Spring Playlist Release

Sounds of Sunshine at Kangaroo Ridge Retreat

At Kangaroo Ridge Retreat, spring is a season we love to savour. Rather than rushing to release our seasonal playlist, we take our time, allowing the landscape to unfold and the rhythm of the season to reveal itself. Now, with the blooms out in force and the valley bursting with life, we’re ready to share the perfect soundtrack for your spring stay with us.

Our 2024 Spring Playlist has been carefully curated to match the vibrant energy of the season—capturing those moments when the sun is shining bright, and everything feels in harmony with nature.
