Set on 240 acres, Melross is widely considered to be one of Kangaroo Valley’s finest properties.

Originally a dairy farm, it is now a working cattle and quarter horse property and has been used as a horse-training venue for films, including Baz Luhrmann’s ‘Australia’.

It has featured in House & Garden magazine and was also used as the photography location for the Margaret Fulton Cookbook.

Melross offers two beautiful homes for holiday rental - The Rye House and The Millet House. The houses are set in separate locations on the property and each has its own picturesque gardens, swimming pool, well-equipped kitchen, spacious lounge area and open fire.

Horse riding is available for guests and the property includes a stunning walking trail.

Kangaroo Valley is an easy two-hour drive south of Sydney and offers many activities including canoeing, golf, tennis and mountain-bike riding. The charming Kangaroo Valley township is a five minute drive from Melross.
