Our vision is to create a welcoming, thriving and lively collection of venues in the heart of Berrima. We want to attract and bring people from near and afar (locals and visitors alike) together with immersive experiences while being respectful and supportive of the history and heritage significance of the site.

To achieve this we are working on a proposal to develop a boutique style hotel with venues which are designed and built to respect the history and heritage significance of the site. A fundamental principle for the project is to create a shared experience inside the gaol and an arrangement of uses that maximises appreciation of the site and its history.

Our proposal will include boutique hotel accommodation, a restaurant and bar, event and wedding venue spaces, as well as a wellness centre, and other uses for day trippers and overnight visitors alike. We are yet to determine suitable supportive uses for the former Governor’s and Deputy Governor’s residences and invite feedback from the community on possible uses for these two buildings.

While the core of our vision is to acknowledge, conserve and share the past we want to transform the site into a place of enjoyment, relaxation and education that everyone is welcome to come and experience.
