Getawayz NSW - Scribbly Gum Cottage - Rustic, Picturesque, Romantic - Kangaroo Valley

Scribbly Gum cottage is beautiful and rustic, a renovated original settlers cottage relocated to Kangaroo Valley in the 1990's and lovingly restored. There are rural views from every cottage window. Our place is perfect for couples who love a rustic country feel, with a cute little fire pit out the back.

There is nothing better than watching the sunset from our lovely cottage. Kangaroo Valley is known for how bright the stars shine at night.

We are a company that does a lot of travelling so our best means of contact would be either through the app or please email us and my Team will respond as soon as possible!


The owners live on-site and run their businesses from the property. James and the team should be able to help out if you have any problems, however, they will get in touch with us if it's an emergency or you need onsite assistance!

We are close to Kangaroo Valley, about 2km into the centre of town, with restaurants and the local pub. There are many activities available in our area horse riding, canoeing, bike riding, and even a local vineyard.

We will send you a welcome manual with all the best things to do in the area! Please feel free to ask us any questions and we will be more than happy to assist you, to make the most of your holiday!

You will have access to the cottage and surrounds, a private driveway.

Our beautiful, rustic cottage also comes with air-conditioning and heating, to help with the cool Winter nights and the heat of Summer - it's perfect all year around! The cottage comes with basic kitchen amenities, as well as some of our lovely fresh, free-range eggs.

The property is surrounded by amazing views of the Kangaroo Valley escarpment, which is particularly picturesque in the evenings. There is a rural view from each cottage window over our farm and the neighbouring property.

You have your own space around the cottage and a paved area outside with a fire pit. There is off-street parking right next to the cottage.

Inside the cottage, there are basic amenities including a bathroom and kitchenette as well as a bedroom and lounge/ dining and kitchen area.

The kitchen includes basic cooking facilities, there is a single hot plate, microwave, fridge, and sink. There is also a bbq outside!

There is air conditioning and heating, and the cottage is fully insulated and electric blanket for winter.

A car is best, however is a bus stop 500m from the cottage.

Rustic luxury
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.

Eggcellent Stay
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.

A really nice experience
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 !

Rustic in a quiet location
We looked forward to our stay here and while our stay was comfortable, there were a few things that threw us off. Let's start with the positive. The WIFI was excellent, the ability to watch wildlife in the evening was amazing, seeing Barry (the local bat and his friends who do live in the attic) was fun and the size of the cabin was just perfect. The walk into town was exactly 1.5 miles and you never heard road noise or farm animals during your stay. I am bummed we missed the goats. The few negatives that I would add are the ad makes it seem rustic but very modern inside. That is only true for the bathroom shower. Also, they say they pride themselves in cleanliness and I would say you will have to realize that you are staying in a old cabin on a farm. Cobwebs and dead bugs everywhere, mouse poop in the kitchen area (this was not bat poop from Barry getting in.), stains on the bathroom walls and our sheets seemed off. The windows didn't shut all the way, the doors had gaps at the bottom and the screen didn't shut on the front door so you couldn't leave it open for airflow without bugs, flies and mosquitos getting in during the evening. Lastly, sometimes the workers that are there will block the driveway to get into your place. This was odd, but we were able to work with it. These things are more of a for your information so as not to be surprised like us. Let's end on a high note. This is a chicken farm and so they leave you a dozen eggs which are delicious! They also leave you a bottle of sparkling and some chocolate. Those were nice welcome gifts. The property management company is very fast in responding to anything you need and communicating with the owners if need be. In closing. We enjoyed our stay but couldn't give it 5 stars.

The cottage was absolutely beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our dog couldn’t be happier running around in the fields and relaxing on the front porch. The location is perfect. Close to beaches and also a lot of hiking tracks. The perfect getaway to relax and rejuvenate. Highly recommend!!!

Quiet and Convenient
A quaint rustic destination (both in fact, and by additional fabricated design features) which had all the mod cons we needed and did not disappoint. We didn't have any bat encounters but think that we could hear some high pitched squeaks from time to time. A bit of wombat activity. We found the advice regarding door locking a bit amusing- tenants are advised to lock the front door should they need to go out . A bit pointless , as every window-except one- had no locks on it and was easily opened. Didn't worry us though. It has been exceptionally wet, but even so, some gravel or similar on the driveway wouldn't go astray. It is very muddy and rutted in sections, there was a bit of traction loss in the boggiest bits, and we had to be careful exactly where we parked, to minimise the chances of stepping out into a muddy patch. But we loved the verandah and it's furniture where we could comfortably remove muddy shoes before entering

Great spot of Rustic nostalgia
Easy to find close to Kangaroo Valley township and cafes - a step back in time - nicely renovated but basic cottage- great to have the coffee machine first thing in the morning. Loved being able to have our 2 year old Jack Russell with us, kangaroos in back paddock and a wombat nearby. The fire pit was great out the back to have nibbles and a glass of bubbles or wine- The bed was very comfy and we didn’t encounter the micro bats thankfully.
