Perfect location for a relaxing weekend
The Lily Pond cabin was simply stunning. It had everything you could need but the peace and quiet to just truly relax. Sitting near the pool watching the wildlife was a bonus. We had an amazing weekend and will definitely return.

Soooo relaxing
Had a great time, perfect place to just switch off and relax in nature. Was a cold windy weekend but when you are cozy in front of the fire or looking up through the window above the bed it was just amazing.

Lovely two nights away
Cosy cottage, especially in the evenings with the log fire going. Nice location in amongst the trees and we enjoyed the tranquility and privacy and experienced the local wildlife including a very friendly possum. Well equipped kitchen and the webber outside allowed us to snuggle in and cook both nights. Day time exploring was also fun including the loop walk at Williams River. We highly recommend this place for a romantic getaway in an area which has plenty of lovely scenery to explore!

Very relaxing
Beautiful setting surrounded by bush. Wallabies abound. Balcony to soak up the ambiance. Everything we could want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big smoke. I can't thank my beautiful partner enough for organising such a first class weekend surprise for my birthday. Thank you my Darling.

Very Disappointing
We decided not to stay our two night stay after one night in the Lilypond Cabin.
I’m not sure what the refund policy is, but the cabin and property are not a reflection of the advertised website.
We had been on a beautiful travelling holiday for two week staying in amazing accommodation and were very disappointed to end our holiday at Bluegums Lilypond Cabin.
When we arrived late afternoon the cabin was so hot that the set temperature air conditioner could not cool the cabin.
Everything seemed to need a wipe over before we could use it and the bed was so uncomfortable and noisy to sleep in that we woke each other every time we moved.
We did try to walk around the property and to the pool as mentioned online but everything is over grown so this wasn’t possible.
The cabin had lots of spiders, a dragon fly and blow fly that spent the night with use also.
We only used two plates and two glasses after rinsing them for use and placed them in the dishwasher which the door doesn’t close on so couldn’t be used. I would have hand washed but no tea towel was left.
I thought I would give the owners the courtesy of letting them know we were leaving by calling them to discuss but we had no service with either Optus or Telstra at the cabin so I sent a message when we had service away from the property. I received no reply.

Lovely property
Whilst on a visit from UK, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Blue Gums. It was nice to be able to relax at the pool area after a walk in the area. The wild life was particularly interesting for us.

Great for a couple's getaway
Nice end of winter getaway, complete with lovely real fire to ward off the chill at night. Cabin has almost everything needed for a relaxing stay, cozy with a great balcony to view the visiting wildlife or relax in the hammock in the sun. Owners Amanda and Gavin made us feel very welcome, on hand if we needed them, but happy to let us get on our own

Superbly serene
We were blown away by how secluded and private our cabin was. It was by far the best equipped self catering property we have stayed in. Sitting on the balcony and watching the variety of birds meters away in the trees was so peaceful our weekend felt like a week away from work.

Hubby and I needed a break and this Bluegums cabin ticked all the boxes for warmth, comfort and serenity. We really enjoyed our little drives and bush walks in the local vicinity - and enjoyed watching the wildlife from our cabin.
