Kangaroo Ridge Retreat is a hidden place. A romantic getaway near Melbourne, set along a private ridge in Healesville, in the Yarra Valley. About an hour from the city, it’s made for wanderers, dreamers, and solo seekers. Have a drink, run a bath, breathe in the view, and fall in love with this part of Victoria.

Call it a cure for that persistent case of wanderlust. Take in the sights, sounds, and tastes of the Yarra Valley. Here, you’ll find a quiet balance between comfort and wildness, privacy and presence. With just the right amount of exposure to the elements, it’s a stay designed to bring you back to yourself, whether you’re travelling solo or as a pair.

Some things are simply better in slo-mo.

Luxury by Nature

Hide away at a design-led retreat where luxury feels effortless and nature sets the pace. This is not about flash. It’s about space, stillness and considered comfort.

Floor-to-ceiling windows open up to sweeping views across the valley and mountains, giving you the sense that you have the ridge entirely to yourself.

Each cabin features its own in-retreat wine bar with handpicked Yarra Valley drops, and a larder stocked with local gourmet treats.
