About this property

Nature stay Ridgetop Retreat

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 and 10 minutes from the Kangaroo Island Ferry.

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.

Fantastic! Great location with plenty of privacy. Lovely watching the kangaroos outside the window when having your breakfast before going one of the scenic hikes through the national park.

So relaxing, so peaceful.

Perfect for a weekend away for a couple, if coming as 2 couples I would recommend hiring another one in the group or it might be a bit tight. The views, open fire and natural surrounds excellent. The walks fantastic. Highly recommended.

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.

Why they chose this property

We chose the Fleurieu Peninsula because just loved the National Park, the landscape and beaches in the area.
We also love the fact that it is only 90 minutes south of Adelaide which makes it an easy and scenic drive to this stunning coastal area.
