Aruna Estate offers a cracking bush escape, just 90 minutes from Sydney or Canberra. You'll find four luxury eco-villas and two off-grid cabins, all designed for a top-notch getaway. They run sheep and have a commercial no-till regenerative garden, which they tend to with local legends, Two Birds Farm. Guests really get stuck into the farm experience here. There's loads to do, like hiking and biking through the State Forest, or chilling out by Paddy's River. If you're after something more active, they've got a swimming pool and a tennis court too. People absolutely rave about the place. One guest from Sydney, Dan, said the cabin was "beautiful" and loved the welcome basket. Another guest, Kurt, also from Sydney, couldn't stop talking about the food and wine, the freshly squeezed orange juice, and even the room spray. They also appreciated meeting the local bakery and butcher folks. It sounds like Aruna Estate goes the extra mile, offering things like magazines, bikes, a yoga deck, and even yummy jam. The fire pit gets a mention too. It's clear guests love the personal touch and feeling so welcome. If you're looking for a peaceful escape in the Southern Highlands, Aruna Estate looks like the real deal.
