About this property
Ruddle's Retreat - for families, kids and pets
A special place for families or couples looking for a memorable holiday, or musicians, writers and artists looking for inspiration. Live in a beautiful quiet country house. Catch sunrise and sunset views from the decks and don't forget your camera!
Experience total relaxation with the colorful garden, friendly wildlife, birdsong, fresh air.
Ruddle's Retreat is the perfect choice for a surprise romantic weekend.
We are very children and pet friendly.
Ruddle's Retreat has a lovely welcoming feel as soon as you enter the property. The atmosphere is deliberately not meticulous, though the house is always presented very clean and tidy, and we are proud of that. There are no signs telling you how to save water or what not to put down the loo! I travel extensively, and I know there's nothing nicer than opening the door and instantly feeling at home.
Guests have use of the whole house except locked cupboards and the shed.
Ruddle's is also advertised on other web sites so please be patient while we double check your requested dates against the calendars. We will generally respond with a confirmation well within 24 hours though.
It doesn't get much better. Ruddle's Retreat sits on top of a hill in a very quiet, beautiful, peaceful and neighborhood friendly lane.
A friendly local taxi service is available. Popular venues are Shotgun, Sarah's Unplugged, Old Bank Cafe and Finbar. There are plenty of great restaurants to try out. There's even a brewery in town. Don't miss the aviary tour at the Botanical Gardens.
Ruddle's Retreat has been a holiday house for our guests for 10 years. Over 60% of our guests are returning guests, and some still return every year.
Ruddle's Retreat can provide a venue for small quieter marquee weddings, corporate training sessions, yoga and meditation days, or 'sensible' events for up to 60 guests. We have a built in SONOS / Spotify sound system on the deck, surround sound and basic Foxtel in the lounge and free unlimited internet access. There's even a piano.
Please.. Smoking inside the house is not permitted at all. Smoking outside is fine but cigarette butts do not enhance the beauty of garden, grow into trees or get eaten by parrots. It's a fantastic help if all the used linen is left in the downstairs bath but we totally understand if you didn't really want to leave and just ran out of time.
Please feel at home and enjoy your stay here.
