Ripples On The Creek

Ripples on the Creek is an idyllic retreat where you can simply relax, breathe in the fresh air, and savour the sights and sounds of nature’s ambience and offers a distinctive blend of exceptional dining and luxury accommodation, amid a picturesque rural backdrop. Ripples on the Creek is an 100 acre property consisting of a restaurant and 2 creekside cabins. Set at the foothills of the Border Ranges National Park, Ripples on the Creek is just 2 hours south of Brisbane, and 20 minutes north of the local township of Kyogle - known as the ‘Gateway to the Rainforests’.

The Creek

Ripples (as locals know it) is owned by Victor and Cherie Rixon and John and Cathy Warburton. They purchased the business in November, 2010 when it came on the market. They thought it had a lot of potential and since taking over ownership, have made numerous improvements, not only to the property, but to the marketing and business management side of it.

The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, with a covered verandah 'where you can take in the pleasures in the wonderful view of the surrounding countryside.' The menu offers breakfast, lunch and dinner, with kid's meals available. If you wish to view their delicious menu visit their website www.ripplesonthecreek.com.au

The cabins provide the prefect romantic getaway. They include a private outdoor spa, a fireplace (perfect for the coming cooler weather), air conditioning, a kitchenetter, outdoor BBQ, and a modern bathroom (my tip - make sure to check out the shower heads). All bookings include a continental breakfast hamper for two.
