Reviews for Federation Gardens & Possums Hideaway

Review 1：No wifi

Review 2：Calm. Children friendly. Very well equipped bbq area. Spacious. We found what we were looking for. The value for money is excellent. The region around is awesome.

Review 3：If I ever came back I would definitely bring a car, as maybe a bit out the way especially with heavy bags.

Review 4：So much to do, so many facilities, the cabins we're so nice and comfortable.

Review 5：had a stale smell in the room which was easy to overcome when you leave the windows open no bath bubbles as promised when i made contact to ask the property direct

Review 6：everything else was perfect Julie was brilliant with providing local information and suggestions for dinner and walks

Review 7：very quiet relaxed atmosphere. great for kids to safely play and run. the resident birds are a treat and the location is ideal. great gas fireplaces and fantastic fire pit for roasting marshmallows

Review 8：Tapware a bit old and plumbing needs some attention - new washers, etc. Induction stovetop but one of the pots not suitable for the range.

Review 9：Lovely peaceful bush location, relaxing and well away from the rest of the world. Animals and birds unafraid and plentiful. Great deep spa bath.

Review 10：Didn't like having to take my own rubbish bag out. It's just a small thing I know, but just didn't think as a guest I would need to do that.

Review 11：Only negative was the early morning light through the blinds but then again our stay wasn't about sleeping in..

Review 12：We loved the location it was central to what we wanted, gave us the experience of living in Manly with all the home comforts also. Owners friendly but respectful of our privacy, welcoming and hospitable. Cottage light and bright with lovely garden to relax in.

Review 13：Not too much. This place is not trying to be olde worlde but rather an old school camp and it pretty much nails it.

Review 14：Completely out of the mould of blue mountains accommodation, this is made for young kids with a games room, tennis court, fire pit, heated swimming pool available for entertainment. The separate rooms in the cabins means mum and dad get sleep too!

Review 15：The shower was very very small. It would put me off a stay longer than 2 nights. Also tricky to bathe small children.

Review 16：Suited our young family. Loved the fire fit and marshmallows!

Review 17：The TV is cheap and buzzes. The hot plate elements don't work properly and having to take out the garbage lest we get a cleaning levy is downright unreasonable.

Review 18：For grandparents travelling with 2 young teenagers, it was great. Kitchen facilities good for minimising food costs of constant eating! Gas fire perfect ambient touch plus efficient warmth. Excellent TV & DVD important for late afternoon snooze after freezing big day out.

Review 19：Can be a little noisy from adjoining rooms. Shower is awkward due to poorly placed taps and difficult to keep hot water running (keeps going cold).

Review 20：Quiet location, close to nice walking tracks. Spacious lounge area.

Review 21：Carpet wasn't very clean, also the power point on the wall near the lounge doesn't work at all, extension cord was half hanging out, the light bulb in the room with the two single beds didn't work at all. Shower fan is heavily coated in dust. Also annoying having no oven. The people in the cabin next door had half a dozen children and they were playing in our front garden and kept touching our car, we spoke to the parents who didn't care.

Review 22：Linden cabin - the gas heater, wonderful and even better with no smoke smell and not having to worry if the fire goes out. We loved how close the bush and more important how close to Walls Cave walking trial is. Rooms are comfortable and quiet.

Review 23：Slightly run down facilities such as leaky taps, not coffee plunger, pool table cues had no felt.... Nothing major, just a few small things.

Review 24：Lovely grounds.

Review 25：Cosy comfortable and roomy cottage on a very large yard surrounded by bush along with the sound of the lyrebird. Great pool and access to tennis, and other games

Review 26：Pool wasnt heated like it claimed. the tennis balls were dead and the table tennis net only had 1 stand so couldn't play it.

Review 27：Good facilities, good base for blue mountains and the cottage was well equipped and comfortable for all 4 of us. We will return

Review 28：The only way to access wifi was to sit outside reception, where there was almost no shelter from the cold, rain and mosquitoes. Wifi in the rooms would be a major improvement. The laundry was fine, albeit a bit of a trek back and forth from the accomms. The phone is not answered after 1700hr, which is a bit frustrating if you have an inquiry, are arriving late, or need to cancel/change a booking. A little more warmth & friendliness wouldn't go astray.

Review 29：The 2-bedroom unit we stayed in was fine, with all necessaries, apart from an oven. Even had a fireplace with plenty of wood supplied. We ended up buying a small portable Turbo oven for use here and in our further travels. The location is great, very peaceful and close to Evans Lookout, a beautiful early morning or evening walk. You do need a car, tho

Review 30：We looked forward to the gas"Log Fire", which was basically a gas heater with glow. The bathroom was very cold, the Shower Cubicle small, and shower curtains are very passé. It reminded me a little of old motels.

Review 31：It is in a great location, beautiful grounds, great for families with kids. Living area and kitchen very spacious. Everything was very clean, beds comfortable.

Review 32：Location perfect for exploring blue mountains. Really great on it's own terms...perfect for families: enclosed gardens with heated pool, tennis court and games room. Very good value.

Review 33：The bbq did not work, or I could not get it to work. Games room just storage for balls. Nothing works.
