Description

(Visit our Melross website for more information - just google "Melross" for link details).

The Rye House is a luxury self-contained farm house set on the historic property "Melross" in Kangaroo Valley. Situated on 240 acres, Melross is widely considered one of Kangaroo Valley's most beautiful properties. Breathtaking views from the house look out across the hills into the spectacular cliff escarpment that surrounds the entire property.

There are so many ways to enjoy your break at The Rye House on Melross - take long walks around the property and down to the river, wander down the country lane to collect some freshly-laid eggs from the chickens, lounge by the new swimming pool and sip on a freshly made Latte from the complementary Lavazza Espresso machine, create a feast on the barbeque and enjoy your meal with a glass of local wine, cuddle up by the fireplace, or just sit back and watch the animals graze and soak up the stunning views from the verandah. Come evening time, there's nothing better than a home-cooked dinner enjoyed outside on the deck gazing at the perfect valley stars.

However they choose to spend their time all our guests say the same thing: we never want to leave!

Only 5 minutes drive and you are in the charming township of Kangaroo Valley, which features the lively Friendly Inn and a select choice of cafes and restaurants.

Please note that there is a two night minimum stay.

The House

You will instantly fall in love with The Rye House on Melross. The house features generous verandahs, perfect for breakfasts overlooking the stunning Valley.

The Rye House has five bedrooms - two with queen size beds, two with double beds and one with two king single beds - and two bathrooms. We also have a portacot for guests with a baby. The house is perfect for families or a weekend away with friends.

The open plan, air-conditioned dining and lounge area creates a perfect area for socialising or sitting back and watching the large-screen plasma television. For those who enjoy their cooking, the well-equipped kitchen, including a Lavazza Espresso Machine, will help you cook up a storm!

The outside deck overlooking the swimming pool is perfect for dining day or night. At night, our guests love to have a candlelit dinner on the deck while marvelling at the Valley stars.

Surrounding areas

At Melross you will feel as though you have the world to yourself, yet you are only 5 minutes drive or a 25 minute walk from the town where you can enjoy browsing the shops and watching the world go by in one of the charming cafes.

If you're feeling active, the Valley features a golf course, horse riding trails, tennis courts and canoe hire. Further afield, you can enjoy the township of Berry (only 1/2 hour away) and the scenic beauty of Jervis Bay where you may be lucky enough to spot a dolphin! In the other direction, you can enjoy the majestic falls and two scenic bushwalks at the Fitzroy Falls national park (15 minutes drive).

  • "The house was a perfect layout for a group gathering, family or friends. Very well maintained. The house was extremely comfortable & cosy. The walks around the farm & the visits to the hen house were terrific for the kids. We thoroughly enjoyed & highly recommend this property. Our family & friends hire properties twice a year & this was our favourite by far."

  • "This is a truly beautiful place to stay and was a wonderful place for our family. A magnificent home, well appointed, lovely outlook and beautiful area. Thank you to Louise and Audrey for your help with bookings and during our stay. Our kids were in heaven and my Mum and Dad just loved it. We HOPE we'll be back ! "

  • "We have been coming to the Kangaroo Valley for many years now, and this is one of the best properties that we've stayed in. The views are second to none, the house well-appointed and the gardens and pool just lovely. As three small families, we found the house worked really well for meals, play time and relaxation, with plenty of room to have your own space. If you want to get away and just listen to the cows in the paddocks, watch the misty escarpment in its many moods or laze on the verandahs; Melross is the place to do it. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we extended our stay and have re-booked!"

  • "Melross exceeded every expectation! The quality of the accommodation is excellent and privately set in the most amazing grounds. We really enjoyed the walks - wandering through the paddocks and having our 2 year old son collecting eggs for us each morning. We will definately be back. "

  • "The house was perfect, the location ideal.We stay here with another family who were visiting from the UK and we couldn't have picked a better spot. Plenty of outdoor space for cricket games and football (soccer & AFL) matches. The kids loved the pool and we also went to the beach which was not too far away. What a relaxing and fun few days."

  • "We had a wonderful weekend. The setting was perfect and the house was spacious and very well equipped. The kids loved collecting the eggs each morning, swimming in the pool and the family cricket match. We went to Cafe Bella for dinner one night and this was also excellent. Thank you very much."

  • "I recently spent a wonderful weekend at Melross and without reservation would recommend it to anyone. I booked both the Rye House and the Millett House so that I and a group of close friends could get together and help me celebrate my 40th birthday. The weekend was a chance for us to get away together as a group and relax from our busy lives in the city in different surroundings. Both houses are extremely well appointed and have a warm, comfortable and relaxed feel to them. We were able to wonder around the property or unwind around the verandah during the day and relax by the open fire indoor at night. Preparing meals together, which was so easy in the generously appointed combined kitchen eating areas. There are wonderfully large bedrooms and heaps of comfortable beds throughout. Plenty of bathrooms, laundry facilities - its got it all. All this in a picture perfect farm setting in the beautiful Kangaroo Valley. To cap the weekend off we had a wonderful three course sit down dinner prepared by a local caterer, which was an excellent way to celebrate my birthday. I am glad that I decided to book Melross for my birthday celebrations. It will be one I'll always remember. "
