Ben Ricketts Environmental Preserve

Southern Alps Ski Club and S.A.S.C. Lodge Co-Op jointly hold one share in the Ben Ricketts Environmental Preserve.

Ben Ricketts shareholders are dedicated to conserving the unique plant & animal biodiversity of the Illawarra escarpment and providing affordable holiday accommodation to families, groups and individuals

There are three fully equipped cabins available for holiday rental. Nestled in a quiet haven of the Illawarra escarpment rainforest, the 40 hectare property is an enjoyable, peaceful place for individuals, families and groups to relax completely.

Mainly covered in rainforest vegetation with creeks, glades and open paddocks, Ben Ricketts is home to echidnas, wombats, swamp wallabies, greater gliders and a great variety of birds. Listen to the lyrebirds, bowerbirds, catbirds, whipbirds and sugar gliders.

Five friendly goats and a contented cow graze the grassed areas of the property. Nine chooks free range the paddocks and lay fresh eggs daily.

 S.A.S.C. Members are allowed to book at the advertised shareholder rates (see www.benricketts.org.au).
