THINGS TO KNOW
*Checkin details will be sent either the night before checking in, or the morning of check-in for security reasons.
*We are a working farm, we have 8000 chickens that produce lovely eggs in a true free range set up. Our girls are moved onto fresh grass twice a week to allow them the best access to grass, bugs and new places to explore. We used to have them at home, but now the livestock part of the farm is a few kms down the road.
*We do run the processing component of the farm from the big shed you pass on the way in. This means there are always people coming and going, although every care is taken to minimise disturbance to the cottage.
*If you want to know more about our little farm you can see us online at Kangaroo Valley Pastured Eggs!
*There is a large mulch pile at the start of the driveway. We also run Delicious Gardens, Kangaroo Valley. Our gardeners will make sure that disturbance is minimal, however, it should be noted that you may see some of our friendly staff near the mulch pile!
*We have a lovely farm dog called Indi, as well as two young goats. They may pass the cottage when in the yard. They are all super friendly, and we welcome you to say hello to all our farm animals!

Very cute and perfect size for a weekend away. Only just out of town by car. The DVD collection was huge! And the small kitchen area had everything we needed, with a BBQ and fire pit outside. That and the reverse cycle kept us warm. We’d definitely stay again.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Well worth diverting from the Hume hwy to stay at Scribbly Gum cottage and explore the beautiful Kangaroo Valley. onveniently located to the lttle village.

Scribbly Gum Cottage, Kangaroo Valley
We really enjoyed our stay because the house was very clean & it had all the amenities we needed. It was very serene & peaceful & we loved sitting on the outdoor porch with our dog Maya. The property was really close to the town & we enjoyed our dinners at The Friendly Inn hotel.

Great communication, would book again!
The Getawayz team was so helpful with communication and any questions asked. They were prompt and gave us all the detailed information needed for check in and check out.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this funky historic cottage. It's relaxed, tranquil and private apart from the birds and animals around. The renovations have transformed a simple workers cottage into a comfortable modern venue for a weekend stay. From the ease of check in, through the lovely linens, to the amazement of friends when we sent photos of our stay, it was a delight.
Lovely cabin. Very comfy and romantic. Nice outdoor space too and very handy for Kangaroo Valley village. Garden gets very muddy and water logged after rain so take boots.

Perfect for two
Absolutely serene location. Horses and sheep next door. Indy the dog an absolute champion. So relaxing and at the same time with all the mod cons required. A great stay and we are recommending it to any couple seeking a few days rest and refuge.

Great getaway!
Loved the location of this place - within walking distance e if the main town and historic hampden bridge. The place was welcoming with eggs in the fridge, wine, Lindt balls, marshmallows for a fire and some start up milk ! More than I expected! The house is snug and could have done with just a few more kitchen utensil basics. However for those who are happy to embrace a rustic experience this is the place for you!

We loved our stay at Scribbly Gum cottage. Our two dogs loved going for walks in the back paddock and into town. We even saw a couple of roo’s out the back - very fitting for Kangaroo Valley.
The cottage was perfectly sized, and well kitted out. There were more DVD’s than a blockbuster video - although we preferred to enjoy watching the sheep out the window.
What a treat to be able to stay in a piece of Australian history! The cabin is cozy and has pretty much everything you need/want for a short stay.
I have to admit that I didn't try to cook breakfast on the one cooking plate.
The location is great, the sky that night was AMAZING - dark site meant you could actually see the milky way!
Thank you for the gifts - and I am sorry about the sash window! .... oh - and there was no sign of Barry !

Perfect romantic getaway for our anniversary.
Cosy and delightfully rustic set in peaceful surroundings.
Complimentary wine, chocolates, marshmallows and fresh as eggs truly appreciated.
Will definitely recommend.
We were delighted with our accommodation which was super comfortable, cozy and had all we needed. The back paddock was serene and a wonderful spot to watch the comings and goings of farm animals, kangaroos and a variety of birds. Great location, great hosts.Thank you!
The location was gorgeous and so perfect for an easy walk or drive into town, as well as other walks and attractions.The fire pit was fantastic and the the cabin is in such a beautiful location, particularly seeing the sheep out the window and saying hello to the dogs!
Quaint little cottage. We had a nice stay. We couldn’t fill the guest book as there was no pen, and we didn’t bring one!! Thank you for the stay.
