    Many thanks for your fantastic review of Ridge's Retreat. The upgraded bar and lounge rooms at Ashbury Resort are a big plus! Also, the improvements to both the craft centre and indoor sports courts. The new golf simulator facility is a welcome addition too. You have access to all the activities at The Manor as well, but it's great to have these on site. We're delighted that you'll be returning again! Property Owner
