About this property

Ridgetop Retreats - Deep Creek National Park close to the Kangaroo Island ferry

The Ridgetop Retreats continue to set the benchmark in design excellence for nature based holiday accommodation. Designed by renowned architect Max Pritchard they take full advantage of their beautiful location in the Stringybark Forest in Deep Creek Conservation Park and successfully blend sustainability with a high standard of comfort.

They have been used as a template for sustainable tourism accommodation both in South Australia and Victoria and were awarded the prestigious Royal Australian Institute of Architects Award of Merit.

But being environmentally friendly doesn’t mean going without. Parquetry floors, bespoke stainless steel kitchen, leather sofas and cedar venetians provide a rich texture for the senses.

The floor to ceiling windows that are the hallmark of the Ridgetop Retreats create a strong sense of being connected to nature. There is so much glass you will feel like you are out under the stars and in among the trees.

Visiting kangaroos, birds, bandicoots, a lush forest with wildflowers and ever changing weather patterns provide a visual feast for you to enjoy from your panoramic view point.

The Retreats can accommodate up to 4 guests and are provided with all linen and continental breakfast. They are centrally located in Deep Creek Conservation Park and a convenient starting point for the Forest Circuit Walk and Spring Wildflower Walk.

Host profile image
We are a small family owned business who decided to make a sea change, leave the city life and careers in Adelaide back in late 1993. We started our business in January in 1994. and have 6 self contained holiday accommodation inside Deep Creek National Park. In 2024 we will be celebrating 30 years in nature stay accommodation the Fleurieu Peninsula..
This is our sole source of income so we take what we do seriously and aim to provide a memorable experience for our guests.
Although we have been in business for nearly 3 decades we are relatively new to adding our accommodation to Stayz and other booking platforms as we have our own website. In the past we have been fortunate to have a high repeat customer base where our guests would book direct but we have found that the booking landscape has changed and more and more accommodation providers are using these platforms to attract guests to their accommodation properties. Therefore the addition of some of our accommodation to this platform.
We have always enjoyed connecting with our guests in some way either via phone or face to face and are proud to showcase our region and Deep Creek National Park.
We hope when you stay with us you will leave with fond memories of the beautiful Fleurieu Peninsula.

Why they chose this property

We chose the Fleurieu Peninsula because just loved the National Park, the landscape and beaches in the area.
We also love the fact that it is only 90 minutes south of Adelaide which makes it an easy and scenic drive to this stunning coastal area.

What makes this property unique

.We are the only accommodation located right inside the Deep Creek National Park.
We provide all our guests with a complimentary park pass to enable them to access all the walks and lookouts in Deep Creek.
We are only a 10 minute drive from the Kangaroo Island Ferry and a 45 minute drive from the Seaside town of Victor Harbor..
Situated on the Fleurieu Peninsula only a 90 minute drive from the South of Adelaide it is the ideal weekend or holiday destination. Close to the start of the famous Heysen Trail and a 10 minute easy drive to the Kangaroo Island Ferry Terminal at Cape Jervis makes our accommodation an ideal stopover before and after a trip to Kangaroo Island.
We are also located close to the small beachside hamlets of Rapid Bay and Second Valley making our properties the ideal secluded but central place to stay.
Normanville, Carrickalinga and Yankalilla are located approximately 30 minute drive away where you will be able to discover some of the quaint little shops on offer.
