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.

    What a stunning property in a perfect location. We didn’t have much time to use all facilities as we had a wedding, but this property definitely had everything and there is no need to leave to do activities as everything is right there inc pool table and table tennis. Great cooking facilities. Great showers, beds comfy. And the fireplace inside is lovely in winter. Highly recommend this property.

    A beautifully located welcoming property. We stayed here as my daughter was getting married at Wildwood so didn’t get a chance to fully embrace everything that was on offer. Maybe next time?

    Grey Gums was the perfect getaway for a 2 night stay with friends. Our party was made up of 5 kids aged 6-15 and 3 adults. The house was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The kids loved the ping pong table and games and we enjoyed sitting around the firepit roasting marshmallows. One of the kids even managed an outdoor bath! Highly recommend this beautiful place.

    We had a great short stay at this accommodation! The internal fireplace made the space feel cozy and warm, and the fully equipped kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals together. The ping-pong table added a fun, competitive touch to our evenings, and the outdoor bathtub was both relaxing and full of laughs. A lovely spot for a quick getaway with friends!

    Stayed here for my mum’s 70th. Dennis was more than generous with check in and check out arrangements. The house is set out perfectly for larger groups. It is also equipped with everything you need. The first aid kit had tick cream which was perfect for the ticks we got on a bush walk. The extra items to keep the kids and teens entertained were fabulous. We couldn’t fault the place.

    We are so glad we found this beautiful place when our original plans to camp in Wombeyan were washed out. Dennis was a wonderful host, stoking the fire for us on arrival, supplying me a large cast iron pot when I asked if they had one at the property and even sharing his book of knots to keep the kids (and adults) busy in the wet weather. The home was warm and inviting with every single thing we needed during our stay. Beds were comfortable, linen was lovely and our kids were kept busy with outdoor cricket, ping pong and pool all supplied outside. We will definitely return to this gorgeous home only 5 minutes drive from town! Thankyou!

    Property was amazing for our group of 9. Teen kids loved playing games on the lawn, marshmallows on the campfire. The house catered for everything you need to host a large group. Was super convenient for the town and all the attractions. Dennis was there on arrival to help us with any questions and share recommendations. Amazing stay.

    We stayed here as it was close to a wedding we attended. The house was great, with lots of nice natural finishes and touches. The coffee machine made great food which was a bonus. The linen on the beds was comfy as were the beds.

    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.
