About this property

Redbrow Garden is nestled between the northern outskirts of Australia’s National Capital, Canberra and the Murumbateman cool climate wine region, all surrounded by an inspiring lakeside garden and wildlife refuge.

Located 30 minutes from the heart of Canberra, and close to many acclaimed wineries and renowned restaurants, Redbrow Guesthouse is an ideal retreat for discerning Capital Country locals or Australian and international visitors to the Canberra region.

Please note that my family and I live on-site in a separate residential area, but no other guests will be staying during your exclusive booking.

Our quoted rates are $1000 per night for up to 8 staying guests, with an additional charge of $60 per person per night. This includes exclusive access to the following areas:

Kitchenette
Guest Lounge (DVD Library, Entertainment, Library)
Tennis Court
Table Tennis
Undercover Lakeside Deck with BBQ
Gardens
Orchards
Chicken Pens
Alapacas

Adjacent to our main building is our lakeside building with four spacious lakeside suites each equipped with double showers available for overnight and long stay guests:

Lakeside suites:
1) queen and single
2) queen and single
3) king and single
4) queen and 3x single

In our main building we have three breakaway rooms that share one shower and bathroom, however, there are two additional restrooms adjacent to the kitchenette:

Guest lounge breakaway rooms:
1) queen and 2x single
2) double and 2x single
3) double and single

We also host garden weddings, functions and events for up to 120 people, please contact us to discuss.

Be assured that Redbrow Garden is a unique and special oasis but to avoid disappointment, please be sure that you are not seeking to replicate the modern city hotel experience. If you are looking for a place to have a family reunion, shutterbugs meetup, country life getaway and any other activities suitable for a country style retreat; then our lakeside guesthouse should be perfect for you.

Our "facilities" include the peace and tranquillity of the surrounding gardens, the enjoyment of a walk hand in hand, a bite from the orchard, indoor activities, a game of tennis, table tennis or a view of the lake and birds. Numerous indoor and outdoor areas are available allowing for privacy or mingling with other guests. If you are unsure of any aspect of your visit please do not hesitate to speak with us before making a reservation.

Relaxing family break

The property is very peaceful, in a great natural rural setting. The rooms were comfortable and spacious. A good place to relax with family and watch the birds on the lake. The kitchen could be a little bit better, the addition of a normal stove would improve the flexibility of the meals you could cook.

Great place, great owners

We organised for a small weekend away with friends and were thoroughly impressed by the place and owners. The rooms were lovely and well kept, and property picturesque. Great outdoor area for gatherings and fire-pit ready to go on arrival. Would definitely recommend and look to go back again.

Beautiful Property

Myself and a group of friends stayed a weekend at the property with no issues at all. The property is beautiful, was chilly outside but plenty of heating inside as well as a Bon Fire. My group of friends loved the stay, and the owners were lovely and gave us all the privacy we needed! We will definitely be back again !!

Nice place poor management

The place was nice with very nice view but it needs to be cleaned, looked after and better management as there is no privacy. -The arcade only opened after three times of askeing for it 😒 -The dog wasn't allowed to dig and I I don't speak dogs so I had to watch him all the time -The BBC was very dirty -You not allowed to eat on the dinning table only in the kitchen but then they let us have some snacks in there -The owners keep show up, we didn't feel we have privacy, but they were nice people and they did help with the fireplace which was nice of them Other then that the rooms very nice with comfy beds and the view was the best, I really hope they manage the place better so I can give it another visit.

Great location

The property was great for a large group of friends! Multiple bathrooms were amazing!! The kitchen wasn’t fully equipped for easy cooking and there were ants all over the benches. A bar fridge in one of the rooms was also full of mould. Not enough pillows for the large beds. A little bit dated. Overall a great location and beautiful surrounds! We were blessed with lots of rain and the undercover area was really good for us to convert a long table to all still be able to sit outside and stay dry! We had a wonderful weekend!!!

Early Christmas gathering for our family

We have just enjoyed a weekend family gathering here. Great-grandparents from aged 94 down to the youngest ones aged 2 years, everyone enjoyed their stay. For us it was a great central location and room enough for the whole extended group. The deck was just the perfect spot for meal times, especially when in rained on the first night. The rain wasn't a problem, as it was all undercover and the view of the lake in the rain just capped it off. The chooks, llamas and blue tongue lizards were a big hit with the kids. For the adults -the gardens, the views and the extra goodies in the fridge were an added bonus. Well done

A beautiful location in which to gather friends and family for a cosy and comfortable celebration.

We wanted somewhere to celebrate our daughter’s 21st. We had a range of 25 guests aged from 7 to 66 plus a small dog and all had a blast. Maxx helped set up all the required beds and then sorted out the technecalities of projectors and a sound system. It was a freezing cold evening but with patio heaters and a fire pit everyone scoffed their barbequed burgers, talked, laughed, danced and had the odd glass of red in perfect comfort. The games room and living room were toasty warm and the playstation kept the kids happy all weekend when they weren’t exploring the beautiful grounds and lakeside gardens. They met all sorts of birds and frogs, loved the llamas and hens and we all put up with the cockerel! Maxx and his family made us all feel welcome and we only wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy all the region has to offer. We will definitely be back whenever we visit Canberra!

Tranquil time spent in beautiful surroundings.

Thank you for our stay. As a large family of varying ages there was lots to do for anyone who wanted to do something and plenty for those who did not. Beautiful surroundings and comfortable lodgings.

Relaxing and close to vineyards

Redbrow is set on a large piece of land with room to hide, walk, reflect. The lake provides a pleasant place to relax and there is plenty of room to house approx 25 guests. The rooms are comfortable and air-conditioned. All linen, towels, cutlery and cooking gear is provided, which is very helpful. There is a large games room and the option to ride a bike around the property. Tennis court is not operational. Excellent location if you're into wine tasting as Murrumbateman wineries are very special (Clonakilla, Shaw, Eden Road, Helm etc.)
