Additional Information

RETREAT DETAILS
The rustic mud brick guesthouse has 10 bedrooms, 5 with ensuite and 5 upstairs with a shared bathroom.

The Wilderness Retreat is popular with couples as well as larger groups of family and friends, school camps and study groups.
If you have a bigger group or would like a longer stay, please contact Gordy as the Riparide pricing system doesn't allow for different pricing for different size groups.

The open-plan kitchen and living room, with a huge dining table and wood stove for heating is a perfect spot to relax, share a feast and warm up after a day exploring the Alpine Region.

Outside, there is an outdoor kitchen for BBQing as well as a wood-fired pizza oven, outdoor fire heated bath, and campfire. You can explore the acres of pristine bush on the property, or venture further afield for fishing, bushwalking, mountain bike riding, or snow sports higher up in the mountains.

The guesthouse is off-grid, with solar hot water, and a combination of solar and hydro power. The rustic timber beams, slate floors and mud-brick walls create a cosy atmosphere - a true country wilderness retreat.
