About this property

Ridgetop Retreats - Deep Creek National Park close to the Kangaroo Island ferry

Southern Ocean Retreats offers you a choice of self-contained accommodation at different locations in Deep Creek National Park, one of the most scenic and unspoiled places to visit on the Fleurieu Peninsula just 90 minutes south of Adelaide.

Our properties range from a simple cottage such as Glenburn for families on a budget, the iconic Goondooloo Cottage with its 'tree trunk' lounge room, or the spacious Deep Creek Homestead in its own secluded valley, to the award winning contemporary Ridgetop Retreats.

Popular activities include one of the many walks graded from easy through to hard (including the famous Heysen Trail), sightseeing, photography, surfing, swimming, fishing, mountain bike riding, seeing the abundant wildlife at close range and above all, relaxing.

Tranquility in the bush
Secluded within the National Park, this is a lovely peaceful place surrounded by trees and wildlife - especially birds. You can't actually see the sea from there, but the park is great with wonderful walks and a feeling of being alone with nature.

Peaceful solitude
We were surprised by the remote location, but enjoyed the beautiful home! The accommodations (including the stocked pantry) were great! We saw a family of kangaroo and enjoyed our hikes. There were a ton of flies that we were not quite prepared for, but kept us company :). We used the house as a base for kangaroo island so had a full SA experience!

Host profile image
We are a small family owned business who decided to make a sea change, leave the city life and careers in Adelaide back in late 1993. We started our business in January in 1994. and have 6 self contained holiday accommodation inside Deep Creek National Park. In 2024 we will be celebrating 30 years in nature stay accommodation the Fleurieu Peninsula..
This is our sole source of income so we take what we do seriously and aim to provide a memorable experience for our guests.
Although we have been in business for nearly 3 decades we are relatively new to adding our accommodation to Stayz and other booking platforms as we have our own website. In the past we have been fortunate to have a high repeat customer base where our guests would book direct but we have found that the booking landscape has changed and more and more accommodation providers are using these platforms to attract guests to their accommodation properties. Therefore the addition of some of our accommodation to this platform.
We have always enjoyed connecting with our guests in some way either via phone or face to face and are proud to showcase our region and Deep Creek National Park.
We hope when you stay with us you will leave with fond memories of the beautiful Fleurieu Peninsula.
