There are 3 resident cats and a friendly miniature schnauzer dog named Maverick. Your privacy is my priority, so please make yourselves at home & enjoy your stay. The animals are very friendly and love to say hello to guests.
In addition to hosting, I am also a registered marriage celebrant and can provide intimate ceremonies for guests who wish to elope, renew their vows, or celebrate a special occasion during their stay. Ceremonies are small, personal and tailored to you, making use of the beautiful surroundings here at Rose Ridge Retreat. If this is something you would like to explore, please feel free to reach out for more details.
