The fully self-contained accommodation at Ribbon Gum Lodge (sleeps 6 adults & 2-3 children) is available for family or group lettings at all times. However, smaller groups can choose to book just the upper level, known as Ribbon Gum Suites (sleeps 4 adults & 2 children), which is available for weekday lettings (Sundays to Fridays). The property has a carport and off street parking for up to 4 cars.


Climb the stairs, close the front door behind you and be transported to a world of relaxation and rejuvenation. French doors and picture windows take in expansive views of the forest outside where you can brunch on the deck and watch the mist lift, revealing the whispering ribbon gum trees dotted throughout the gully below. Enjoy a book from the library, or just put your feet up and unwind in comfortable lounges by our inviting stone fireplace. In the evening, make a reservation at some of the Upper Mountains delightful restaurants, or simply select one of the latest movies from our free in-house DVD archive.

RIBBON GUM LODGE (6-8 guests)

Step through the french doored entrance and you're immediately in the great room which reveals the over 40 sq/m of combined lounge/dining/kitchen. The lounge area has comfortable seating for up to 8 people, a substantial library stocked with books and magazines, entertainment facilities in TV/DVD/Audio players, a games cupboard, the stone fireplace and a double sofa-bed if needed. The dining area has seating for up to 8 people, with an additional stool at the kitchen bench. The modern kitchen features hand-made timber benchtops and is fully equipped with all necessary appliances including both a drip-feed and Expressi coffee-maker for the enthusiast. The skylight in the centre hall floods the Lodge interior with light, which reveals the old exposed timbers of the original cottage. The thoroughly modern bathroom has everything you'll need including undertile floor heating.


The sleeping accommodations consist of the 'Kanimbla Suite' (Bedroom 1), which has a sumptuous queen bed and opens directly out onto the large verandah. This large room also has a study desk (for writers), a small library, a lounging chair and a large built in wardrobe. The 'Megalong Suite' (Bedroom 2) features two single beds (or a king bed when joined), a walk in wardrobe and the room opens out onto its own sunlit maisonette balcony. Adding privacy, the Lodge also includes the large downstairs 'Studio' (Bedroom 3), which features a queen bed, an en-suite bathroom with underfloor heating and a well-equipped kitchenette with table and chairs, TV, Video and stereo player as well as two comfortable tub lounge chairs. Please note that the Studio is not internally connected to the main level, and the en-suite is an open design (no door), so couples staying there need to be aware of this.


The Lodge features a huge wrap-around 65 sq/m sun deck and verandah, which is furnished with outdoor sun lounges and sun beds for those lazy afternoons. Play a game on the 'middle garden lawn' or just admire the separately terraced private gardens, which are a great place for bird watching or to simply relax.

RIBBON GUM SUITES (4-6 guests)

Please note that 'Ribbon Gum Suites' is the same property as described above, but without the downstairs Studio, and is available from Sundays to Fridays, outside of School & Public Holidays.
