About Berkelouw Book Barn

The Book Barn is the iconic home of our Berkelouw Book Business and is located on beautiful Bendooley Estate.

The Book Barn is a book-lovers dream, housing thousands of new, second-hand, rare and antiquarian books.  At the heart of the Book Barn is an enormous stone fireplace, inviting you to sit, relax and enjoy.

Our Rare Book Department is also sited on Bendooley Estate, in another barn just a little further down the lane.

The Book Barn is a multi-functional space. It operates as a bookshop by day, as well as housing the Bendooley Estate Restaurant. For weddings and special events, the scores of bookshelves are integrated into the end of the barn and it transforms into a magical space.

Bendooley Estate Cellar Door overlooks the Estate’s vineyard. Our Cellar Door is a captivating space for wine tastings, dining and private events. By day the space is filled with guests sampling wines and enjoying the view, by night our dinner menu takes guests on a culinary adventure as they enjoy a carefully curated menu, designed to be shared with friends.
