Relaxing Stay

Everything about this stay was just perfect - from the warm welcome by Linda and Antony, to the breakfast basket that contained (among other things) a freshly home-made loaf of bread that was still warm, to the relaxing outdoor spa, and the amazing location. We couldn’t fault our 3 days there, and we just wish we could have stayed longer!

So cosy and relaxing

We had the most relaxing, comfortable stay. The cottage was so clean and gorgeous. Kitchen has everything you'd need. The welcome basket of goodies was beautiful. Breakfast on the balcony, watching the birds was a highlight.

Possum Retreat was the perfect cottage for a rainy 4 nights. It was comfortable spacious and beautifully furnished. Breakfast basket was great and the eggs a highlight. It wasn’t too far from Maleny or Montville or Australia Zoo. Be careful of the driveway as it is steep. We didn’t get to see or hike around the Glass House Mountains so definitely a return visit.

Home away from home

We enjoyed a wonderful 7 nights in this lovely cottage, tucked away in a peaceful part of North Maleny. Super clean and comfortable. Very close and convenient to amenities and sightseeing seeing. Do yourself a favour and book to stay here.

Excellent place for relaxation

Everything is provided, even a well stocked breakfast basket with home-made bread. Spacious house with a large veranda and a very private area for the spa. Lots of interesting places to visit nearby and only a 5 minute drive from Maleny center. Hosts Linda and Antony are very friendly and helpful..... thank you for everything. We definitely can recommend the Possum Retreat.

Wife's birthday getaway

Property as advertised. Lived up to and or better than expected. Warm, cosy with enclosed fire & air if required. Handy to sights & village. Met friendly and welcoming owners. Nothing to be faulted. Great 2 night stay. Weather was perfect as a bonus.
