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.
