Private group escapes at Wollemi Ridge

Gather your people and experience the bush your way.

Our private bookings suit groups who want something more personal than a standard accommodation stay.

Ideal for:

  • Hens or bucks weekends

  • Family gatherings

  • Small group getaways

  • Wellness or creative retreats

If your group is looking for loud party energy, Wollemi Ridge may not be the right fit. Our space is designed for calm connection and respectful enjoyment of the bush.

  • Every private escape is shaped around your group’s needs. You can keep things simple with a self guided glamping stay, or work with us to build a more curated experience with guided activities and workshops.
