Summary:
Wake to alpacas, ponies, goats, sheep and chickens on a 4-acre farm — then take a short car ride to Wamberal and Terrigal Beach. This farm-luxe cottage blends rustic charm with modern comforts: a fire pit under the stars, a retro caravan for larger groups, and animals your kids will never forget.
The Space:
Located on a sprawling urban acreage on the Central Coast, Ridgeway Ranch is a sanctuary where designer flair meets the rustic heart of the countryside. High ceilings, polished floorboards, and thoughtful "restored retro" touches make this cottage feel airy, soulful, and unmistakably special — a private world from the moment you arrive.
What We Love
Location: Privately positioned on an urban acreage in Wamberal, surrounded animals and gardens. Our central location means Wamberal Beach, cafes, and the best of the Central Coast are just minutes away — and once through the gate, you're in your own world.
Design: A masterful blend of old-world charm and modern elegance. High ceilings, polished floorboards, and playful "restored retro" touches give the cottage a sense of soul that guests fall in love with.
Living Areas: The lounge and dining rooms are designed for true relaxation — bathed in natural light with peaceful views of the surrounding greenery. Perfect for a wine by the window or a family board game night.
Outdoor Spaces: This is where the magic happens. The expansive firepit area is the heart of the outdoor experience — picture a long lunch at the large outdoor table followed by an evening of roasting marshmallows under a blanket of stars while farm animals graze nearby.
Kitchen & Amenities: A dream for those who love to cook. The modern kitchen features a gas cooktop, oven, and SMEG fridge. High-speed WiFi, a smart TV, and a washer/dryer combo mean every comfort is covered.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms:
Bedroom 1: Queen bed with high ceilings — light, airy, and beautifully styled
Bedroom 2: One Double and one Single bed — a cozy den perfect for kids
Bathroom: Full-sized bath and shower
The Retro Caravan: For groups of 6 or more, add our Restored Retro Caravan — a showstopper in the garden sleeping guests in a King and King Single bed. Enquire to add it to your booking.
The Animals: Morning or evening, we invite you to join us as we tend to and feed our "herd of little lovelies" — alpacas, ponies, goats, sheep & chickens. A hands-on experience that children and the young at heart will never forget.
Whether you're gathered around the firepit for a celebration, looking for a midweek couples escape by the firepit, red wine in hand, and alpacas at the fence, sharing a quiet moment with our animals, or tucked away in the retro caravan for a night of nostalgia — Ridgeway Ranch is about making memories that last. It's more than a stay, it's a return to nature with all the luxuries of home.
Guest Access:
The property has a digital smart lock and is accessible anytime. We love to meet our guests, introduce our friendly animals, and share the story of the ranch — so don't hesitate to say hello.
The Neighborhood:
The Ridgeway Ranch is an urban country experience with the convenience of the beach and cafes only a stones throw away. You're not in the middle of nowhere but you will wake with animals and your doorstep on this little acreage. Tumbi Rd can be busy at times but embracing the open space and animals is an easy option.
Getting Around:
You will need a car to get around the area but we have ample off-street parking.
Other Things to Note:
To add the Retro Caravan to your booking, please select 6+ adult guests and enquire prior to booking
We do cater for small events and celebrations — please enquire for packages and approval before booking
Tumbi Rd runs alongside the property and can be lively during peak periods, but the acreage provides a genuine sense of privacy and escape once you're inside
