Greg - January 2025
Larger family gathering including 6 children from infants to 4 year olds. Terrific amenities for families and the pool was well used. We were able to sensibly use power to minimise reliance on the generator. Highly recommended. Lastly, you can really oversell the fantastic play room on your web site. it is traffic for young families. Thanks for having us. Everyone enjoyed it and we are seriously thinking of booking again for next year

My second time back! I love Camp Ruffy. It has it all - a pool, incredible views, and is fully equipped for a big group. Highly recommend this stay!
Carmilo - December 2024
Roger & Christine's place is by far the best place we have stayed in. We are hoping to make this an annual retreat, and everyone in the group completely agrees.
Leigh - November 2024
Absolute joy to spend time with family and friends at Camp Ruffy. The whole place was very well-equipped, clean and wonderfully maintained. The kids said the pool was great. 5 star and we hope to visit again.
Jarryd - October 2024
Amazing property for our family holiday. Thanks for sharing your property with us Roger. Enjoyed the stay!
Anneshka - October 2024
A fantastic place for friends and family to celebrate with food and wine. Many wonderful walks to burn a few calories. A very special spot.
Robert - August 2024
Great place to stay!
Verena - May 2024
Camp Ruffy provided the perfect setting for our rather large family by now, and without exception, they all appreciated the spacious place we could celebrate my 80th Birthday. Saturday, being such a sunny warm day, gave us some great opportunities for playing games and going for discovery walks

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.

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.

Everything was as expected, the 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 bush walks 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. Highly recommend!”
Re-opened on Melbourne Cup Long Weekend after 8 months of Covid closure!

“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 kid’s 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.

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
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.

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. The 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

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
