The Bread... and not a bad spot!!
Loved the space at The Ridge.
The peace was fantastic and John was lovely.
Get the bread if you have the chance and enjoy it warm in the morning sun.
Lovely little walks and not far from Canberra so was a great place to stop.
Will def be back and bring the Defender for John!
Cheers Paul and Eisha.

Goatville
Pippa and John made us feel super welcome. It was not just a camping site, everything about the stay was warm and welcoming. From the fresh warm bread, to the carton of eggs, the goat walk and the chats, everything was incredible and we will definitely be returning.

The best bread!
There’s plenty of lovely things to say about this place, which I have done in a previous review. But a highlight is the homemade bread they make! Phenomenal! Make sure you get some - it’s well worth it

Paradise
A beautiful piece of paradise. View of subalpine terrain was amazing with splendid sunsets and wonderful star shows. Abundant bird life and spoiled with nightly visits from gang gang cockatoos. The built in fire pit was well used and perfect. John and Pippa were generous hosts. Highlight was a walk with John and the goats who were cheeky and adorable. We also booked the fresh bread option and weren’t disappointed - YUM!

All that Gubbins
“All that Gubbins”
This is the favourite saying of ex-pat British owner John of the property.I’d never heard it before but I came to decide he meant “what you can leave behind.” The campsite offered is exactly where you can leave all that gubbins behind you and just bask in the magnificence of the area. The campsite sits 500m from the main house on a gently sloping hill with an enormous view of the heavens at night. The surrounding grasslands and gum forests fade off into the distance during the day. $30 a day is a fair price for the hill, fireplace and wood and Pippa’s home made soy and linseed bread for $6 is a good as you will get in any artisan bakery. I recommend a 3 - 5 day stay to let the place sink in. The nearest town of Bungendore can cater to most needs and is 20 minutes away.
Your mornings will start with Kookaburras, Magpies, Crimson Rosellas and Gang Gang Cockatoos.
Morning walks with John are always accompanied by his band of merry, well fed goats, and always a pleasant experience. The goats may rule the paddocks this is really wombat country. Wombats bellies flatten out everything they touch, their presence is everywhere in the form of wombat trails through the grass, shrubs and hills with tunnels and pathways.
Red robins make an appearance around morning tea until lunchtime.
Later in the afternoon little yellow and brown thornbills will hop through the grass while others chirrup merrily in the surrounding trees. The morning chorus
