Stroll and shop in Yarragon's historic and charming village. Picnic at sunset on the new Loggers Lookout or ask us to cook you a farmhouse meal. Be in the snow at Mt Baw Baw or the sea at Inverloch in an hour.

The space
We spent a year renovating The Ridge House with loads of love and meticulous attention to detail. We kept every ounce of its original grace and charm and added two new bathrooms, a new kitchen, new flooring, air-conditioning, heating, and all new beds and bedding. We have speedy free WiFi making "work from anywhere" easy.

We provide:
— Your first breakfast - Gippsland Jersey milk and butter, local sourdough bread, homemade jam, honey from our hives, eggs, veggies, and herbs (when available)
— Linen & towels. Note additional charge for beds used by infants under two.
— Firewood
— Plunger coffee, black, and herbal tea bags
— Hot chocolate and marshmallows
— Pantry basics (olive oil, sugar, salt and pepper, foil, baking paper & glad wrap)
— Fully equipped kitchen (cast-iron dutch oven, cake pans, mixing bowls and ample glass and dinnerware. Feel free to bake up a storm)
— Picnic basket and rug
— Board games and playing cards
— Outdoor dining table, chairs, umbrella, and gas Webber BBQ

Hello Travellers!
I love adventures, nature, open fires, feeling welcomed and a little lux comfort in my accomodation. The Ridge House is designed with this mind — with a few surprises thrown in.
It’s the perfect antidote to city life.
