Our rates fluctuate based on seasonal demand throughout the year. Nightly rates range from $250 to $350.

We will often run promotions, giveaways and discounts which you will see on this website and our Instagram account (@candlebarkridge).

We provide a variety of essential pantry items such as Ritual ground coffee, assorted teas, hot chocolate, sugar, rice, pasta, granola, olive oil, salt, pepper, and a selection of herbs and spices. Additionally, guests have access to a Moccamaster drip coffee machine, an Arke carbonator, and supplies for crafting cocktails, including dried fruit garnishes.

Due to our remote location, we recommend preparing by purchasing supplies before reaching the nearby Hilly's IGA in Saint Marys. They provide a variety of locally sourced cheeses, cured meats, fresh fruits, vegetables, and gourmet ready-to-cook pizzas and bases. Additionally, the township features a fantastic local pub offering hearty meals every day of the week, along with various cafes and bakeries.

Due to the steep gradient of our driveway, access to the car park is via All-Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicles only.

Guests arriving in Two-Wheel Drive (2WD) vehicles will need to park at the top of driveway before the gates and take the rest of the journey on foot (around 50 metres to the flat carpark area) with their belongings.

The idea of our escape is to switch off and enjoy the peace and quiet, without relying heavily on technology. There is reasonable service for those with Telstra and Optus who wish to use cellular data for watching shows/movies on their handheld devices or laptops.

Please note, our accommodation is designed for adults only and reservations including individuals under 18 must be arranged in advance upon request.

Due to the steep and uneven nature of the land and the fact our property is unfenced, we do not accept bookings which include infants, children or pets.
