Ruddle's Retreat - for families, kids and pets

Stunning location, very thoughtful hosts! Positive: The hosts added beautiful little touches that made the welcome and whole stay very sweet! The view was absolutely stunning and the deck is the perfect place to enjoy mealtimes, sundowners and boardgames. The whole house was very clean and spacious! Negative: It was very hot, plenty of fans provided but unless you have all the doors and windows open (and letting the mozzies in) by mid morning it was very stuffy. Not a "didn't like" just a suggestion - baby gate provided at top of stairs which was amazing at night and when using the upstairs area, but one at the bottom would also be great as we had to keep an eye on the little guy whenever we were downstairs as all he wanted to do was go up and down the stairs.

A stunning stay in the hinterland! Simply magical. Positive: Beautiful scenery

All up - excellent Positive: Location. Privacy Negative: Upstairs got a bit hot. Installation of an air-con unit highly recommended, but st the very least a ceiling fan on the main bedroom. Also recommend some written instructions on using the BOSE / Foxtel system. A bit confusing requiring trial and error as is.

Wonderful country experience Positive: Very warm and cosy. Firewood was much appreciated. Musical instruments were great for us musicians too Negative: Nil

Positive: Beautiful, old school aesthetic that gave you an instant feeling of relaxation and peace
