About this house rental

Grey Gums is an owner built, eco friendly, charming, unique house, offering great value accommodation, hand crafted from new and recycled materials and sandstone coloured Timbercrete bricks. Surrounded by tall gums, the house is set on 12 acres. It features quality, woodwork fittings and furnishings for you to enjoy. It is light and spacious and exudes serenity. It is great for families with kids or groups of adults. And now we have air conditioning to help cope with the summer heat.

There are 4 bedrooms, each with a queen sized bed and one has a king single also. We supply quality linen for you. There is a 3 way bathroom and an ensuite bathroom with the master bedroom. The 2 spacious showers and a bath tub add to the comfort of your stay. This will enable many guests to get ready for a wedding or to relax after a long day in the outdoors.
We can accommodate an extra person on a mattress on the floor.

There is an open air hot outdoor shower and bathtub in which to soak providing soothing relaxation under the stars amidst the serenity of grey gums, scribbly gums and other native bush, rain or shine.

Enjoy al fresco dining in our new outdoor, covered area.
There are 4 sets of outdoor tables and chairs for different uses.

Outdoor fire pit surrounded by rustic seating enhances your stay on cosy nights.
We provide all the wood for the outdoor fire pit and the indoor wood heater.

View the night sky and constellations with no light pollution.

There is a large, well equipped modern kitchen with a coffee maker and an outdoor barbecue.

A selection of teas, coffee, milk and olive oil are provided.

As we make our own electricity and solar hot water, collect rain water, and take care of sewage on site, you can minimize your environmental impact. We recycle all the plastics, metal, glass, paper and organics in the bins provided. You don't need to bring bottled water as the rain water is very clean to drink and tastes fantastic but is safe as we use a UV light to kill microbes, not chlorine.

Relax in front of the cosy, wood fired heater to watch TV ----- or lose yourself in a good book. There is a variety of indoor games and lots of perfect holiday reading in our collection of books and magazines for both children and adults and many nooks for relaxing.

Kangaroos, wombats and a variety of native birds frequent the property, which backs on to a nature reserve overlooking the Kangaroo River. Spring time is the time to see the echidnas out on a walkabout. For those energetic souls, or those who love a casual stroll, this provides for some very scenic bush walking. There is also a 250m bush walk on the property with many local plants identified and discussed. Due to our natural setting, with many wild animals and that we border the Kangaroo River Nature Reserve, which has fox (and DOG!) poisoning bait stations, we cannot be a pet friendly accommodation.
Bushwalk (medium difficulty) for approximately 50 minutes to the Kangaroo River through scribbly gum forest and dry and shallow creek bed for a refreshing swim.

A ping pong table and a pool table are also provided for your enjoyment. There is plenty of space for backyard ball games too.

We realize that it can be difficult to keep connected in Kangaroo Valley so we offer free fast WiFi.

We are keen to keep it rented and will do what we can to accommodate you. The owners/managers live on site and will do whatever we can to assist you to make your stay an enjoyable experience.

This property is tranquil. What a wonderful place to unwind, relax and kick back. Absolutely nothing else needed. Dennis was a wonderful host. Nothing was an issue. The beds and pillows are comfy, the showers are hot with good pressure and the kitchen is a dream. The fire pit and outdoor areas are sensational. Amazing bird and wildlife to enjoy at all hours of the day. We absolutely would love to stay at Grey Gums again. Thank you

Grey Gums is the perfect house for an extend family get together. The house is large and well equipped to cater for 9 adults. We loved the wildlife which came to visit the gardens, and exploring the property and creek. The fire place made the house warm and cozy. Grey Gums is close to Wild Wood Wedding venue, which we attended for our nieces wedding. Overall we had a fabulous 3 day stay and all of us want to come back again.
