Great holiday place for family

Great family retreat place and it was maintained very clean and tidy.
The kids enjoyed the pool, though a bit too small for teens. There's also tennis court and playroom. A lot of options to keep the kids busy during the stay. Will definitely come back in the future!
PS. The only short side is the WIFI - might be great for someone who wants to escape from the busy daily life and have a quiet time with family.

A nice retreat

We enjoyed our days at Possums Hideaway. The grounds are lovely with a convenient tennis court, grass for kicking a ball, BBQ facilities and a pool. The only downside is that there is no wifi. However, the staff were very accommodating in helping out my son who had to attend a zoom tutorial with his uni class while we were there.

Relax and enjoy!

We were late for our check-in, a system was set up for late arrivals which was easy to follow. The accomodation was set up warm for us as it was -2 when we arrived.

The rooms were equipped with essentials with a free bag of marshmallow for us to enjoy with the camp fire. Spacious room for group of friends or just family.

Robyn the business owner was friendly and warm, she gave us information on the nearby activities. Recommended for the tree house next time.

We enjoyed our stay and will 100% be coming back.

Impeccably clean, so inviting and perfect family accommodation

We booked the Laurel Lodge for 2 mums and 2 daughters for a Blue Mountains getaway. On arrival we were warmly greeted by the delightful Jess who checked us in. Our lodge was impeccably clean with everything supplied that we needed for a couple of days, including a bag of marshmallows. In the evening the large fire pit was ours to sing songs and roast marshmallows, we then had a fun game of pool in the poolroom, topped off with a 9pm mid-winter swim in the indoor heated pool. The stay was absolutely perfect. Thank you so much for providing such excellent facilities!

Perfect for couples to spend some Romantic time

The cabin was close-knit cute one with a fire place inside which really kept the room warm and all you need to cuddle and get cosy with your partner. A jacuzzi with candles was cherry on the top. Privacy to spend time in your own cabin amidst the nature in that small cabin. There were dvds provided to just sit relax and watch some nice movie sipping drinks and laying in bed. A kitchen to prepare food. It was indeed one of the most romantic experiences I’ve ever had and would recommend my friends definitely. It was a break that all me and my partner needed away from the city.

Perfect place for an overnight stay for our recent trip to the mountains. As soon as we arrived, we regretted only staying for 1 night. The cottage is neat and tidy, with plenty of space in the living room for our family of 3. The outdoor area is neatly kept and with plenty for families to be kept busy. Best of all, the place was incredibly quiet, even though there were other families staying near us. Will definitely stay there again for our next mountain trip.

Great romantic getaway

Celebrating our anniversary - this is a great place to escape sydney. The possums cabin was super cool and romantic with log fire, circular design of the room, fully ementies for cooking yourself with fridge too. Plus the spa bath was an added bonus and they also had a large LCD with DVD player and loads of DVD’s to choose from. We loved it. So many personal touches too and staff super friendly. The cabins are a bit close to really be private enough but didn’t spoil our time! 5 stars!!

Great woodland resort

Lovely friendly reception on check in & check out, with good knowledge of area & were able to answer all our questions.
The cottage was perfect for our 5 night Blue Mountains getaway, will definitely go back & try the couples retreats.
The rooms were all lovely & clean, especially loved the fire on the 2 colder nights that we were there!
The cottage was well equipped, just a few things extra would have been better & some of the items were a bit tired but nothing that affected our stay.

Spacious room - lovely location

Great value for money. Spacious room in a beautiful location. My family enjoyed staying there for two nights.
My only criticism is their unusual house keeping policy. They don’t give you fresh towels, clean the rooms daily or take out the garbage. Found that s bit odd for the way it was presented.
