The perfect spot

We all had a really amazing time, spent hours by the fire taking in all the surroundings. The property was perfect so much space and so warm with the indoor fire and had everything we needed so we didn’t have to go anywhere.. the kids said it was the best holiday house they have stayed in ♥️♥️

Secluded retreat in Kangaroo Valley

What a lovely home and a beautiful spot on the Upper Kangaroo River! We had a lovely time at this riverside home, and especially enjoyed the nightly wombat visits in the yard! Yarrawa winery is walking distance and a fun afternoon of wine-tasting. Just take note, boots a good idea in the grass to avoid leeches….

Glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay! The security bond is processed as a credit card pre-authorisation which is held by your bank. Most banks release it after 5 business days but depending on who you bank with it can take a little longer. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

What a wonderful setting in the rainforest next to the river. We loved our stay, just wish it was longer. The house is modern, comfortable and spacious. There was plenty of room for all of us. A place to really unwind.
