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.

Winter Stargazing in the Yarra Valley
When winter settles over Kangaroo Ridge Retreat, the nights turn crisp, dark and beautifully still. From your cabin, wander to a prepared on-site viewing spot with an open southern outlook across the valley. This private Yarra Valley stargazing experience includes a laser-guided sky tour and telescopic views of the Moon, planets, star clusters and distant galaxies. Big sky, no crowds, hot chocolate in hand, then back to the fireplace, your sense of scale gently restored.
