Three country houses, one spectacular setting. Take over the entire Rangers Ranch estate, with 360-degree views across Kangaroo Valley, open fireplaces, indoor and outdoor baths and room for 14 guests. Think long lunches, fireside evenings and slow mornings in Cultiver linen, with Georg Jensen and Sabre tableware and Bose sound throughout. All this, and you’re an easy walk from the village.
Welcome to Rangers Ranch, a collection of three character-filled country houses in Barrengarry, on the edge of Kangaroo Valley village.
Sleeping up to 14 guests, the estate has been thoughtfully brought together for families, groups of friends and wedding parties who want to share a weekend without necessarily sharing every moment of it.
Wake up slowly, wander between cottages for coffee, spend the afternoon exploring the valley and come together for dinner at the farmhouse. Or don’t leave the property at all.
The Farm House
Four bedrooms · Sleeps 8
The heart of the ranch. A generous old country farmhouse with four bedrooms, expansive verandahs and beautiful views across the mountains and surrounding farmland.
Inside, traditional farmhouse character sits comfortably alongside considered contemporary details. There are generous spaces for cooking, eating and spending time together, a well-appointed kitchen and an open fireplace for those cooler country evenings.
Outside, the verandahs and outdoor dining areas are made for long lunches, afternoon drinks and watching the light change over the valley.
With room for eight, it’s where everyone can gather before retreating to their own corners of the property.
The Garden Studio
King bed + pull-out sofa · Sleeps 4
A little sanctuary in the garden, with a king bed, open fireplace and both indoor and outdoor baths.
The sort of place where you might disappear for an afternoon with a book, put another log on the fire or spend an unreasonable amount of time in the bath.
Beautifully considered interiors and views across the surrounding countryside make it a lovely retreat for a couple. There’s also a pull-out sofa bed, allowing the studio to accommodate up to four guests.
The Back Hut
Queen bed · Sleeps 2
A romantic little cottage with the spirit of an early Australian settler’s home and some rather lovely modern comforts.
Think antique fittings, pull-chain lights, a traditional open fireplace and an old-fashioned claw-foot bath. Outside, another bath awaits, surrounded by the dramatic mountains and farmland of Kangaroo Valley.
With just one queen bed, The Back Hut is a wonderful escape for two, full of character and just the right amount of nostalgia.
The finer things
We’ve always believed a country escape should feel a little indulgent without being too precious.
Across all three residences, you’ll find Cultiver bedding, Georg Jensen and Sabre tableware, Bose sound systems, thoughtfully appointed kitchens and carefully selected furnishings.
Each house has its own open fireplace, while both The Garden Studio and The Back Hut have indoor and outdoor baths.
Good linen, a proper dinner, a fire on a cool evening and a bath with a view. Sometimes that’s all you need.
360 degrees of countryside
The views here are something else. Mountains, rolling farmland and big country skies in every direction, with the landscape changing colour throughout the day.
Start the morning with coffee on the verandah, spend an afternoon in the sunshine and gather around the fire when the temperature drops.
Despite feeling a world away, Rangers Ranch is within walking distance of Kangaroo Valley village. Wander in for morning coffee and freshly baked bread, explore the little shops or settle in for a long lunch at the pub.
For those who like a little adventure between baths, there are spectacular waterfalls, swimming holes, bushwalks and scenic country drives nearby.
Come together, spread out
Rangers Ranch works particularly well for groups who want to spend time together while still having somewhere private to retreat.
The Farm House provides a natural gathering place, while the two smaller cottages give couples and families their own space, bathrooms and living areas.
Whether you’re getting everyone together for a wedding at Wildwood or one of the valley’s other beautiful venues, celebrating something special or simply escaping Sydney for a few days, the entire property is yours to enjoy.
