What our guests say:

Spent a long weekend in Suite Two and loved every minute of it — the fixtures, the garden, the breakfast, all five-star.

February 2021

What our guests say:

Dinner here is genuinely unlike anywhere else — close to flawless. Local produce turned into inventive, seriously tasty dishes, backed by outstanding service. And that cheesecake might just be the best we’ve ever had.!

What our guests say:

Cedar Ridge House is a genuine find on Victoria’s south-west coast… every detail was spot on. Dinner is an experience in itself — don’t skip it. Cedar Ridge House is an absolute must — we’re already planning our next stay.”

May 2024

What our guests say:

What a fantastic find — the room was gorgeous, thoughtfully designed and wonderfully calm. The owners and team were friendly and went out of their way to help. Dinner was excellent — beautifully cooked, with an interesting wine list and plenty of great by-the-glass options.
