Nature stay Ridgetop Retreat

The Ridgetop Retreats continue to set the benchmark in design excellence for nature based holiday accommodation. Designed by renowned architect Max Pritchard they take full advantage of their beautiful location in the Stringybark Forest in Deep Creek Conservation Park and successfully blend sustainability with a high standard of comfort.

They have been used as a template for sustainable tourism accommodation both in South Australia and Victoria and were awarded the prestigious Royal Australian Institute of Architects Award of Merit.

But being environmentally friendly doesn’t mean going without. Parquetry floors, bespoke stainless steel kitchen, leather sofas and cedar venetians provide a rich texture for the senses.

The floor to ceiling windows that are the hallmark of the Ridgetop Retreats create a strong sense of being connected to nature. There is so much glass you will feel like you are out under the stars and in among the trees.

Visiting kangaroos, birds, bandicoots, a lush forest with wildflowers and ever changing weather patterns provide a visual feast for you to enjoy from your panoramic view point.

The Retreats can accommodate up to 4 guests and are provided with all linen and continental breakfast. They are centrally located in Deep Creek Conservation Park and a convenient starting point for the Forest Circuit Walk and Spring Wildflower Walk.

Tranquility in the bush
Secluded within the National Park, this is a lovely peaceful place surrounded by trees and wildlife - especially birds. You can't actually see the sea from there, but the park is great with wonderful walks and a feeling of being alone with nature.

Peaceful solitude
We were surprised by the remote location, but enjoyed the beautiful home! The accommodations (including the stocked pantry) were great! We saw a family of kangaroo and enjoyed our hikes. There were a ton of flies that we were not quite prepared for, but kept us company :). We used the house as a base for kangaroo island so had a full SA experience!

Beautiful, quiet getaway
Property even better than described, very peaceful surrounds with multiple native bird species and kangaroos seen within metres of our retreat over our 4-night stay. No TV, wifi or cellular reception (including Telstra), which was perfect for unwinding on our trip. Very useful information about nearby hikes and businesses provided by the hosts, this is wonderful accomodation and very good value for the price, highly recommended!

relaxing stay in a sensitively and caringly presented retreat
This type of accommodation should become the standard to achieve in terms of its connection with nature, its sustainable design and the thoughtful presentation
