Berkelouw Book Barn, located just outside Berrima in the NSW Southern Highlands, is the iconic home of the Berkelouw Book Business. Built early last century, the Book Barn has recently been renovated to highlight its exposed timber beams, cathedral ceilings and rustic iron pendant lights. The Book Barn houses a large collection of new, secondhand, rare and antiquarian books for sale and features an enormous stone fireplace for visitors to sit and relax by.
The attached Bendooley Bar & Grill, now under new management, offers an enticing menu of casual meals, ideal for the bucolic, rural surrounds. The thin crust pizza was utterly scrumptious while the pastas, roast chicken, steaks with fries and salad and other dishes were well cooked. The rural setting of this restaurant adds considerably to the enjoyment of the meal and is perfect for a day trip from Sydney or stop-over on the way to Canberra.
