RESORT RUFFY OVERVIEW

"Resort Ruffy" is a single building clad with dark grey corrugated iron ensuring it disappears into the landscape.

One end is a very comfortable “Cottage” with an enormous kitchen / lounge room / dining area adequate for lots of visitors.

The other end is a five bedroom very comfortable “Bunkhouse”.

In between and still under the same roof line is “The Old Hut”, the original building on the property when we acquired it. We use it as a kids play room, however it would suit as a breakout/meeting room.

“The Shower Shed” is another original shed that has been incorporated into the new building. It contains a shower, basin and washing machine.

“The Deck” is a huge open area between “The Cottage” and “The Bunkhouse” ideal for outside enjoyment with excellent BBQ facilities adjacent to an outdoor sink plus stunning views over the Strathbogie Ranges towards Mt Wombat. 

Camp Ruffy sleeps 21 people in 15 beds/bunks across 6 rooms

• Ideal for weekend/midweek family functions, weddings (magic photographic opportunities amongst the boulders in our High Country - need 4wd), corporate team building/planning retreats, church, school and club getaways without the costs involved in commercial venues.

• Very remote however only 18 k’s from the Hume Freeway and accessible by any vehicle including a coach

• Very remote and off grid with batteries powered by solar, hydro and generator on 140 very private acres

• Terrific bush walking or 4wd on well-defined tracks through rigged granite country with plenty of wildlife.

• Experience the most magnificent sunrise and sunsets and a sky full of stars all night. Bring your torches for night time wildlife spotting. Wombats are particularly active within metres of your accommodation, but please look and do not hinder. They are relatively safe critters but don’t stand in the way, or you will likely be bowled over.
