Federation Gardens & Possums Hideaway

Beautiful getaway in gorgeous surroundings - possum cabins perfect as a solo traveller and also for couples. Close to wonderful walks and a short drive away from wonderful restaurants. Huge spa bath and toasty fireplace. Fully equipped kitchen if you want to eat in.

So pleased to have had the opportunity to stay in Federation Gardens as we had to cancel our annual visit earlier in the year. Jess did her usual wonderful job of looking after us and we enjoyed relaxing in and around the property as well as exploring local tracks and Blackheath. The accomodation was clean, well equiped and very comfortable . We look forward to our next visit !

We had a great family weekend here. 4 adults and 3 kids piled into Pine Cottage #3. It was comfortable, the kitchen was adequate and the gas fire was excellent. The surrounding gardens and amenities were perfect for the kids, with a tennis court, games room, fire pit for toasting marshmallows and a heated pool. The bushwalks are of course fantastic in the nearby National Park and the place is far enough out of town to be quiet and peaceful but close enough to get dinner, coffees or supplies.

We recently had a wonderful, comfortable, fun and relaxing stay at Possums. The pool, games room, tennis court, basketball hoop, tennis court and fire pit are amazing for kids. The perfect location, 4 min drive to Blackheath village and other Blue Mountains attractions. Jess, the manager, was a warm host with an attitude that shined so brightly. Thanks and we’ll be back!

What a warm, welcoming, peaceful retreat. Fantastic location close to everything by car. Gorgeous trails next door. Immaculate cottages and grounds. Great indoor pool. And a very super fun fire pit! Roasting marshmallows was a wonderful hit with our kids - and it was a lovely touch that a bag of delicious marshmallows were provided in the room as a welcome gift. Jess (manager) is a gorgeous, genuine delight and couldn't have made us feel more welcome. (thanks for the recommendation for the delicious Thai take away too!)

My husband and I had the most magical weekend at Possums Hideaway, and I can't recommend this place enough for a romantic getaway. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of tranquillity and romance. The secluded location provided the perfect backdrop for a peaceful retreat, allowing us to reconnect and unwind in a truly beautiful setting. This would be probably close to our 10th visit here over a 15 year period and in all this time it has remained consistently perfect. The cabin was impeccably clean, cosy, and thoughtfully decorated, creating an inviting and warm ambiance with the slow wood heater. The spa bath was very luxurious plenty big enough for two. Jess was incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring that our stay was nothing short of perfect. She provided us with excellent recommendations for local activities and restaurants. We took advantage of the breakfast basket which provided more than enough for breakfast, delicious pancakes and granola. Possums Hideaway is the epitome of a romantic retreat—secluded, serene, and simply stunning. We left feeling rejuvenated, closer than ever, and already planning our next visit. If you're looking for a place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and reconnect with your partner, this is the place to be. Five stars simply aren't enough!
