Accounting is a demanding profession. Between client deadlines, compliance requirements, reporting periods and the pressure of the end of the financial year, accounting teams often spend months working at an intense pace.

A company retreat gives your team an opportunity to step away from the office, recharge and reconnect in a more relaxed environment. It can also help strengthen working relationships, recognise employees’ efforts and create space to plan for the year ahead.

Located in the NSW Southern Highlands, Berrima Retreat provides private group accommodation and extensive facilities for accounting firms planning a memorable company retreat.

Bring Your Whole Team Together

One of the greatest benefits of a company retreat is having the entire team together outside the usual workplace.

In the office, conversations are often focused on immediate tasks and deadlines. A different environment encourages colleagues to get to know one another, communicate more openly and build stronger connections.

These relationships can be particularly valuable for accounting firms, where cooperation, accuracy and clear communication are essential.

Berrima Retreat accommodates groups of 22–55 guests, allowing your team to stay together in one location rather than being divided between separate hotel rooms or venues.

Enjoy Complete Privacy

Berrima Retreat is exclusively reserved for one group at a time. Your accounting firm will have private use of the accommodation, facilities and retreat grounds throughout your stay.

This means your team can hold meetings, enjoy shared meals and participate in activities without sharing the property with another group.

Exclusive use also gives your firm the flexibility to create a company retreat that suits your team’s personality and objectives.

Combine Planning With Relaxation

A company retreat does not need to be completely structured or entirely social. The most rewarding retreats often include a balance of both.

Your accounting firm might include:

• Team planning and strategy sessions
• Discussions about goals for the new financial year
• Professional development activities
• Employee recognition and awards
• Informal team-building activities
• Shared meals and social time
• Time for employees to relax independently

Berrima Retreat has spacious indoor and outdoor areas where teams can meet, collaborate and socialise. Your itinerary can be as organised or as flexible as you prefer.

Reward Your Team After a Busy Period

The end of the financial year can involve long hours, increased workloads and considerable pressure. Organising a company retreat is a meaningful way to recognise the commitment your team has shown during this demanding period.

It provides more than a simple staff function. Staying together gives employees time to properly unwind, enjoy one another’s company and return to work feeling refreshed.

A well-planned company retreat can also demonstrate that your firm values its people and appreciates the work they contribute throughout the year.

Activities for Every Member of the TeamActivities for Every Member of the Team

Not every employee enjoys the same style of team-building activity. Berrima Retreat offers a wide range of options so people can participate in the way that feels most comfortable to them.

Your team can enjoy:

• A swimming pool and outdoor entertaining areas
• Kayaking on the dam
• A cinema room
• A games room with pool and table tennis
• Volleyball and basketball
• Bikes and outdoor games
• A giant jumping pillow
• A fire pit and BBQ facilities
• Spacious lawns and gardens
• Farm animals, including sheep and alpacas
• Comfortable areas for shared meals and conversations

Your group can organise friendly competitions and team activities or simply allow employees to enjoy the facilities at their own pace.

Share Meals Without Leaving the Property

Shared meals are often one of the most memorable parts of a company retreat. They create an informal setting where employees can relax, talk and connect away from their normal roles.

Berrima Retreat includes dining and entertaining spaces where your entire group can come together. Your firm can arrange catering, prepare meals as a team or enjoy a relaxed BBQ or pizza night.

Having accommodation, activities and dining areas in one location also makes the retreat easier to coordinate.

Explore the Southern Highlands

Berrima Retreat is located close to the historic village of Berrima and the many attractions of the Southern Highlands.

Your company retreat could include visits to nearby wineries, local restaurants, cafés, shops and surrounding country towns. Alternatively, your team can remain at the property and enjoy everything available onsite.

Approximately 90 minutes from Sydney and Canberra, Berrima Retreat feels like a genuine country escape without requiring complicated or lengthy travel arrangements.

Create a Company Retreat That Suits Your Firm

Every accounting firm is different. Some teams may want a structured planning retreat, while others may prefer a relaxed getaway focused on celebrating and spending time together.

Berrima Retreat gives your firm the privacy, accommodation, facilities and flexibility to create the experience that is right for your team.

Selected August and September 2026 stays may also qualify for special accommodation pricing and a complimentary gourmet pizza dinner for the group.
