You'll find Ocean Farm, situated on one of the last working farms skimming the pristine coastline of Gerringong—a secluded hideaway nestled amongst the rolling hills of the South Coast. Ocean Farm consists of 180 acres of grazing and dairy farming land. The land spans 1km from Werri Beach North to the area in front of the main house and then back to the highway. The farm has been run and managed by Drew Burrell since 2005.
Ocean Farm is the ultimate destination to experience luxury amidst the untouched landscape, boasting absolute privacy, panoramic ocean views, and breathtaking scenery.
Whether you are seeking a family getaway, a romantic weekend, or a relaxing break with friends, Ocean Farm has just what you are looking for. It features large, comfortable bedrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, an open log fireplace, an infinity pool, an entertainment room, and an all-encompassing deck with sweeping coastal views. Guests can walk the grass track for a long lunch or quick dip at Gerringong's Werri Beach, swim and laze on the deck, sip wine before the fire, breathe the clean country air, or unwind in bed.
The property is set in its pocket of rainforest, hidden from neighbouring homes. We suggest bringing weekend provisions, as you may not want to leave once you enter the door! Although furnished with all essential comforts, Gerringong town centre is a short 5-minute drive should you crave a barista-style coffee or the weekend paper. Ocean Farm doubles as a family weekender for the property owners. They keep the house well stocked and maintained adequately for guests as they would with their own home. For this reason, we ask that our guests respectfully understand this unique situation whilst also feeling comfortable and at home during their stay.

THE AREA
Gerringong: A stunning rural coastal town drawing tourists in to explore the rich culture of art and cafes, Gerringong is a must-see if you stay with us at Ocean Farm. While it is perfectly understood that you may plan to relax at the house and never leave, Gerringong has much to offer should you want to venture out. Stop by the Fern Street Gallery to see work by local artists or join one of the many ever-changing workshops at Willowvale Road. If art and craft is not your style, many historical sites exist to explore. Lastly, Gerringong is known for being a beach town with the incredible Werri Beach, so be sure to pack your swimsuit.
Berry: A 15-minute drive from Ocean Farm. If you like your town's cute and quaint, with great bakeries selling delicious treats and small shops selling unique and quirky items, then Berry is the place for you! As part of the Shoalhaven Coast wine region, you’ll be impressed by Berry’s food and wine. We feel Berry is the perfect country getaway, and the area offers plenty to see and do. Berry is rich in cultural history, so check out the local art galleries and historical museums. Berry is also a wonderful town to picnic in the park with the family.
Gerroa: A 7 to 10-minute drive South of Ocean Farm. It's a tiny little town with a long beach. It is excellent for younger kids to play in the sand or walk along the hard-packed sand for miles. Fishing, surfing, windsurfing, and kiteboarding are among the top things to do in Gerroa. Walk along the Gerroa Headland and see dolphins or spot whales migrating along the coast between May and November. The Seven Mile Beach National Park is worth visiting, and you can find the perfect picnic spot. Explore the rock pools at low tide at Black Head or visit the Sir Charles Kingsford Smith Memorial and Lookout for the best coast view. We suggest using your mode of transport around the area. The Gerringong town centre is a 5-minute drive should you crave a barista-style coffee or the weekend paper.
CATTLE
The cattle are all friendly and not dangerous. Do not worry if they come running up to you; they are just curious. They will not hurt you. However, if you feel nervous, a loud “SHOO” and a wave of your arms should send them running.

GUEST REVIEWS
We had an incredible time: such a good location and beautiful property. Drew was helpful with recommendations before our trip, and Guy was helpful while onsite. Even though it rained our entire time there, it was such a beautiful ambience, and we still managed to enjoy the pool at night. We hope to come back again! AMANDA ★★★★★
I have stayed at Ocean Farm more than once and love everything from the location to the space particularly that infinity pool in the summer! Responsive host and great touches all around the property to enhance the stay. Great for the kids, too, with the upstairs games/loft bedroom. MIKE ★★★★★
Picturesque, Beautiful and a hidden oasis. We did not want to leave this place. Thanks, Drew, for allowing us to stay in your amazing home. We booked in-house massages, which were just icing on the cake. I Will definitely be back! KRISH ★★★★★
This place is amazing!! The view alone is spectacular. Drew was very easy to communicate with, and the manager was always at the end of the phone to assist. I could not have asked for anything more. It was the perfect place to escape from the world in your own little piece of paradise. I can’t wait to get back down for another break. TARA ★★★★★
Drew’s place was amazing! The property is secluded from the town, which is only a stone's throw away but very private. The views are breathtaking, from the stars throughout the night to sunrise. I’ve never seen anything like it. Stunning!!
If you want to reconnect to the world with such a laid-back vibe relaxing nature, and a private place with views that will last a lifetime, please go here. It’s truly a slice of heaven. Drew and his team were amazing hosts, they were very helpful and great to deal with.
JOHN ★★★★★
Ocean Farm is arguably one of the most picturesque settings you will ever come across. Set amongst rolling lush green hills with the ocean as a backdrop, the views are mesmerising. As soon as you enter the driveway, you will quickly realise that you made the right decision coming to Ocean Farm. Whether it’s reading, swimming, playing Trivial Pursuit or simply going on the coastal walk, Ocean Farm provides you with a plethora of options for you to seriously recharge your batteries. Watching the cows and horses simply meander amongst the lush green hills will also place you in a wonderfully happy disposition. I cannot speak highly enough about Ocean Farm. CHRIS ★★★★★
