Additional Information

You'll need a car to get around as Abercrombie Ridge is in remote country NSW. All of the major attractions within the area are about a 30-60 drive away so it's important not to run out of fuel leaving town, we suggest filling up with fuel in Goulburn or Oberon.

If you're planning on exploring the property, make sure to pack some closed walking shoes or trainers, and consider wearing long pants. We want you to be comfortable and safe while enjoying the beautiful views and scenery.

Abercrombie Ridge is located about 26kms from Taralga and 70kms from Goulburn.

We recommend bringing all the essentials, including food and alcohol before leaving town, ands don't forget to top up on fuel before leaving town as we're quite remote!

While you're here, there are plenty of things to do in the local area. You can visit Taralga Wildlife Park or Wombeyan Caves, enjoy a meal at Laggan Pantry, The Argyle Inn or the Sports Club (where all the locals go), or grab a drink with friends at The Taralga Hotel or Laggan Brewing Co. If you're interested in history, the Taralga Historical Society has some interesting relics on display.

For the adventurous, there are also some great places to visit nearby, such as Mayfield Gardens, Abercrombie National Park, and Jenolan Caves, as well as our neighbouring towns of Crookwell, Goulburn, and Oberon – all great towns worth exploring, be sure to see what our beautiful region has to offer!

We want to ensure that your stay is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. If you happen to encounter any issues during your stay or notice any breakages, please don't hesitate to let us know within the first 24 hours.

While we do live on the property, we like to give our guests their privacy. You'll typically only see us at check-in and when we introduce you to your accommodation. However, we're always available to answer any questions you may have or offer recommendations on activities in the area.

Just a heads up, we do have some furry friends on-site. Our two Kelpie puppies, Jackson and Mitchell, and our two cats, Minx and Rosi, are always around and love a good cuddle. Just be sure not to feed the Kelpies human food as they have a strict diet.

We hope you enjoy your stay with us and please feel free to reach out if you need anything at all!

We have stayed at a lot of pet friendly places over the years and are usually disappointed (overpriced and generally dirty), so we were a little skeptical when making our booking. This place far excee...ded our expectations, it’s truly extraordinary. Russ and Mark have meticulously thought through every detail, from beautiful decor, to the oh so comfortable beds and luxury linens, Aesop in the baths, well appointed kitchen, TV’s where you need them, the most incredible DVD collection, the spa with spectacular views and the most epic game room ever! Oh and not to mention…SUPER CLEAN! The property and the surrounding views are breath-taking and our two Boston terriers had the most amazing time playing with the Kelpie puppies. Abercrombie Ridge is a must stay. My only wish is that we would have booked longer, 2 nights was not enough. We will most certainly return.

Abercrombie Ridge is our full-time job, and we do live on-site (in the Quarters). We are a married couple and have been together for 20 years. The Ridge is a beautiful country getaway and is an extraordinary place that we wanted to share with others. Over the last 11 years since we've owned the Property, we've poured our hearts, our time, blood, sweat and tears into refreshing it and getting it to a place where we, our friends and others can enjoy. When you walk into The Barn, you can feel the love and warmth that has been added to our home, we're excited and hope that you love your time in our house too.
