Very relaxing two night stay in one of the two eco villa's. Perfect for a couples getaway. Very comfortable bed and the villa was spotless. Loved the wallabies and very friendly kookaburras. A great location if wanting to explore parts of the scenic rim.

My partner and I only stayed for a few days, though it felt like we were there for longer as it was such a treat. Dan was great, he showed us around the property and gave us a nice welcome, the cabin was clean and had amazing views. There was fresh bread and continental cereal for breakfast. As you drive into the property you will be meet by a beautiful long winding road that will take you up the hill to see the wallabies and vine yard before the reception. We would highly recommend the stay at wallaby ridge!!

OMG this was the most relaxing weekend away, it was hidden on a ridge full of wallabies hopping around in the serenity of the bush land. The eco villa was so comfortable and had all the amenities needed for a weekend away, the layout of the villa uses the space so well you feel it is huge inside. The lovely gentleman that shows you around is absolutely delightful. Trust me the spa was the perfect temperature of warm bubbling water especially for a night treat after a long day exploring the Mountain.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wallaby Ridge Retreat. It was the most peaceful idyllic location, not too far from everything. The rooms and grounds were so beautiful, very well furnished. The sumptuous breakfast was a wonderful start to the day. Robyn and John were so helpful, we can't wait for another excuse to get away from it all to Wallaby Ridge Retreat :-)

We loved going into this area at night as the fire was always on and surrounds so comfortable. The hosts were delightful. Nothing was too much trouble. We can’t wait to get back for another holiday.

My Husband and I stayed 4nights. Host Robyn is very friendly, helpful and welcoming. She makes us feel so at home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and love the quiet, peaceful surrounding with amazing views, fresh air, nature(beautiful birds, cute wallabies, other wildlife). Indeed a great place for retreat away from the hustle and bustle life. The room is big and clean with separate living room. It has cooking facilities with all the necessities. Breakfast is generous with freshly baked bread. You will find fresh eggs, bacons, and sausages & etc in the fridge. Nice cereals esp the toasted. This place is convenient. It is a short drive to Cannugra town for meals and groceries. It is also convenient to drive to other places of attractions around Tambourine mountain and other Places of interest. We will return to stay longer in our next visit. Hopefully no ants in our pants as we want to stay put to soak and enjoy the beautiful ambience in this special retreat.

The retreat is accessed via a steep sealed driveway, the end of which reveals a secluded brick rectangular building snuggled into the hilltop.There are three rooms for guests, each looking across the valley and adjacent mountain range. Ours was huge, like an apartment, which is entered through a wide hallway which also leads on to a club lounge with the adjacent barbecue /outdoor eating area also under-roof. A verandah which runs the whole length of the building is accessed via a sliding security door from each guest room.We found the whole experience to be reminiscent of an upmarket private hotel, which makes the immaculately maintained Wallaby Ridge Retreat superb value for money and definite candidate for a return visit.

Great Stay...
Our second stay at Wallaby Ridge and again it was awesome - the wallabies were outside our cottage most mornings and evenings. The cottage was extremely well appointed with everything we needed and comfortable. Also we were able to receive wi-fi which we had not been able at our previous accommodation on the mountain.
