Jaspers Run

Jaspers Run is a 100-acre farmstay estate at Jaspers Brush, about five minutes from Berry on the NSW South Coast, and every booking takes the whole property: the main house sleeping 12 plus a separate eco-cottage, 16 guests in total. On the amenities list are a 10 metre swimming pool, a full kitchen, a fireplace, a games shed, a children's playground and a wide terrace built for long BBQ afternoons. Guest reviews run to 5.0 across six stays, with praise for the plush bedding, spacious interior design and the rural setting.

Dogs at the Jaspers Run

Dogs are welcome on request and with prior approval from the property, and only mature dogs aged two years or older are accepted, a rule tied to the interior flooring and layout rather than a simple weight limit. No breed or weight restrictions are published, and pet fees are not stated, so confirm approval and any charge with the property when you enquire.

The critical rule for dog owners: fencing across the 100 acres is inadequate, and horses and cattle may be present on the open land. The property is explicit that owners must supervise closely and accepts no responsibility for pet injury or misadventure. This is a stay for dogs with reliable recall and calm nerves, kept in sight around stock, not a place to let a dog roam. The upside is scale: few group stays on the coast offer this much open space, and the mature-dog policy suits multi-dog households travelling together.

The vibe

Max: A hundred acres of quiet with the whole farm to our group, our old girl spent the weekend patrolling the deck and watching the horses from a respectful distance.

The setting is genuinely rural, off the tourist drag in farming country, and the property enforces a strict no loud music and no parties policy out of respect for the neighbours. That makes it a fit for big family gatherings that want the pool, the fire and the paddocks rather than a celebration venue. Puppies under two will need to sit this one out.

Getting there and parking

Jaspers Brush sits on the Princes Highway between Berry and Kangaroo Valley, about two hours south of Sydney. Berry's cafes and shops are five minutes away, and Seven Mile Beach is a short drive east. Parking is on-site with room for several cars, as you would expect at a 16-guest property.

Close by with the dogs

In Berry, IV Coffee does morning coffee for the drive out. If you want a second rural option with pets in the area, Bundara Farm is another Berry acreage stay, and for a budget base in town the Berry Showground Camping Area takes dogs at its camping sites.
