Would recommend to anyone wanting a quiet relaxing weekend with family, friends or just a couple. totally per friendly. Our Labrador loved everything even the visit each morning from Jack and Mitch.

Perfect getaway
Our stay at Abercrombie Ridge was simply outstanding. Russ was incredibly welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. The house was beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and had all the amenities I could have asked for. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I slept so well every night. The location was perfect, with the most amazing views. I would highly recommend Abercrombie Ridge to anyone looking for a perfect getaway. Thank you to Russ for making our stay so memorable!

Beautiful, relaxing retreat
We were greeted with big smiles on entry, and our kids loved their friendly kelpies. The Barn was so tastefully designed, you can tell the owners take great pride and no expense was spared. For myself, it was just super relaxing, the views were incredible, nothing beats the beautiful country side. For my kids, the experience was magic, waking up in the morning to look out the window and see deers and kangaroos, they just couldn't contain their excitement. We flew kites, played lots of outdoor games, and made the most of the games room. We all really had a great time, thank you.

Phenomenal disconnect from city life
My hubby, kids (4 and 5), dog and I stayed at Abercrombie Ridge for the June long weekend. Our expectations were exceeded based on the property but also the vast countryside around it. It was a lovely weekend that enabled us to completely disconnect from our city life and enjoy nature. The kids adored the property and were obsessed with the kangaroos and had a daily ritual of collecting sticks for the fire. Russ was a great host, he ensured that we had a good handover and then left us to relax into our stay. We can’t wait to come back again! 10/10!

Country birthday weekend getaway
What an amazing place. Close to Sydney yet it feels miles from anywhere. The Barn was so well stocked a fantastic kitchen for cooking and beautifully furnished. Very clean and very well organised. 8 adults really stretched the sleeping layout, it is well set up for 6 people the pull out sofa bed is really only suitable for 1 adult or a couple of kids. All 3 queen beds were luxurious and very comfortable. The outdoor spa was amazing sitting over the valley. Be aware the games room is another building not attached to the barn but very close by and very well set up. You will need to take everything with you and return home with your rubbish. But that really was no problem. Would highly recommend this wonderful place to anyone looking for some country vibes and downtime. We celebrated my husband’s 60 birthday with our adult kids and the setting was perfect. An outdoor and indoor fire well stocked with wood completed the stay. We even saw deer and lots of kangaroo close by. Would certainly stay again!

Generosity
Not only is this property elegantly decorated and one with nature, the hosts are generous in their welcome and attentiveness...its those extra touches: personalised welcome note, bottle of sparkling wine, coffee pods and a large box of chocolates, that will always stay with us. This property is highly recommended, thank you for having us Mark and Russ.

Great spot for a relaxing getaway from the city
We had such a good stay at this well equipped and tranquil house. Everything in the description is spot on, but I don’t think I truly understood what an amazing location for this place. Almost 360 degree views from the ridge and some stunning sunsets! We will be back!

Absolutely amazing
Our group and our dog had such an amazing few days at the Abercrombie Ridge. It was very relaxing and the views during the day AND night were phenomenal! We especially enjoyed taking a stroll around the property and taking in the amazing scenery and watching the sunset with a drink in the hot tub. Spotting wildlife throughout the day was a bonus for us too. Russ was such a helpful and friendly host and we would highly recommend anybody to stay here!

We had a lovely weekend away and truly relaxed. The property is well fitted and kitted out with modern fixtures and furniture. Great roaring fire kept us toasty warm.

Great weekend
Stayed for the weekend last August and had a great time. The barn is really spacious and easily fitted six adults and two babies. It was a very cold and snowy weekend so couldn’t really take advantage of the outside areas. The fire place kept us all warm and toasty inside. Lots of games available and loads of dvds to watch. All in all a comfortable stay with all amenities provided. Only criticism was the rather arduous cleaning requirements when the cleaning fee is pretty heavy. Great views and great entertainment room even with the dash in the snow. Thanks for having us.

Hi Catherine, thank you so much for such a kind review. As you're aware, the property is in such a remote location and our council does not provide the property with a rubbish collection. We ask all guests to take away what they bring with them. Also we employ local cleaners which do travel to get to the property and a certain number of hours is only allocated for each clean. When guests do not tidy up after themselves, it takes much longer to clean. Whilst there were no issues with your stay, we do need to consider those small percentage of guests who just walk out and don't care about what is left behind. It really was a pleasure having you and your guests on the property and we look forward to seeing you back on the Ridge again soon.

We didn't want to leave...
Thanks Russ and Mark for an amazing few days of absolutely nothing. The Barn had everything we needed and more, so much so that we didn't have any wish to leave during our stay and could have easily spent a few more sunsets in the spa watching the fading evening light flicker across the hills. Too perfect!

Everything I Could Have Asked For
The Barn at Abercrombie Ridge was the perfect place for a country getaway. The Barn was well-equipped with everything we needed, and was perfectly clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked all the utensils and appliances you could think of, including everything I needed to prepare Christmas lunch (as our stay was over the Christmas break). There was even a Christmas tree in the living area, which was such a nice touch. The property itself is beautiful, and the kangaroos & wallabies came by every morning and afternoon. We were perfectly cool inside during the hot summer days, but the Barn also has air conditioning if needed (as well as electric blankets and a fire if you need warming up in winter). The spa on the back deck was amazing, and so nice to relax in and stargaze at night under the clear skies. We had an incredible stay, and would happily return.
