Such a nice relaxing place to taste some delicious beers. It's not too far from Mittagong town, or Bowral for that matter, with plenty of parking available, but you can walk it from the train station. The staff are so friendly and helpful on arrival, and they suggest ordering a paddle of taster beers to get a feel for their range. They do have around 10 or so beers on offer in schooner and middy sized glasses as well, and even a few takeaway beers if needed. They will also sell refillable containers if you want to take some home straight from the beer tap. There's a lovely range of beers here for all tastes, from light fruity beers to darker beers to a pilsner to a hoppy IPA, there's something for everyone. They also offer some homemade pies from the Gumnut Patisserie across the road, although you can just as easily walk over and buy any pies or pastries of your choice and bring them inside to eat.

This treasure is an absolute must visit if you’re coming through Berrima!

I use the Southern Highlands to break up the drive between Sydney to Canberra. What a pleasant surprise it was when I stumbled across this gem of a shop. The moment you walk through the doors you see the exquisite displays and you're greeted by their warm and welcoming staff. With such a wide range pieces available there is literally something for everyone. My comment won't do this shop justice, you must see for yourself. It's easy to see why it's so popular with the locals, Bowerbird on Argyle is arguably the best shop in the Southern Highlands.

Sculptress at Berida Day Spa is a secluded sanctuary enjoyed by Berida Hotel guests and Southern Highlands locals for luxe pampering and regular beauty needs. Tiptoe through the lush gardens to discover a haven of traditional therapies and cutting-edge aesthetic treatments.

Beautifully styled salon with contemporary and luxurious treatments. The therapists are friendly and knowledgable, and not pushy selling product at the end of your treatment which is a big plus for me. Overall it's a really calming, relaxing, nourishing pampering experience and would highly recommend it. Well priced, too!

I purchased the Italian long lunch cooking class for my partner for his birthday and we both had an absolute blast! Stefano and Yianni welcomed us into their home as if we were family. Stefano was an incredible instructor and food that I could have never imagined creating previously, came together with an ease whilst having a great time in the process. We were even sent the recipes so we could recreate them at home again for our friends and family. We would both definitely recommend this class to anyone looking for a fun day with delicious food or anyone looking to learn how to make some great Italian dishes. We look forward to visiting again soon to learn some more!
