GLOUCESTER

"It is altogether a beautiful spot in the wilderness"

Gloucester, known as the gateway to the Barrington Tops, is a charming country town nestled in a valley under a range of hills known as The Bucketts. It is a town located in a valley of surpassing loveliness.  A range of picturesque mountains, called by the aborigines, the Buccans, of about 365 metres in height, bounds the horizon to the westward.  Along the base of these mountains, the River Gloucester wends its way to the northward, before joining the Barrington River.

Gloucester is the closest town to the World Heritage listed Barrington Tops.   The town offers numerous cafes, restaurants, clubs, shops, park and sporting facilities for you to enjoy.

The region is renowned for its scenic beauty as well outdoor adventure activities including, bush-walking, 4WD trails, kayaking, fishing, bird-watching, abseiling, mountain biking and much more.... 

Our Commitment to You, our Community and our Environment

We believe that genuine hospitality begins with honesty.  Our 40 hectare property and our accommodations provide our guests with off-grid luxury, and hopefully unforgettable personal and shared experiences. But it is also a working rural property with cattle, wildlife, unsealed roads, uneven terrain, and the issues that come with living alongside nature. 

That is why we have documented our property details and policies to help you decide if The Ridge is right for you, and to help you make the most of your stay once you arrive.

Please take a few moments to read our property information compendiums and the various policies and plans below. They are not barriers to your experience; they are our foundations for providing it to you.

  • Accommodation Compendiums – comprehensive guides covering house rules, appliance use, safety, and emergency procedures.

  • Regional Promotion – How we support local businesses, tourism groups (Barrington Coast, Gloucester Visitor Information Centre), and the MidCoast Destination Management Plan.  Our compendiums include information about local things to do, transport etc
