“Stepping into this castle feels like a journey back to 1925, a truly distinctive escape nestled within the serene landscape of Ringwood State Forest. The morning breakfast, prepared by Billy, is a highlight, served in a grand dining room or on the terrace when weather permits. Its grounds, an extension of a botanical garden, offer a peaceful natural retreat, though dining out requires a short drive.”
