escape to the bush

ARUNA Estate is a rural retreat, offering guests a complete escape from the everyday. Just 90 minutes from Sydney or Canberra, guests can choose from four architecturally designed luxury eco-villas, two cosy environmentally friendly off-grid cabins, or the Residence, featuring both a King and Queen room, for the perfect getaway.

ARUNA runs sheep and is home to a commercial ‘no till regenerative’ garden, in partnership with local small-scale farmers, Two Birds Farm. We celebrate all things natural and local.

Set amongst a backdrop of Australian native bushland and nestled in a private valley, ARUNA boasts easy access to the hiking and biking trails of the State Forest, Paddy’s River frontage, with tranquil meditation decks as well as a swimming pool and tennis court.

The Southern Highlands’ newest retreat is now open, we want you to fall in love with ARUNA Estate as much as we have!

“We had a lovely stay at Cassia and a rejuvenating weekend at Aruna. Thank you so so much for your attention to detail throughout our booking and stay. We LOVED all of the food and wine provided. Thank you for the delicious freshly squeezed orange juice! We enjoyed meeting the bakery folks and the butcher. They both remarked how much they enjoy doing business with Aruna people 🙂 A few details I appreciated, the labels! It took the tiring decision making out of figure out everything! The room spray in the bathroom is awesome, as are the bathroom products!

I loved that you had magazines and the diversity of them. There are too many delights to detail… the animals, the garden produce, the bikes, the yoga deck, yummy jam… the fire pit. Mostly, we felt so welcome by both of you, that was the best of all.

Thank you again and we can’t wait to come again soon!”
