A special place

We enjoyed our 2 night stay in Possumbrook Cottage. The cottage was spotless and comfortable, and Dee was generous with her time and provisions in the cottage. The location is beautiful and peaceful and it was very special to visit several platypus after dark. Thanks Dee for a wonderful stay.

A wonderful experience in a wonderful place! We’ve been here a month while moving and loved it! The brook, the cottage, Dee’s friendly hosting and the garden are all just what we needed. Truly beautiful and calming surrounds and a lovely seat by the fire.The cottage has full facilities with an excellent kitchen and everything to let us get on with daily life while staying. Check-in was smooth and welcoming with nothing too much trouble. Highly recommended!PS - the most dog friendly place ever, even for our large and rambunctious girl.

Absolutely best place we could have booked for a family holiday! Dee was absolutely lovely and her idealic property, with wildlife and farm animals was just magical. The house was cozy and clean. I will never forget watching the platypus play at night or watching my kids fall in love with Poppet, the baby cow. I hope we can come back one day.

Check in we were told what we can and cant do which I understand but this I'd never experienced, told the wood for the fire is expensive try not to have a fire. The house is straight out of the 70s, dark interiors made the place feel depressing. Nik naks everywhere, bathroom sink and unit smelt damp, We couldnt wait to leave.The only positive was that dogs were allowed.

Tranquil Setting

This cottage was in a beautiful place, very peaceful and perfect for getting away from the business of suburban life. The host was very friendly and helpful and supplied an abundance of refreshments. It was close to the attractions of the south of Tasmania and the cottage had all the facilities to allow for a comfortable stay.
