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. An early check in or a late check out can usually be arranged at no extra cost. This is only possible if we have no other guests arriving or departing on your dates. We also offer a 10%discount on stays over 6 nights and 20% discount on stays over a month long. It is only 5 mins by car or a 30 minute stroll to Kangaroo Valley's boutique coffee shops and cafes, as well as interesting shops and galleries to browse. Kangaroo Valley is a cyclists' paradise. There are a number of excellent road and mountain bike trails to enjoy. Visit the Kangaroo Valley Pioneer Farm Museum to learn about Kangaroo Valley's intrepid forebears. Rent canoes to paddle the Kangaroo River or fish for carp and bass. Horse riding, swimming, tennis, golf, cooking lessons .......... Situated half way between the Highlands and the Coast, Kangaroo Valley is an excellent base for exploring these regions. The base rate is for 6 people. GIFT VOUCHERS AVAILABLE. Give a special time away as a gift for those special people you know. There are many other attractions in the area.

Great communication from Dennis. Great stay for a wedding at wildwood. Overall very happy Only thing is I don’t think it should be marketed as 3 bathrooms. It’s only 2 bathroom plus an outdoor shower. Maybe my fault for not looking at the details but when you have 8 girls getting ready for a wedding another bathroom would have been useful

Our stay at Grey Gums was amazing! We all wished we had another night The house was awesome, it was as described. The kitchen had everything we needed. We had fire wood and kindling. It was so lovely and cosy at night with the fire on. We were a group of 5 girlfriends (40+ 😉) just needing downtime and relaxation. That’s exactly what we got! I would highly recommend staying here. The beds were so comfy 🙌 Dennis and Helen, you have an amazing place and are wonderful hosts Thank you for a great stay 😊

The property was clean and well appointed. The bedrooms were a generous size and the kitchen well-stocked with cooking implements. The outdoor fire-pit was a hit and we enjoyed watching the kangaroos grazing in the morning mists.

We stayed for two nights with two kids and my parents. My older son was kept busy with the ping pong and pool table while the baby loved crawling on the lawn. The outdoor fireplace was a hit with the family and we loved roasting marshmallow and sweet potatoes under the stars. Overall a wonderful and relaxing stay and we would love to be back soon.

My family very much enjoyed our stay at Grey Gums, the bush setting, the peacefulness of the location. The house has so much character, loved the sun room off the kitchen! Everything we needed was supplied in the house, a very memorable stay in the beautiful Kangaroo Valley to attend a family wedding. Helen and Dennis are great hosts.

This is a unique property that makes you feel as though you are in another world. It has a perfect mix of comfort/facilities and rustic/country feel. Very clean, very well presented, well equipped (coffee machine is great). Indoor fireplace was great, as was the outdoor firepit. Plenty of wood on hand. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to escape in style. We definitely hope to come back some time.

Great place

Surrounded by a natural environment but only a couple minutes drive into the local village and close to both the coast and highlands attractions. This is a great rural retreat but with plenty of amenity for those who don't want the bush walks. Loved having the kangaroos, wallabies around the house. The resident wombat even made an appearance

Thanks Dennis & Helen for a wonderful stay. The house was lovely & we loved the woodwork. It was great to find a house with 4 queen beds for a bunch of adult kids & partners. Also the separation of the bathroom, toilet & vanity was a fantastic touch! We’d love to come again for a longer stay next time. Cheers xxx

We enjoyed our family weekend celebrating my husband’s 70th birthday at Grey Gums. The setting was quiet and the venue very comfortable for our adult family. Thanks to our hosts who were friendly and helped us organise a lovely birthday cake through a friend of theirs as a surprise for our celebration.
