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. ## Property amenities ### Bedrooms - Bedroom ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No elevator (single-level property) - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Change of towels on request ### Things to do - Bicycle parking ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bicycle parking - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Grey water recycling system - Recycling - Solar energy - Towels (changed on request) - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76770000/76761400/76761332/b8d6ab43.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Panoramic Beach house, modern & immaculately presented to sleep up to 10 guests Carrickalinga - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-15&endDate=2026-02-16&selected=76761332&PinnedHotelID=76761332&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/32000000/31900000/31895500/31895439/37caef9a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Leawarra stays in the farm - Fleurieu Peninsula Pages Flat - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Game room - Parking available 9.8 Exceptional 75 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-15&endDate=2026-02-16&selected=31895439&PinnedHotelID=31895439&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/46000000/45590000/45586000/45585984/57141ed0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 3 minute walk to beach, cafe & shops.

Lovely watching the kangaroos outside the window when having your breakfast before going one of the scenic hikes through the national park. ##### Adam D. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael S. Aug 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### So relaxing, so peaceful. Perfect for a weekend away for a couple, if coming as 2 couples I would recommend hiring another one in the group or it might be a bit tight. The views, open fire and natural surrounds excellent. The walks fantastic. Highly recommended. ##### Michael S.
