OUR SELF-CONTAINED GUEST WING (villa) accommodation is adjacent but separate to the main house and slightly more upmarket to our cottage accommodation. The villa is double brick having reverse cycle air-conditioning, ceiling fans and fully carpeted with each bedroom having its own en-suite bathroom and WC with a delightful verandah surrounded by fully reticulated gardens, scented climbers, roses, ponds and garden walks. The rooms are equipped with oil heaters, TV, DVD, CD, dining and reading nook, books, games, ceiling fans, electric blanket, tea and coffee. The villa has separate entry to main house.

Enjoy complimentary chocolates and an aperitif on arrival in your delightfully appointed villa accommodation.

We encourage well behaved guests who love and respect the natural environment to enjoy the pleasures of nature. Those who don't and want to rage, we would encourage to go elsewhere please.

Winter is a perfect time for book reading, warm fires, woollies, scarves, slippers and snuggles. Summer is a perfect time for long walks, bicycling and bird watching however, there may be times when you must bring your Aeroguard, hat and boots.

Although not the least expensive accommodation in the area, the tariff reflects the quality of our accommodation and is commensurate to the peace, quiet and privacy provided. Redgum Hill Country Retreat is the perfect place for chilling out!!
