Federation Gardens & Possums Hideaway

Extremely helpful and positive staff both in the booking process and onsite. The venue is well maintained and very peaceful surrounded by areas of bushland to explore. The accommodation is lovely with a small kitchen to self-cater. The gas heaters ensure warmth in the chilly winter months and the beds are very comfortable. The separate barbecue facilities are great for outdoor cooking, and the indoor campfire is a wonderful experience for a night-time treat!

From the moment I made the booking, Jess made us feel very welcome. 10 of us arrived at "The Cottage" with the fire already glowing and a bag of marshmallows and birthday gift as an unexpected but delightful surprise. With 8 adults and 2 kids, we had plenty of space to spread out. Being a big family of cooking enthusiasts, we took advantage of the well stocked kitchen and MASSIVE dinning table. With the cold dreary weather we were all kept thoroughly entertained with bush walks, LOTS of swims in the indoor pool and quite a few competitive games of table tennis. If the conditions were better, we would have sampled all the activities Possum Hideaway had to offer. It was so nice to be away from the touristy chaos of Echo Point and enjoy the peaceful nature the Blue Moumtains has to offer.

Been here before. With family, with my wife and this time working from the cottage, doing some research... Just an awesome place. Friendly staff, great surroundings and excellent value. Some great restaurants around, and some amazing walks. Will be back again. Just a beautiful spot...

From the warm welcome from Jess to the beautiful quiet comfort of the Yurt, we loved our mountain getaway! We had family staying in a cabin so enjoyed spending time with the children on treasure hunts, tennis, pool, fire pit & bushwalks while still being as able to relax in our own retreat. Highly recommended!!

3rd time returning to Federation Gardens and Possums Hideaway. We can't fault the place! On arrival the fireplace was on and welcoming. Our accommodation, as always was immaculate. Our children had a great time swimming, playing outdoor chess and roasting marshmallows by the campfire in the evening. We were super lucky to experience some snow falling, an added bonus!

Myself and my two friends stayed in the linden cottage and it was very clean and spacious, fully contained and well set up to cater for every culinary experience,although the shower could have been a little bit bigger the water was hot and relaxing. The beds were extremely comfortable and the fireplace kept us cosy. Looking out the windows into the grounds was gorgeous , even had a visit from a few beautiful birds, a Rosella being one of them. The facilities did not disappoint with Federation gardens and possums hideaway thinking of everything and covering all ages groups. The indoor heated pool was a big hit and the communal fire pit was where we headed afterwards to toast our marshmallows that were so nicely provided for us upon our arrival. Before we left we walked around the gardens and had a sneaky look at the Couples only tree top accommodation where you can feed and spot the possums, they looked so nice and romantic that I'll be bringing my husband back. From the friendly greeting from jess, when I walked into the office to check in, to feeling relaxed and not wanting to leave at checkout, I couldn't recommend Federation gardens and possums hideaway highly enough. We will be back.
