Gus - March 2024

Had a fantastic time at Camp Ruffy, the owners are lovely people and very helpful, great space for bigger groups with lots of places to sit as well as a pool with a beautiful view, I will definitely be rebooking this for my friends and I.

Jessica - March 2024

We had a fantastic stay here for our family reunion. The property is well-thought-out with absolutely everything you need. We loved the pool, the outdoor area and exploring around the property. The view looking out across the valley in the morning was just astounding!

Thanks so much Roger and Christine for having us. We loved your property, and we’re so impressed by what you have done with it! Everyone enjoyed the thoughtfulness of the notes around the house. It’s a fantastic set up.

Jenni - January 2024

Hi Roger and Christine we’ve arrived. The place is so special - everything is perfect. Thank you so much.

A really special place with beautiful, breathtaking surroundings. We all felt comfortable in the space. Roger and Christine are very good hosts and communication was clear, thorough and quick. We would highly recommend the place to anyone wanting a peaceful stay with friends or family.

Cecile - January 2024

Amazing place with the most beautiful view and so relaxing !! Extremely well-equipped too!, and full pantry, paradise for kids and adults!!

Stefan - December 2023

Roger and Christine, thank you very much for your hospitality. The place was wonderful and everyone loved the experience. We enjoyed it, and it was the best opportunity to get away for a little while and enjoy the peace and relaxation.

Sarah - December 2023

This property was beautiful, spacious and exactly what we needed for our weekend away. The space is so much bigger than it looks in the pictures, which was perfect for our bigger group. The hosts were extremely informative about the property and everything was labelled, which really helped! Would 100% stay here again and again!

David - November 2023

Great spot! Views and location are sensational. Comfy beds.

Linda - November 2023

My extended family had the most wonderful weekend at Camp Ruffy! Everything you could possibly need was provided, and really helpful information made using the amenities a breeze. The peaceful and stunning surroundings were just what we needed to relax and connect with one another. Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us! We can’t wait to come back.

Samuel - November 2023

Nice accommodation with all the amenities. Had a great time. Thanks.

Kim - October 2023

Awesome place. Travelled with a soccer team and the boys loved the property. Plenty of space to play and explore. Boys love discovering all the animals (domestic and native). Loads of space inside and out. Would definitely recommend, and will book again.

Your place was awesome. Better than photos. Team and carers loved this place.

Kristen - September 2023

We had an extended family of 16 staying, including 3 under 3, and it was perfect - enough bedrooms, playrooms (my god, the playroom!!) and space for everyone to not feel on top of one another. The kitchen was exceptional, and the whole building had a cozy, family friendly vibe. The grounds were amazing and immaculately kept. Would definitely stay again and recommend for large family groups wanting a break from the city. Roger was very responsive to one contact over the weekend and prior to our stay. Consideration and signage regarding the risks a country property could face eg. bushfire, snake encounters etc. Overall a fantastic property, very professionally managed.

Lisa - August 2023

Had an amazing weekend with 15 friends at Camp Ruffy. Very spacious and well-equipped kitchen. The view is picture-perfect, although photos do not do it justice. Beautiful home and a great place to come with friends and /or family. A lot of wildlife and a very peaceful and private place. Would totally recommend it!!

Lisa - August 2023

OMG, what a place!!! And the view!! Will be a great weekend.

Jaskaran - July 2023

The property was very nice and cool place to live in. It was full privacy with clear instructions. Beautiful surroundings, I will highly recommend.

Mikki - June 2023

We had an amazing 3 day stay with our family of 20 to celebrate a 70th and 3rd birthdays. The kid's play room was an absolutely fantastic bonus, as they spent most of the time in there, when we were not out exploring. Thank you for a wonderful time. We would certainly consider coming back for some more RnR.

Naresh - March 2023

Excellent place for a weekend getaway. Had an absolute quality time spent with friends and family. It was very well organised for us. Thanks so much for your hospitality and your immediate response when needed. Definitely would recommend to other friends and family.

Sarah - February 2023

We has an excellent weekend at Camp Ruffy. Was perfect for kids and relaxing for adults.

Naveen - January 2023

My family, friends, and I had a wonderful time on the night of the new year. We adored the location. The kids' area changed the game since it was filled with treats and kept the youngsters busy. Fantastic setting and amazing view. "Flies" were a problem for us, but Roger set up a fly trap for us, which was really helpful. Everything was really professional and looked just as it did in the pictures. If you want to spend time with a large group of your own gang, I would highly recommend going here.

Kasun - December 2022

It was a well spent holiday at Camp Ruffy. The place was just as in the pictures. Quite spacious for a large group of people and the mesmerising view added to a perfect holiday. The place was very well organised with clear instructions and well supplied with all needs. We really enjoyed our stay and experienced the real feeling of a countryside. We would definitely recommend this place as a great holiday stay for ones who love a peaceful and a relaxing holiday with friends and family. Thank you so much.. 10/10.

Lachlan - December 2022

Phenomenal property, especially for a large group. The view from the pool and undercover area is amazing, you’ll never get tired of it. Kitchen had everything you could ever need in it and ample crockery to cater for large groups. 10/10

Matthew - November 2022

Roger & Christine, Thank you so much for our marvellous stay. We were so grateful for what you have provided - the place is serene and wonderfully peaceful. We were in awe of your attention to detail and hospitality - we were humbled. Thank you, thank you, thank you 😊

Christine & Jamie October 2022

My extended family enjoyed a wonderful experience at Camp Ruffy. The property is off the scale beautiful with its views and complete farm experience. The house has it all, the kitchen and living areas are all open and very well equipped. There is even a playroom for the little kids and a swimming pool for the warmer days. The house is super clean and there is nothing extra this property requires except its guests. Thank you Roger & Chris. We will be back…….

Jonathan - June 2022

Stunning country property truly off the grid and a perfect destination to escape and enjoy pure quietness and a night sky. Also one of the most stunning views of the hills out the back. Well equipped and nicely maintained, couldn't ask for much more if you wanted to get a way with a group. I thought the photos didn't do it justice.

Lewis - February 2022

Camp Ruffy is as advertised, an off the grid experience with a beautiful view and fun pool. We had a blast.

Madeline - February 2022

A great place to go with a bunch of friends. Everything you need is at Camp Ruffy - just show up with your togs and your mates and have a good time. 10/10 weekend, would be back in a heartbeat.

'Thanks for a great time Roger! The most perfect weekend. Appreciate it :)'

 

Stacey - January 2022

Everything was as expected, kitchen was extremely well stocked, the pool was a huge hit with our group, Roger was very communicative. The scenery around the property is stunning.

 

Mel - January 2022

Our whole family felt so at home during our stay at Camp Ruffy. There was so much to do for all aged 1 to 65! Everything we needed, and more, was all provided. Roger, the host, was fantastic to communicate with. We hope to visit again, still so much left to explore.

David - January 2022

Camp Ruffy is an amazing stay with plenty of space, a great pool and amazing views of the rolling countryside that comfortably fits large groups. Roger and Christine were generous hosts who provided substantially more than the basic amount of food and supplies. They were also very quick to respond to any questions we had whilst also giving us full privacy.

Anthony - January 2022

Camp Ruffy was a fantastic holiday stay, our children loved the toy room and enjoyed the pool. The view was amazing and perfect outdoor area to sit with the family and enjoy Ruffy

Jacki - December 2021

We stayed at Camp Ruffy for our family Christmas. There was plenty of space for 6 adults and 5 children (8yrs to 10yrs). The kitchen had everything we needed, heaps of crockery/cutlery, huge fridge with second fridge available in play room. The play room was kid heaven and between that and the pool kept our kids busy. No Vodafone reception but Telstra reception was fine. Some lovely bushwalks around the property. House was very clean. I would definitely recommend staying at Camp Ruffy.

Jim - December 2021

“Wow! Such an amazing property and it would be perfect for any occasion! The house layout is excellent and the heated pool just topped it off. Roger was very easy to deal with and I highly recommend Camp Ruffy!”

Alex - November 2021

“We live just up the road from this place, and rented it out so guests could have a place to stay for a significant birthday (at our place). By all accounts fantastic pool and facilities and can host a lot of people.”

Sarah - November 2021

“We had a truly fabulous 3 night stay at Camp Ruffy. It exceeded our expectations. The space for our large group was perfect and all of the kids thoroughly enjoyed the kids play room, the pool, exploring the huge property and wildlife and collecting eggs from the chickens. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need plus more - incredibly well stocked! Lots of beds and a great linen closet with ample linen and towels. Bunk bedrooms were a little tight but it certainly didn't matter as only used them for sleep as there were so many other great areas to be in. Roger and Christine were lovely to deal with, quick to respond and very helpful. It even included Christine having to make a trip out to us - however, never made us feel like it was too much. The views all around us were sensational and evenings by the fire pit were a perfect end to the day. Highly recommend!”

Re-opened on Melbourne Cup Long Weekend after
8 months of Covid closure!

Marie - February 2021

“Great location for a family getaway. Kids loved the pool and the playroom.”

Linh - February 2021

'The resort is much better than we expected. The space is massive, there is even kids play room. We stayed for 2 nights but still not enough to enjoy the whole area. Roger and Christine are super nice and helpful. Will definitely come back and introduce to friends. Thank you so much for everything. Will definitely come back.”

Luke - January 2021

'This place is amazing. 11 adults and 10 kids from ages 6 months to 8 years old all enjoyed a fantastic 5 nights at Camp Ruffy. The swimming pool, outdoor dining / living area, playroom, kitchen are awesome. The place is extremely well stocked with all supplies. From towels, to glasses, cutlery and toys. The scenery is beautiful and there is wildlife that just adds another element to Ruffy that makes the place special. You won't be disappointed if you book Camp Ruffy'

Cathie - December 2020

'Our extended family of 18 had the most wonderful 4 day Christmas at Camp Ruffy. Roger and Christine are the most wonderful hosts providing all information and answers to questions whilst ensuring privacy and independence on their incredible property. The house and surrounds ensure you have everything and more to enjoy a holiday at anytime of the year. Our family enjoyed pool volleyball, Kubb on the front lawn, family movies one evening, games, music and even dancing with “disco lights” to add ambience. The sunrise and sunsets are beautiful and the view to die for. Look out for koalas, echidnas and wallabies, all of which we spotted. The kitchen is equipped way beyond our expectations with brand new high quality appliances. Oven is on the small side which is worth noting if you plan to cook for a crowd, although there is a large BBQ. If getting away from it all whilst having all the comforts of home (and more) appeal to you, then do not hesitate to book Camp Ruffy- you won’t regret it!'

Kylie - February 2020

Perfect for group getaways. Everything is just right. The house is so well equipped, they really have thought of everything. It’s the little touches that make the difference between a good house and a great house. Private and peaceful. Will def be back.

Eli - January 2020

This place is magnificent, thanks for letting us stay.

Rhodri - January 2020

Fantastic property for large groups of friends or family to enjoy a fun rural retreat, you won't want to leave. Everything has been thought of and I cant imagine anyone ever being disappointed having stayed here. Highly recommended

Rhodri - January 2020

A few of us have just arrived and we are so impressed with your property. It's a beautiful house and location. Thank you for sharing it with us. 

Richard - January 2020

We have just spent three nights at Camp Ruffy. It is an amazing place ideal for a large family/social group and it was obvious the owners enjoy looking after it. We found Camp Ruffy super clean, great facilities, kitchen equipped with quality appliances, plenty of room indoor and out, fantastic part shaded swimming pool, children's play room full of toys, local wildlife, great views, nature walks and more.

Hayley - January 2020

Roger’s place is beautiful - stunning view and great amenities! Can’t wait to come back next year.

Matt - November 2019

Camp Ruffy was incredible. We were so impressed with the property and found it to be much better than we expected. The care that Roger has taken in creating Camp Ruffy is so apparent in even the minor details. The beds were very comfortable and the place was very clean as well. The pool was fantastic and the outdoor spaces were perfect for BBQs etc. Thanks for a lovely stay, would definitely stay here again.

Julian - November 2019

Camp Ruffy is surrounded by beautiful, relatively untouched countryside. The lodge is very spacious and also has a kids area. Amenities include every herb you could possibly think of wanting to use for cooking. We all had a great time there and highly recommend Camp Ruffy as a laid back, no nonsense place for groups to gather, with everything you could possibly need on hand.

Conrad - November 2019

Incredible location and house/camp, beautiful views of the Strathbogie ranges. Weather wasn’t quite warm enough for the pool but that looked really nice too. Great for large groups as there’s plenty of towels and sheets and plates etc for everyone.

Brooke - October 2019

Amazing!!! Such a beautiful place and amazing owners.

Deepak - September 2019

Camp Ruffy, is a fantastic place for a small family group , it’s surrounded by beautiful mountains.the area is super clean and the kitchen, living, bedrooms are equipped with high class fittings . Roger is so kind and friendly and always available with prompt responses. We are planning for a second trip soon back to Camp Ruffy, Thanks heaps Roger!! Cheers Deep.

Elise - September 2019

We stayed at Camp Ruffy over a weekend to celebrate my 30th birthday and absolutely LOVED our stay. The house is set out beautifully, with all the amenities and many thoughtful touches (eggs in the fridge, coffee machine, bathroom staples, hair dryer, supplies in case you forgot something). It was warm inside, with two fantastic indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces, an outside BBQ in a perfect place with a stunning view for a lunch. The rooms were clean, the many beds were generously made up with sheets and towels, and the two bathrooms managed to clean us all! Roger and Christine were incredibly helpful during the check in process, easy to contact, and lovely people. Camp Ruffy is gorgeous. We will be returning for the many adventures to be had over the property that we didn’t have time for this time!

Joshua - September 2019

Camp Ruffy is an amazing place. so peaceful, its a fantastic place to just get away and relax! There is so many things to see on Rogers stunning property. its a home away from home, Highly recommended. Roger and his lovely wife Chris are very welcoming. we had an amazing time. I will return!

Elliott - November 2019

Roger's place is really big and easily accommodated a large group. Kitchen is stocked with everything you could need and more. Really clean as well. Views are outstanding and lots of walks nearby. We had a great time and definitely recommend.
