Awful.Don't stay.
Posted by Geoff at Sunday 10 February 2008
Do NOT stay there.We where made to feel that we are lyers as we where miss informed breakfast times 7am to 10am when in fact 7am to 9 am and turned up late.No information of any sort in room to advise about property facilities and services available. We where told by a staff menber that we where called to advise breakfast ending when infact we did not receive a call at all.Was told information in room when in fact none at all.Staff member told us the person that did the room would have made sure was there and look in draws which we had done and nothing except phone book.Was yelled at by another staff member that breakfast is free anyway.Not free at all paid for bed & breakfrast.Very unprovesional.Also fridge leakes water all over floor had to use towel to mop up, remote for TV does not work and held together by sticky tape along with other things not working.Staff extremely rude.Over rated.I have renamed it faulty towers 2.
We agree with Geoff....

Absolutely shocking, a complete rip-off. Room small and sparsly furnished, not even paper and pen supplied. Breakfast also very poor. Overall very poor value for money, we will 'never' stay here again!
Don't believe them!

Sorry to disagree with previous reviews, but we have nothing but praise for the staff and amenities at Berida Manor after spending 4nights there over easter.
Breakfast was adequate it was not 5 star but you had a good selection.
Our rooms were very clean and with so much furniture that we could have taken all our clothes etc from home and never fill all the drawers, wardrobes cupboards.
Don't be put off by the previous reviews. Try for yourself it is close to town and a lovely setting opposite the golf course.
DO believe them

Sorry, but chalk up two more completely dissatisfied customers.
The elderly gentleman manning the counter "greeted" my wife and I with a gruff "Yes?" followed by "Name?". No "Good afternoon" or "Hello, how are you?" as might be expected of an establishment charging a "special" rate of $215 for one night. Way to make your guests feel like nuisances at the outset! Thankfully the few other staff we met were more pleasant.
The room was a good size but four of its windows could not be locked due to the latches not aligning, so we couldn't safely leave anything in the room.
The walls of the room did next to nothing to muffle sounds from the adjacent room and we could hear our neighbours' conversations all too clearly.
The shower temperature fluctuated wildly while other guests used their showers. We tried to control it but failed, resorting to quickly rinsing during the few seconds of tepid in between the uncomfortably cold and dangerously hot.
The buffet breakfast was of very poor quality; rubbery scrambled eggs sitting in a puddle of water, tasteless bacon and sausages, and so on. Normally we would be the type to grin and bear it but this was just the last straw. We left our breakfast and instead enjoyed some wonderful food and service from the Elephant Boy cafe on the main street.
And then there were the other little things that just added insult to injury. We had to park at the very back of the hotel and then walk to the front along the single-lane driveway, hugging the wall with our bags while cars passed us. There is no footpath or rear entry for guests, yet the prime parking spot at the front of the hotel is reserved for the Mercedes Benz with "BERIDA" licence plates.
Anyway, it probably goes without saying, but we will not be staying there again.
Another weekend at Berida Manor
Posted by Anonymous User at Saturday 10 May 2008
Berida Manor was the final nail in the coffin of my marriage!My husband(Ex) suggested a weekend away to "try to talk". If only he had researched things better who knows the final outcome may have been different.The room was cold, and what is it with those kitch cherubs everywhere?The food was awful.Berida Manor is trying to be what Peppers resort manages successfully.Stay there if you want a manor style weekend as I did with my next bloke(who took the time to do the research).Ms Rice
Happy Customer

I stayed at this hotel for two nights and had a wonderful time. We were a group of 7 ladies and had no complaints. We made good use of the lovely heated pool and we all had a most relaxing massage. The food was more than adequate and the staff pleasant. When I read the above reviews I was totally shocked. I think the other reviewers must have been staying somewhere else!

If you like Faulty Towers you will love this place.
I had the great misfortune to spend several nights at this DUMP in April 2008.
I can only say that the description given in the various guides is false AND that web sites, such as Dawsons and others should review this place and give an accurate description of it.
The room was horrible, the food was a throw-back to 1960 and the staff were untrained and rude.
The pool was taken over by what looked to be the local swimming school, so it was not part of the "resort".
Look Into The Past of Berida Manor
Posted by Janice Stanbridge at Tuesday 19 August 2008
I was seraching the internet for accomodation in Bowral and was suprised to come across Berida Manor.Furthering my search I was amused to read the many negative reports associated with this particular place and it brought back memories closer to home than many will believe. At a tender age myself and twin sister were put on a train and sent to a Red Cross Home in Bowral, now named Berida Manor.I noticed a comment by one visitor that being there reminded her of being in the 1960's and that bought it closer to home than I care to think.Maybe the past hangs on to some buildings, the sadness and feelings of loss, and no amount of antigue furniture and high prices can change that.It looks like too many visitors have come away from Berida Manor with the same negitive feelings like so many of its past, sad children.
