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.

The grounds were beautiful, our little cabin was far away from everything & everyone. We felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The rooms were lovely & clean all the little extras made it feel like home. There was nothing I could fault with anything...will visit again in the future...

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.

The cabin was very clean and comfortable and reception caring and polite. Would stay again, a cut above the other similar price properties in Blackheath or Megalong Valley. Have stayed in Blackheath and Megalong Valley at least once every year for the past 20 years.
