Fantastic time away, plenty provided and Dee is extremely accommodating 😊
Set in an idealistic quiet area, so peaceful, an ideal base for day tours. Very comfortable with all needs covered, cant praise this place enough, will definitely be going back again.
Deirdre was generous and accomodating with our late booking. Kids loved the cosy house and calf and pony. Platypus in the creek was a great bonus. A great stay in a lovely house

Gorgeous cosy cabin, ample quality breakfast provisions, great heating, comfortable beds with plenty of warm bedding. Sauna was a unique experience. Owner was lovely, showing us around, letting kids interact with animals (farm animals & feeding native wildlife). Wonderful property, thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Possumbrook Cottage is a wonderful to stay at - a very generous host, stocked with delightful fresh goodies for breakfast, lovely peaceful location and excellent for kids - our youngest loved exploring the garden, brook and seeing some native wildlife. Would definitely stay here again when in the area. Thanks!
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.
What can I say that already hasn't been said about Dee and the Possumbrook Cottage experience.... Simply home away from home, the most comfortable accommodation we have ever experienced.
Very attentive host who kindly bought vegan supplies for us. She even offered to look after our greyhound if we wanted to go somewhere that wasn't dog friendly.

A beautiful place, warm and easy to get along with, just like our hosts. They showed us their wonderful wild life, including platypuses. Dee and Donny also shared their wonderful pets and saved animals, especially Poppet the orphaned calf.

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.
A beautifully, scenic cottage in a tranquil setting by a babbling brook. Surrounded by mountains and curious well cared for animals. “How I’ll miss you poppet the calf”.
Thank You Dee and Mandy Moo for making us feel very welcome and cared for over our two night stay 😊

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.

Wonderful host, quaint cottage in a secluded location, lots of birds, sound of the creek flowing, just gorgeous.
Possombrook cottage was the perfect getaway for us for the weekend. Clean, comfortable and cosy. We can’t thank Dee enough for all the extra little things that helped make our stay so perfect.
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.
