a high or low season rate. Our rates are the same all year round.



Your own relaxing romantic tree change at a fraction of the cost

The Stables is located amongst the trees with a large grassy area and farm dam in front of the cottage. It is located 375 metres off Illaroo Road so you enjoy the birds, the bush, wombats and your own tree change.

Sit in the sun and relax. From here you look out over the dam. You can see the bird life, listen to the frogs and see if you can spot the resident tortoise and the occasional echindna. In the evening you can watch the wombats and as the sun goes down you will be amazed by the chorus of the water life in the dam.

In winter light the slow combustion wood heater, snuggle into the lounge and enjoy. You don't even have to cut the firewood.

The showers do not have water saving heads so you will get plenty of water. However, the showers do have a six minute timer on them. After all, the water comes from a tank.



Enjoy the comlimentary homemade bread, wine and cheese on arrival. Try the new coffee machine.

The kitchen comes fully equipped including a pantry with enough supplies to get you through breakfast and a bit more.
There is a small "use and replace" wine cellar in the kitchen. You are welcome to the wine on the proviso that you replace the wine you drink with that of an equivalent quality.
There is a coffee making machine (coffee beans are supplied), a slow cooker, a rice cooker and enough for you to enjoy your meals.
We have a range of Earl Grey teas and coffee beans.
There are good quality sheets and pillow cases supplied. The fully equipped kitchen comes with a dishwasher, microwave oven and a fridge. There is also a small bbq. Water comes from a rainwater tank so there are no nasty chemicals
Tapitallee is located southwest of Berry and just over the hill southeast of Kangaroo Valley. It is a beautiful area with many attractions such a wineries, ceramics, orchids, bonsai, slab timbers, Bundanon and Riversdale.
Our main attraction is people come to the Stables to relax. In many cases they they just sit in the sun, read, sleep, go for walks, look for the bird life although there a many close by attractions. 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.

Time away
My visit to Tapitallee Lodges was wonderful. Fresh home made bread was a delight and the cheese and biccies were a lovely welcome. It was exactly how it was described. Quiet, undisturbed and plenty of local wildlife to see on the evening strolls. But still close enough to do shops if you felt the urge to spend some money. Would highly recommend the Tapitallee Lodges for a nice quiet getaway.

Relaxing stay in countryside
Well appointed house/lodge, everything you need for self catering, in gently rolling countryside with plenty of wildlife roaming on this former dairy farm. Trev and his wife very hospitable. You will need a car to get there, as no bus service. Really enjoyed our weeks stay.

The perfect South Coast Escape
An absolutely amazing place to get away to! The property is secluded enough to feel like you have completely left the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Extremely clean, tidy and the owners were generous enough to leave freshly baked bread and some goodies. Would definitely recommend this getaway spot to anyone looking to visit the south coast!

A great place to stay
How awesome to walk into the accommodation and get a whiff of freshly baked bread and all the goodies they leave you to get you going. Then there is the fresh air, beautiful country scenery, animal life and about a 30 minute drive into other townships. The wood fire is awesome and the accommodation is very comfortable. Trevor made sure I was ok and had everything I needed. Missy ( my dog) and I immensely enjoyed our week away!

Beautiful quiet spot. The wine, cheese and fresh bread, eggs and bacon was a wonderful touch. Trev is a lovely, lovely host. At dusk we went for a walk a saw wombats which was a highlight. A beautiful area. Highly recommend the Devonshire tea at Canbewarra lookout too. We also saw lyrebirds and king parrots up there.

Great place to relax, but close to plenty of activities
The house was very comfortable, plenty of pantry supplies and lovely welcoming loaf of fresh baked bread. It was great having the local wombats come out daily to greet us. It is lovely and quiet and you aren’t looking at anything but the bush. You aren’t far from exploring the sites of the shoal haven which keeps you entertained. Lovely wineries, villages and markets

We just spent 2 weeks at The Stables and agree with the previous positive reviews. Trev is an excellent host and the cottage was well provided and equipped. The region is gorgeous, lush and green and the cottage is peaceful, with wildlife sounds. We saw a few times a Wombat grazing around the house at dusk :).

Relaxing stay beautiful grounds friendly hosts.
Upon arriving Trev was there to greet us and made us feel very welcome and even asked if we would like a spare mattress so our kid’s didn’t have to sleep in the same bed. Everything was set up and ready for our stay including fresh baked bread also enough food for breakfast including bacon and eggs which is great if you have been travelling all day and couldn’t be bothered going anywhere. Trev recommended some restaurants close by as well as directions to get around the area easily truely a gentleman. We found ourselves spending most of our time there outside sitting and listening to the wildlife especially at night waiting to spot the wombats. Way better than any hotel if you love nature and peace and quiet this place won’t disappoint you clean and comfortable what more could you ask for? We will definitely have to stay again loved it.

The property owner is an excellent host in every way but unfortunately with the bush fires and smoke we had to be evacuated a few days early. Thankfully Trevor was very vigilant about the fires and had our best interest when he told us we needed to leave. We are very grateful for the way he looked after us and wish him all the best.

Great location, great property with everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. My wife and I enjoyed the peaceful surroundings (so quiet), the wildlife (3 resident wombat sightings on first night) and the proximity to the Boyd estate just down the road. Likely we will be back again.
