We enjoyed our 2 night stay in Possumbrook Cottage. The cottage was spotless and comfortable, and Dee was generous with her time and provisions in the cottage. The location is beautiful and peaceful and it was very special to visit several platypus after dark. Thanks Dee for a wonderful stay.

Absolutely best place we could have booked for a family holiday! Dee was absolutely lovely and her idealic property, with wildlife and farm animals was just magical. The house was cozy and clean. I will never forget watching the platypus play at night or watching my kids fall in love with Poppet, the baby cow. I hope we can come back one day.

Tranquil Setting
This cottage was in a beautiful place, very peaceful and perfect for getting away from the business of suburban life. The host was very friendly and helpful and supplied an abundance of refreshments. It was close to the attractions of the south of Tasmania and the cottage had all the facilities to allow for a comfortable stay.

Great location for a weekend getaway or longer. Dee has made the house so welcoming with plenty of little touches such as fresh eggs, soaps, fire place was set etc. We loved sitting on the deck ith our German Shepard watching Bucky the sheep & the chickens in the next paddock. Fully fenced yard, 4km away from nearest food (delicious Pub), easy drive to Franklin, Geevston making it the perfect place make home base for exploring the Southern Edge. Thanks for the stay.

Cosy, comfortable & relaxing
We had a very relaxing stay at Possumbrook Cottage. After travelling around all day it was a cosy haven to come back to. Ruby, our dog, had room to roam outside and was also allowed inside with us. Dee was very a generous host supplying an amazing array of supplies. If we will travel that way again we would look to stay at Possumbrook Cottage again. Many thanks Dee for your hospitality.
