Why Berrima Retreat Is the Perfect Base for Your Next Team Camp

Whether you’re travelling for a tournament, planning a training camp, or simply looking to reward your players with an unforgettable weekend away, the right accommodation can make all the difference.
At Berrima Retreat, we believe the best football memories aren’t only made during the 90 minutes on the pitch—they’re made in the moments between training sessions, over shared meals, around the firepit, and while relaxing together after a big day.
Our private group accommodation in the Southern Highlands gives football clubs the space, comfort and privacy to focus on what matters most—your team.
Stay Together, Play Together
One of the biggest challenges for travelling football teams is keeping everyone together.

Hotels often split players across different floors, while holiday parks separate groups into cabins. Coaches and managers can find themselves in different areas, making meetings and communication more difficult.
At Berrima Retreat, your club has exclusive use of the entire property, so everyone stays in one place.
From the moment you arrive until you head home, the retreat becomes your team’s own private headquarters.
A Great Base for Football Clubs
Our venue is ideal for:
- Tournament accommodation
- Pre-season training camps
- Representative squads
- Development programs
- Club leadership weekends
- End-of-season celebrations
- Referee and coaching courses
Whether you’re travelling from Sydney, Canberra or elsewhere in NSW, Berrima Retreat offers a central location that’s easy to access while still feeling like a genuine escape.
Designed for Groups
Berrima Retreat currently accommodates groups of 22–55 guests, with expansion underway to increase capacity to around 80 guests.
Having your entire squad stay together creates opportunities for:
A more connected club culture
Better communication
Stronger friendships

Space to Relax Between Matches

Our events room comfortably seats up to 65 people, making it the ideal space for:
- Tactical discussions
- Video analysis
- Team briefings
- Coaching sessions
- Leadership presentations
With everyone staying onsite, meetings are simple to organise and fit naturally into your schedule.
Recovery Matters

After a full day of football, players need time to recover.
The peaceful surroundings of the Southern Highlands provide a refreshing change from busy suburban environments, allowing players to unwind both physically and mentally.
Whether it’s relaxing by the pool, sitting around the firepit or simply enjoying the fresh country air, Berrima Retreat offers the perfect environment to reset before the next game.
Flexible Catering for Every Club
Every football club operates differently.
Some prefer to cook together, while others organise catering.
Our commercial kitchen provides the flexibility to prepare meals that suit your team’s schedule, dietary requirements and budget.
Easy Access, Country Atmosphere
Located just 90 minutes from Sydney and Canberra, Berrima Retreat is close enough for convenient travel but far enough away to feel like a true getaway.
The peaceful surroundings help players disconnect from everyday distractions and focus on enjoying time with their teammates.
Why Clubs Keep Choosing Exclusive-Use Accommodation
The biggest advantage isn’t just the facilities—it’s having the entire venue to yourselves.
Exclusive use means your team can:
- Set their own schedule
- Use the shared spaces whenever they like
- Hold meetings without interruptions
- Build stronger relationships
- Enjoy complete privacy throughout the stay
It creates a far more connected experience than traditional accommodation.
