The Ridge House is a four-bedroom country retreat set on 50 acres of private bushland in West Gippsland, just 90 minutes from Melbourne.

Perched high on a ridgeline overlooking a valley stretching toward Mount Baw Baw, the fully renovated farmhouse sleeps up to eight guests across four queen bedrooms, making it perfect for couples, families, girls weekends and small groups wanting space, nature and comfort.

Made for slow mornings, long lunches and fireside evenings, The Ridge House has been thoughtfully designed to help guests settle in and switch off. Host Kristy has considered every detail, from a crackling indoor fire ready to light to complimentary breakfast provisions featuring produce from Gippsland makers, including honey from the hives on the neighbouring farm.

Two private walking trails wind through towering ash gums and fern gullies, following the path of the original 1880s logging tramway. At sunset, many guests make their way to Loggers Lookout, a timber viewing platform overlooking the valley below.

Dogs are welcome at The Ridge House, with plenty of open space to explore together.

Positioned at the gateway to Gippsland, The Ridge House is the perfect home base for exploring the broader region, from South Gippsland villages, wineries and beaches to Wilsons Promontory and the lakes and waterways of East Gippsland.
