Fantastic peaceful getaway
Property just outside of town so you can grab anything you need quickly. Beautiful setting, woke to the sounds of all the local bird life and the beautiful foggy valley while watching the sunrise coming up from the mountains. So many animals from the cows grazing to the little magpie that would come for a snack to the green tree frog that would come and croak at night plus rock wallabies that would be hopping past. The surrounding Barrington tops National Park was spectacular views and bush walks. Thanks to all the lovely locals that welcomed us into their beautiful town and a very special thanks to Dan for sharing this little piece of countryside with us.

The Ridge is a lovely little spot for a getaway. Far enough away from everything but also close enough to everything. Just lovely for 2.

Beautiful property,wonderful views
We had a wonderful stay. Amazing views, the bath was a hit, and the weather cooled down overnight in the middle of summer. The cabin is able to be kept quite cool in the middle of the day too. We spent a few days there without needing to go out. The birds nearby were wonderful. Very happy it's pet friendly, as our two small dogs had a great time too. The local coucal blessed us with its interesting call and we briefly spotted it once! Besides a local crow giving us a 5am wake up call, overall it was a wonderful stay. We will be back again.

The cabin is well appointed and has a neat layout which made our stay very comfortable. It has a beautiful view of the town from the hilltop and was so quiet. Really enjoyed our stay.

Absolute peace and serenity. Driveway is a bit tricky but adds to the remoteness while still being close to town. Well designed with lots of thoughtful touches.
