Kangaroo Ridge Retreat

Kangaroo Ridge Retreat is simply amazing. Words cannot do it justice, it must be experienced.I had very high expectations after looking at photos for weeks and reading many reviews but our stay exceeded those expectations and more.We are not people to spend much time where we stay as we love to explore and visit restaurants and wineries but we found ourselves wanting to spend as much time as possible on our balcony or inside the cabin.It is also great for all seasons as when the temperature dropped at night, we simply moved from the picturesque views to the indoor fireplace which provided just as much relaxation.We were so absorbed by the views and the relaxed cabin that we did not even think about turning the TV on. In fact, we actually unplugged it so we could charge the speakers to continue to listen to the playlists that Kangaroo Ridge Retreat had provided.The additional extras such as the breakfast hamper, pasta night and BBQ pack are so amazing. They were all delicious and mean that you can do things at your own pace.The larder is also incredible. It made us feel like we had Yarra Valley at our finger tips. The quality of the product was excellent and all at really affordable prices.Equally as great as the venue itself is the service and communication from Rebecca who made our stay so perfect. She was so great to deal with and went above and beyond to make our stay, the best weekend we have had.There is no greater compliment than wishing we were still there!We will definitely be back and can't wait to relive the Kangaroo Ridge Retreat experience.

My wife and I spent two nights here and it was the highlight of our 2 weeks in Australia along with Craig’s wine tour. Rebecca has great communication from booking to check out. The cabin is very cozy and she has thought of everything. It’s the little details and small touches that put this over the top along with the view. Food and drinks were great!

We booked a 2 night stay to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary and it exceeded our expectations.First, the communication before, during & after the booking is excellent. We loved the beautiful touches in the rooms and appreciated the open fire and split system on the chilly nights. The food was plentiful and delicious, and the wine choice was vast.The view is sublime! Whether sitting on the deck or in the spa, or just looking out the window, the beauty and magnificence of the Yarra Valley is on full display. We saw so many birds, king parrots came up on the deck and deers walked through the bush past our windows.We never wanted to leave and will definitely be back. The serenity, the service, the food and the view - together they provided the perfect way to celebrate 30 years of marriage.

What a sensational weekend! Kangaroo Ridge Retreat is a very special place. We felt so relaxed ~ looking out into the beautiful valley from the balcony, bath or bed. Plenty of wood to keep you toasty of an evening & a cute array of records to listen to. And wow, the wine selection, gorgeous to see Rebecca & co supporting local businesses! Thank you thank you thank you!

I am the type of person who researches everything - a lot - and this place exceeded my expectations. From the website, the detailed info received after booking and before check-in, to the numerous teas and wines in the larder - the attention to detail that Rebecca puts in is amazing. The fresh produce, the BBQ pack and OMG, the view. This is my new favorite place and I cant stop talking about it. Best romantic weekend.

Wow. The place. The views. The service!Went here for a mini moon just After our wedding and had the best time! Rebecca is a super passionate small business owner that promotes local ingredients via the pantry system and other businesses.Our experience was one of a kind and magical.The masseuses were top notch, our private chef was amazing and the wine pairings were perfectly thought out!I haven't been able to shut up about our awesome experience and I am and would recommend kangaroo ridge retreat to anyone and everyone!

Firstly, I want to say a great thank you to Rebecca and team for such a wonderful experience I had at Kangaroo Ridge Retreat! Sorry it took awhile for me to write this review. Rebecca had been such a great host, super responsive and gave great pointers for us even before our actual stay at the retreat.My partner and I wanted something different and away from the city. And we both agreed that the stay we had here was PERFECT! Waking up to such lovely view in the morning, being in the nature. Not to forget, the sky full of stars at night.I’m so so glad that my partner found this place for our holiday and this definitely will not be our last time back to Kangaroo Ridge. We can’t wait to be back again! Thank you once again for the amazing stay!

I couldn't recommend Kangaroo Ridge more highly. The communication on arrival (and before, and after!) was excellent, and meant that we had a really good idea what to expect from our stay. My partner and I loved the views, the serenity and the wildlife. It's perfect for a romantic getaway as the fridge & wine cellar is well stocked (and at very respectable prices), which means that you can tour Healesville & surrounds without ever leaving your room. The cabin was perfectly clean, tidy, and well provisioned (including bathroom products etc.), and with so many thoughtful extras and finishing touches - it's clear lots of work has gone into making the experience truly special. Thanks team for the brilliant mini-break!

Rebecca and the team at Kangaroo Ridge have an incredible thing going here. My partner and I received a voucher to stay as a gift and were not disappointed. From the beginning to end we had a seamless and relaxing stay - they really have thought of everything. Gorgeous, secluded location with stunning views, all the amenities you could need and the larder was wonderful! We hadn't intended to purchase much but couldn't resist the wine and local food items that were on offer. Rebecca responded to my questions promptly and we felt very well taken care of.
