The Riverside House is a contemporary country estate in the Southern Highlands, designed for families, friends and small groups who want to gather properly. Guests enjoy exclusive use of the home and grounds for the duration of their stay.

The Home

Seven bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms across the main residence and a separate guest house. The guest house offers privacy and flexibility, which works well for extended family, a bridal party or anyone wanting a little distance from the main house.

The main living space is open plan, with a chef's kitchen, dining and lounge areas beneath vaulted ceilings, a cosy fireplace and ducted heating and cooling throughout. Doors open onto the alfresco area so the indoor and outdoor spaces run together.

Outdoors

A 16 x 8 metre alfresco patio flows onto the lawn, with a fire pit, hot tub, four person sauna and lounge seating overlooking the surrounding farmland. For events, a 12 x 6 metre marquee can be installed on the deck, creating a lovely setting for long lunches, celebrations and intimate weddings. Larger marquee and tipi options are available on the lawns through our hire partners.

The Dam

Behind the house, a gravel walkway runs from the back lawn through a timber gate to a small lookout at the water's edge, with a fountain at the centre of the dam and views down the long lawn to the river and farmland beyond.

For weddings, this is our designated ceremony spot. Couples say their vows at the water's edge with the fountain behind them and lawn on either side for guests. It is also a lovely place for a morning coffee or an evening walk down to the water.
