Kangaroo Ridge Retreat

We booked with Kangaroo Ridge Retreat to have a relaxed, no fuss, weekend. Any expectations that we had were blown away! This was an absolutely fantastic experience and one that we did not want to end.
Everything had been thought of and catered for, from the excellent communication prior to our arrival to the notes throughout the cabin making navigating the products that much easier.
The range of food and wines within the cabin were amazing, all with a tasting note and explanation so you knew what you were getting into.
Loved the range of locally sourced items, allowing us to experience more of what the Yarra Valley had to offer.
The view - both during the day and star gazing at night - breath-taking. Sitting in the spa or relaxing on the balcony, there was always a vista to admire.
If you are looking for the most relaxing and indulgent weekend away from the hustle and bustle of the world then book this place, its incredible.

My partner and I stayed here to celebrate his birthday. He wanted a relaxing weekend away & that is exactly what he got! The views are amazing, the bbq pack and wine was delicious, the bed comfortable, the wood fire heater made it so cozy. We can't wait till we return.

We booked this trip over a year ago so there was a lot of anticipation. We were celebrating my husband's 30th birthday and could not have chosen a better stay. Everything was impeccable. There was plenty of supply for our breakfast and the Larder was full of all sorts of goodness from the Yarra Valley region. Not to mention the infinite amount of wines to choose from.
The views are breathtaking and the cabin is so cozy that you barely wanna leave.
Lots of wildlife around the cabin as well.
Rebecca was an incredible host even before our arrival as we chatted on the phone and on text as well.
We had a minor issue with our A/C and Rebecca was super on top and got someone to sort it out in less than 24h.
I would recommend Kangaroo Ridge Retreat to all my friends and to anyone who wishes to enjoy some quiet and peaceful time in nature while eating delicious snacks and sipping on wonderful wines.

We will definitely be back in the future.
Thanks, Rebecca!

Cheers, Larissa and Gian.

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.

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.

Everything you need provided, take advantage of being off grid. Try out a record, it's been so long. Sit and read one of the well chosen books. And wander the countryside. The units are perfectly laid out for a comfortable stay.

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.

The best, EVER! This amazing getaway blew our expectations out of the water. I originally was tossing up between this place and another one, but when I saw that no dates were available for my stay I emailed Rebecca and got an INSTANT reply giving me other options. This communication and positivity was the reason I decided to go ahead with KR.

Once we arrived at the home, we knew EXACTLY how to get in due to the amazing communication throughout the week prior.

Everything in the home was perfect, everything was labeled with extra charges CLEARLY stated. We opened to door to the most amazing view, and a BBQ and breakfast hamper full of LOCAL products that made it feel like we were truly in the Yarra Valley.

There was a TV which we decided not to use, instead, we lit the fire and played the games provided, we even put some vinyl jazz music on and just enjoyed our company.

We can't thank you enough for our stay, we will be back 100%!

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!

The Cabin was just amazing with the best views and was just so relaxing. Everything you could possibly need and much more. Rebecca was so helpful and we loved our stay so much. We would definitely come back.

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!

Really disappointed to be writing this review.we had a good time, however the phone call after our stay and extra charges for the following items left a sour taste and air of disappointment which one does not expect from a luxurious experience. As a 5 star accommodation we didn't think we would be charged for the hair shampoo, hair conditioner, body lotion, body wash which by the way we used up! After our check out my partner received a call asking us where the bottles were.to which he replied he had used them. The owner told us we will be charged for this, apparently they fill the bottles.we actually thought it was a joke at first. You will be able to see from my prior reviews we stay at luxury places and this was definitely a unique experience but sadly not in a good wat. We received extra costs which amounted to over $130 for using hair shampoo, body wash, conditioner and body cream. I have never experienced this anywhere in the world. Which has led me to drop this as a 1 star. Customer experience is vital. We won't be recommending this to our family and friends.

Beautiful cabin, excellent way to relax and see the picturesque view of the valley. Very enjoyable and cosy experience with everything provided.

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.

Want to get away for a quiet, private, luxurious retreat? This is the place for you.it has an incredible view, and every amenity you could need or want is provided. The cabin is fabulous, yet intimate, and the hosts welcoming and responsive.

Comfy, serene, and great host!
Everything you need to have a great weekend, and right on the doorstep of Healesville and the Yarra Valley.

We stayed at Kangaroo Ridge Retreat for the weekend and we had the best time! Such a cozy and beautiful cabin with the most amazing views to the Yarra valley. It’s secluded, peaceful yet close to Healesville. Rebecca provides everything you need and she is a great host. We highly recommend it!

What a stay! Such a wonderful location and Rebecca was a fantastic host. Would highly recommend to anyone after a beautiful stay in the Yarra Valley.

Stunning secluded cabin in paradise! We had the most relaxing stay after our wedding and couldn't imagine a better way to unwind. That view, the fireplace, the spa, the brekky hamper - everything was perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Thank you so much for accommodating us! We can't wait to come back again soon.
