Perfect location for an off grid getaway. There is a very helpful guide at the property to assist you with the local bush walks and nature paths. Kangaroos even blessed us with their presence out the front in the mornings - a dream!

A perfectly clean, convenient, and well designed locations for a stay in the bush. Great for those that love the outdoors but want the comfort of a house. Huge windows and a very thoughtful design welcome the views of nature, while the provisons, fireplace, and comfortable bed made it a very pleasant stay.

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!

Beautiful, quiet getaway

Property even better than described, very peaceful surrounds with multiple native bird species and kangaroos seen within metres of our retreat over our 4-night stay. No TV, wifi or cellular reception (including Telstra), which was perfect for unwinding on our trip. Very useful information about nearby hikes and businesses provided by the hosts, this is wonderful accomodation and very good value for the price, highly recommended!

Thank you for your review Joseph. Great to hear you enjoyed these special surroundings and the retreat so much. More and more of our guests are recognizing the value of taking a break from the daily digital onslaught. A few days away from it won't stop the world from turning and helps us re-affirm all the things that are truly important such as the natural environment. We hope to hear from you again in the future.

Beautiful retreat set in a beautiful place

As a surprise birthday present for my partner this turned out to be a fantastic four nights. Entering Deep Creek you are emerged into tall stringy bark forest with ferns and grass trees lining the floor. Down the dirt track a first glimpse of the architecturally designed retreat is a delight. Upon entering you first see the perfectly framed stone fireplace and are surrounded by windows revealing the bushland beyond. The building itself is beautiful and the views through the large windows immerse you into the forest. With a beautiful bathroom, comfortable beds and open plan living all so well considered it is very comfortable. The nearby walks are beautiful and worth visiting for these alone. We can highly recommend the Ridge Top Retreats and would never leave if given the choice.

As we arrived there was a flock of scrub wrens and thornbills dancing around immediately outside our bedroom window. They were there for at least 10 minutes, much to our delight. I know this wasn't arranged, but it set our weekend off to a great start. Later there were kangaroos on the porch and other birds. and the free park pass was certainly appreciated. It was cold and the fire each evening was extra nice. We could come again!

Had a great little break from the kids for our 4th wedding anniversary. Very relaxing, wood fire and lack of TV was great. Kangaroos come right up to the front door. Very modern and convenient. Pricey but worth the dosh.
