Gumtree Glen - rural escape

Special - Book 2 nights and stay a 3rd night free!
"Gumtree Glen" is a beautifully appointed, comfortable and extra spacious traditional wooden house, styled with handmade rug and original artworks by regional artists. Surrounding by wrap around verandas and huge timber deck, the cottage is situated on the outskirts of Kangaroo Valley Village - allowing guests to enjoy a sense of rural escape as well as being an easy few minutes away from the picturesque village with all of its eating and shopping amenities.
It is a short walk up the road from the Kangaroo River, giving many options for kayaking, swimming, picnicking, walking and exploring. Set amidst an acre of garden, front and back, Gumtree Glen is the perfect destination for couples to get together for a weekend away or a family holiday away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The huge open plan living area gives more than enough room for up to 8 guests to spread out, watch a movie, cook, read - or for kids to play. The dining table comfortably seats 8. The wood burner heats the entire room; firewood supplied May to September, and is perfect for the Valley's chilly winter nights. Wood is supplied in winter.
For indoor entertainment for the young and not so young, there is a good selection of DVDs, books, board games and children's toys. The modern kitchen is fully equipped, included a coffee machine and dishwasher, as well as a full range of cook's appliances and utensils. There is a 5-hub gas cooker, and a double-sized oven.
Complimentary wifi is available.
The master bedroom has a queen bed and an ensuite bathroom with shower. Bedroom 2 has a queen bed. Bedroom 3 has a queen bed. Bedroom 4 has 2 single beds. Linen and towels are provided.
The main bathroom has a bath tub as well as a shower, and there is a separate toilet for your convenience. Towels are provided for our guests, and there is a hair dryer available.
There is an expansive deck at the rear of the house with an outdoor dining setting, a lounge area and a gas barbeque. The 10 person outdoor spa tub is a feature and has a childproof fence and gate for safety. The huge level yard is surrounded by stunning woodland which provides privacy and a sense of rural isolation, as well as providing homes for all kinds of wildlife - its not unusual to see kangaroos and wombats in the garden in the early morning. The back garden is safely fenced, perfect for the kids to run around or play a game of cricket. There is also a 1.5 metre fire bowl which can be used with prior permission; please BYO firewood.
Gumtree Glen is only a 2 minute drive from the village or a 15 minute stroll using the combined bike/walking path, very handy after having a few drinks at one of the fabulous restaurants and cafes or The Friendly Inn pub.
Only a 5 minute walk to the famous Hampden Bridge, Kangaroo River and canoe, kayak and bike hire. Cross the bridge to Pioneer Farm Museum where the children can learn about the area's early history through interactive displays.
There is ample space for up to 5 cars to park.
Dogs are welcome, with prior approval.

Great spot for a family getaway
We had two families and two dogs staying for a family wedding. The property was lovely, very big with lots of indoor and outdoor space. The bedrooms are in one end of the house with a door able to be shut to block noise. The kids loved the spa and we even saw a wallaby in the front garden. Very quiet street and huge back garden. Great for dogs to run around but just note that previous canine guests have dug holes under the fence, so it’s an escape artist paradise! We’ll definitely be back.

Lovely place, great location, but value for money it was not!
The property is a nice and large size home that fitted our large family for a 4 night stay. Great location, only a short walk into town. However the property was not clean nor maintained very well. It did not include many amenities nor that special touch that you would expect at this price point. Hardly any pantry staples - had to do a mad dash to the service station for firewood, cooking oil and foil. Spa was fit for frogs, but not clean enough to use and cold. Trampoline was unusable with a gapping hole, soccer balls provided were deflated and moldy. No wifi/ internet was available so we couldn't watch movies/netflix. We had problems with the fire place smoking the house out but was taken care of by a chimney sweep.

Good location, lovely setting, overpriced, not clean, misleading online information/photos
- Lovely property in a beautiful setting and great location. - The linen was clean and kitchen was well set up - House was not well appointed or had a homey feel, online photos were misleading - House poorly maintained - Fly screens were torn and dirty and broken in living area - Light switch in bathroom was faulty - Cobwebs visible in Master suite and living/dining area - Dirty glassware with lipstick marks in the cupboard - Wet and unclean plates in the cupboard - Hair from previous occupants found on the floor of Ensuite bathroom - Skirtings and window sills dirty - TV cabinet surface was dusty - Bed base in bedroom facing backyard, was heavily soiled and torn - Table surfaces were dirty - No coat hangers supplied in Master suite - No kindling supplied for fire place - Lighting inadequate in living area and master bedroom - Leaking shower in bathroom and Ensuite, dangerous and a slip hazard - Given unclean presentation, we weren't game to get into the hot tub - Lounge was uncomfortable and stained and inadequate for larger groups of people. We sat at the dining table all weekend. - WIFI was unusable, connection was so poor - No internet, couldn't log into any internet connection for any purpose - Trampoline in a terrible state and unusable - Cigarette butt had been extinguished on the outside table and just left there - Not worth the money charged - more than $900 pn - 4pm check in is really not good enough - Advertising of this property was misleading and we were very disappointed, which is a shame as it is a lovely setting. It is of great concern the property is so unclean while still dealing with Covid. Most properties have extra cleaning in place for Covid, but his property doesn’t even have the basics in place. I therefore, would not recommend this property to anyone. I was not happy with the communication with Kangaroo Valley Getaways and I will ensure that I do not book another property managed by them. I feel ripped off and upset that I was mislead.

Weekend stay
The house was in a lovely quiet location looked lovely but not as cleaned as I would have hope no real extras to make it feel homely and only 2 half rolls of toilet paper when we arrived so with 8 guests had to rush out and buy a few basics at 7:30am at the servo Could do more to make it more welcoming for the price

Great getaway
Clean and comfortable. Great rural location. Plenty of room for sitting, chatting, playing, walking, bird-watching, and short stroll to the river and town. A treasure.
