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, 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. If you don't feel like cooking, our talented local chef, Fiona, can always be arranged to prepare you a meal at The Rye House. 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 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).

  • "We had a great time at The Rye House. It is in a wonderful location, and has everything you could think of. "

  • "Once you drive through the gate to the Rye House the sense of peace and comfort envelopes you. The gardens are stunning, the views amazing,the beds are comfortable and the pool inviting. It is the perfect getaway to revitalise and regain your inner peace. Our extended family loved it and we will definitely return."

  • "Thank you for a wonderful weekend. The Rye House was more than comfortable - you thought of everything. Thoughtfully and well-planned accommodation in a magical setting."

  • "We've just returned from a fantastic week's stay at The Rye House. John and Louise were wonderful hosts and made our stay as easy as possible suggesting many great trips, walking trails and other things to do. The house and grounds themselves are top shelf and provide loads of space for the kids to run around and enjoy all those things they are restricted from doing in the City. The location is perfect - a short drive over hilltop roads to the beach but providing far more space and value for money than properties nearer the beach do. We'll be back..."

  • "I was really impressed with the property. All the rooms were spacious, and the kitchen / lounge / dining area in particular were beautiful. The property surrounding the Melross is stunning. We had an excellent weekend, finding time for a dip in the pool (despite the rainy weather) and plenty of food and drink in the open plan ktichen dining area, followed by games aronud the fire. Would highly recommend this property. "

  • "We had an amazing time at Melross. Everything we could have possibly needed was thought of. It was clean and big and perfect for a weekend away with friends. I have recommended it to others and will continue to do so."

  • "Magical, peaceful, indulgent and superbly located property. We could not have asked for anything more! We took the grandparents and our 3 young children and we didn't leave the property almost the entire weekend - although we did force ourselves to leave to wander through the main street of majestic Kangaroo Valley and check out Tallowa Dam. The weather was divine, the pool well used and everything we needed to prepare for our in-house dinner party was catered for! Complimentary fresh eggs, herbs, lemons and a lovely bottle of wine were the icing on the cake! The kids had a true country farm experience by collecting fresh hen eggs, bottlefeeding a 6 day old calf and strolling down the country lanes, over creeks and a garden easter egg hunt. Thank you for creating such a magnificent holiday venue - we had to drag the grandparents out kicking and screaming. Already planning our next visit but it will for 7 days next time! "
