About this cottage rental
Possums Retreat is nestled among the bamboo and trees in a garden setting on a 4.5 acre property. It is ideal for a peaceful, tranquil get away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Relax on the large deck and soak up the sounds of nature. Guests have access to the grounds and the small dam. It is a quick 2 minute drive to Maleny town centre or a 30 minute walk via Parkland Drive and the Maleny Trail.
The retreat provides a modern, clean and quiet living space in a garden setting. The front door opens into the open plan kitchen-dining-lounge area. The kitchen has new appliances including a fridge, stove top, microwave oven, dishwasher and coffee machine. There is ample cupboard and counter top space and is finished off with wooden bench tops.
There is a television with DTV, Netflix and Stan in the living area. The side wall of the living area is made up of two French doors on either side of the wood burning stove. The doors open up on to the large deck offering a panoramic view of the garden and surrounding valley and trees. A large ceiling fan ensures you remain cool no matter what the weather. There is a four seater table and a BBQ.
The bedroom overlooks the resplendent Jacaranda tree, gardens and Macadamia trees through French windows. It has a remote controlled ceiling fan and a Queen bed with all linen is provided. There is also a television in the bedroom with DTV, Stan & Netflix.
There is also a reverse cycle air conditioner in the bedroom, capable of cooling and heating the entire house.
The en-suite bathroom is accessed through the barn door and has a separate toilet, large rain shower, large vanity, bath and heated towel rail. Towels and amenities are provided.
The side deck has the hydrotherapy spa and a small seating area with access down into the garden. The area is fully enclosed and very private and for the exclusive use by the guests staying at Possums Retreat. The spa is NOT shared with any other guests on the property.
An extra single bed with all bedding is available for use in the lounge area. There is an extra charge of $30.00 if this is required when only 2 guests are staying.
Other Details to Note:
* A complimentary breakfast hamper is provided for you In the Cottage, which includes, freshly baked multigrain bread, croissants, local seasonal fruit, yoghurt, muesli, eggs, milk and juice. We also provide a selection of teas and coffee pods.
* Enough wood for the indoor fire is provided for your stay. The wood cradle will be filled and kindling, firelighters and matches left.
* Wifi, Netflix & Stan are provided free of charge.
* Our property is semi-rural and is not on town water or sewerage. Our water comes from rainwater tanks and we have a waste water treatment plant. The house has its own tank and the water is perfectly safe to drink (but may be discoloured).
* Small pets (less than 10kg) are welcome.
Pets are not allowed on the beds or furniture. The property has a designated "wildlife corridor" for our local wallabies, possums, bush turkeys, etc. and as such is not fenced.
Due to the native bird and wildlife on the property, dogs are not allowed outside on their own and preferably not off lead. We do ask that you not leave your dog at the home alone for long periods of time but understand that sometimes you have to for a couple of hours (e.g. going out to dinner).
* There are free range chickens on the property.

We arrived to the smell (and very soon after, the taste) of freshly-baked bread. The hosts had thought of everything, and our cottage was beautifully appointed, comfortable, and warm, with robes, a spa, a modern kitchen, and both air conditioning and a fireplace. We shared the surrounds - about three minutes from Maleny township - with chickens, kookaburras and wallabies. It was an ideal place to stay for time out and a bit of luxury. We’ll be back.

Possums retreat is absolutely gorgeous! It's in a great location and close to everything you need. The fire place and the hydrotherapy spa was a massive win for us. Most importantly, the communication with the owners was exceptional. They even supplied a hamper with fresh fruit, danishes, crossiants and a freshly homemade loaf of bread which was super delicious. Amazing weekend away!! A massive thanks to the Owners Linda and Antony. We'll be back for sure.

Before we arrived we were giver clear and detailed information about how to find our way to our cottage. Inside we found a basket with a fresh home-made loaf of bread, butter, condiments and cakes. Fresh eggs were also supplied in the full kitchen as was milk and juice.
Melany is a few minutes away by car. A folder with places to go and menues for local restaurants was also supplied.
We felt well looked after. Thank you.

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!

Upon arrival the 1st thing I noticed was how beautifully presented the cottage was from the welcoming basket of local goodies to the crisp white bedding !! Instantly I was in heaven ❤️ our (2) Westie girls were welcomed with open arms ( which means everything to us ) loved our hosts … best getaway yet !!

Very enjoyable. Our only negative comment would be the stairs down to the cottage with our little dog. Taking him up and down for his toileting needs especially during the night was awkward.

The cottage was just perfect. Beautifully presented and very comfortable. The balcony and the view from it was wonderful and we had everything we needed. The lovely fresh produce and bread and croissants delivered *still warm* were just the icing on the cake.
Unfortunately, my partner developed a severe migraine during the night and was very sick for the rest of our stay, so we weren't able to take full advantage of the lovely breakfast basket supplied.
Apart from that, it was a wonderful stay, many thanks to Linda and Anthony for providing such a lovely cottage to stay in.

Couldn't wish for a better place. Lovely welcome pack with local/home-made produce. Property clean and airy with all conveniences. Great place as base for exploring the Hinterland. Wildlife very vocal, but we had been forewarned. Highly recommended, and thank you both for letting us stay in your lovely home.

A delightful stay. The accommodation was spacious, clean, and extraordinarily well appointed. The hosts had thought of everything. It was a rainy day, so we were so pleased to have this wonderful retreat to relax in. We were also delighted by the lovely breakfast, with fresh eggs, fruit, muesli and yoghurt and then freshly baked bread and croissants delivered to the door. Highly recommended.

Beautiful
As a uni student, I really enjoyed the opportunity to get away and relax. I was not stressed for a single second during my stay. The hosts went above and beyond to make the cottage comfortable and provided everything I would need. 100% would come back to beautiful and peaceful Maleny, and do some more exploring while I'm there.

Lovely little modern cottage
Beautiful little home, loved the shower and the bath the most. Kitchen is nicely spaced and was all clean. The owners go above and beyond and was pleasantly surprised at a lot of just the little details, especially the breakfast hamper we walked into, definitely the best I’ve ever had.
Property is well kept and was easy to find, it’s a nice little location and would recommend.

Honeymoon Getaway
As newly-weds my husband and I spent 3 nights away in the gorgeous Serenity Cottage.
We were greeted with a breakfast hamper and also some crackers, dip, cheese and other sweet and savoury assortments from the local area.
We were also lucky enough to see the peafowel on the property and enjoy so many local sights to see very close to our quaint little cottage.
We would both highly recommend staying here!
