We had a very relaxing time and was able to bring our fur baby. The dog pack was more than generous and covered everything from comfort to wet weather. Our breakfast basket was also very generous and filed with delicious, quality products and home baked bread. We have already bok another stay for October this year!
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!
Lovely property, quiet and secluded and everything we needed. Breakfast basket was unexpected and yum with local sourced foods and nice little touches.
You can tell that someone has really put some thought into the furnishings and has an eye for detail. Made for a tranquil experience.
We felt very relaxed to be in such a beautiful cottage.
Would definitely stay again.
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.
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.
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.
Very relaxing. Very comfortable. Hosts very friendly and obliging. Delicious bread, eggs and pastries provided for breakfast or whenever. Thoroughly recommend this place for a short relaxing holiday.

What an amazing experience. House was stunning and the hosts really did think of everything from the beautiful basket on arrival to the simple check in instructions. Property is set in a perfect setting, quiet, private and only a 3 minute drive into town.
Beautiful place to stay and nothing was too much trouble. Amazing communication from hosts. So relaxing and the house was perfect. Spa was an added bonus. Love the local produce. Thank you
