Kangaroo Ridge Retreat
Kangaroo Ridge Retreat is a 4-star, sustainability-accredited, hosted stay with private retreats for one or two people, set high on a secluded 50-acre property in the Yarra Valley. An hour from Melbourne, but you'll feel the pace drop the moment you start the climb up the ridge.
Up here it's big sky and massive views, looking out across the Yarra Valley to the mountains beyond. Your retreat is private and thoughtfully set up for a slower pace, hosted with the ease of independent check-in, a crackling fireplace in winter, a deep soak spa, and a balcony for two that you'll lose time on. Inside, you'll find a locally stocked in-cabin larder and wine bar, so you can taste the region without having to go anywhere.
They're big on ease, clarity and the little details that make time feel well spent. Come for the quiet, the seclusion and that travel feeling that resets you properly.

Spring Stargazing in the Yarra Valley
Add a little more magic to your spring stay with a private stargazing experience on the Ridge. As twilight fades, wander from your cabin to a prepared viewing spot for a private laser-guided tour of the southern sky and telescopic views of the Moon, planets, star clusters and distant galaxies. Hot chocolate in hand, no crowds, just big sky, good stories and the two of you looking up. Then wander back to your cabin, the fire and your sense of scale gently restored.
Solo Escape
Press pause on the noise and come up to the ridge. No calls. No schedules. Just you. Book a two-night Solo Stay with massive views, a deep soak spa and a private balcony. They'll set you up with breakfast and the gourmet larder, sparkling wine and joyful blooms on arrival, a Nourishing Me meal pack and their signature candle. Late checkout, too. Consider it date night for one: record on, candle lit, zero small talk. Extras like massage, yoga or a driver can be added.
