Everything about the stay was amazing! The location, accommodation, hosts.
Absolutely gorgeous, Russ and Mark have thought of every little detail.
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.
Can't wait to return!
This beautiful spot along the Abercrombie River was the ideal setting for a getaway with friends. Our group of six stayed in the Barn, which exceeded our expectations in terms of comfort and amenities.
The Barn is designed perfectly for a group, with comfortable beds, open style living and an amazing kitchen that is well-stocked with quality cooking equipment, making self-catering a breeze. We spent much of our time enjoying the views from this fantastic accommodation, but we also ventured out for some bushwalking and exploration in the nearby National Park.
One of the highlights of our stay was undoubtedly the hot tub. There’s something magical about soaking in warm water outdoors while gazing at the expansive night sky filled with stars. It was a great way to unwind after a day of activities.
Another charming aspect of our visit was the two dogs on the property, Jackson and Mitchel, both Australian Kelpies. They joined us on our bushwalks, and their presence made our experience even more enjoyable.
All in all, I can’t think of anything that could have improved our stay. Just a tip for future visitors: make sure to bring all your essentials, such as milk, corn cakes, and bread, as it’s quite a journey to return for forgotten items. Abercrombie Ridge truly offers a luxurious camping experience without the hassle of tents, and I wholeheartedly recommend it for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with friends.
Just simply magical. Clean, cozy, pet-friendly, impeccable kitchen, and just nature all around. What more can you ask for? Seriously can't fault this stay with anything. This is one of the best stays out there. The hosts (and their dogs) are extremely accomodating too!
A beautiful and cosy barn with beautiful views. Such an amazing spot for a weekend retreat. The accommodation provided everyhing you can possibly need for a remote getaway. Lovely host. Would recommend to others and revisit.
An absolute gem! Abercrombie Ridge is the ultimate sanctuary for anyone looking to relax and reconnect in a beautiful setting. The immense effort and care Russ and Mark have put into this property is truly unmatched, with every detail designed to make you feel at home. It resulted in an unforgettable stay, and we couldn't recommend it more highly!
Abercrombie Ridge was everything we hoped it would be and more! Beautiful location and accommodation, it catered for the whole family. We will definitely be back!

Brilliant!
What an amazing property! Couldn’t fault anything. Welcoming hosts, brilliant accommodation and a spectacular location. Thank you!
Wonderful location and the accommodation was first class. Russ had obviously gone to some lengths to make sure we were as comfortable as possible. We just relaxed and enjoyed ourselves. Lots of memories that will last a lifetime. Thanks Russ!
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!

Place to Unwind!
Our group of four adults and 4 children had a wonderful long weekend stay at Abercrombie Ridge. The property itself is immaculate, the scenery beautiful and the host committed to ensuring a great stay. The fire pit certainly got a workout - the perfect place for an afternoon beverage and the inside fire also kept us cosy. The house is very well equipped and kitchen had everything we needed. The spa was super warm and our group also enjoyed a hike on the property to a lovely river. We highly recommend a stay here and hope to return in the future.

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!
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.

Just what the doctor ordered!
From the minute we arrived at the property Russ (and Maddie and Kyle) made us so welcome. All the information we needed was in the welcome pack and everything was exactly as described on the web site. The house was so well equipped with everything we needed. We stayed with our 4 kids, aged 18 - 10 years old and reconnected as a family. We went on a bush walk, recommend by Russ, and saw an echidna and kangaroos. Most of the time was spent in the spa, especially at night seeing the amazing night sky. My only complaint was that we didn't stay longer.

A Magical country experience
This property caters to all needs of all ages. The owners are 'guest focussed' and we were provided with everything we needed to be truly comfortable - even in the rain (and there was plenty), we were warm and cosy. Great book and DVD collection- excellent sound system and the spa outside was sublime. The property itself is totally private and silent apart from the wind in the trees and morning birds chirping. A fabulous nature buzz, with Wallabies and Kangaroos checking us out every now and again. Lots of space to chuck and kick a ball which had the kids off their gaming devices a lot of the time. We will return without a doubt.
This trip was booked for a weekend away with family visiting from Ireland. We all loved it so much, there was lots to do at Abercrombie Ridge, so much wildlife and extremely beautiful views. The perfect location for a family holiday. Thanks so much to the hosts for an incredible stay 😊
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!
