Ideal Location and Accommodation
We had a lovely stay at Wombat Cottage. This property was very easy to find. Checking in was easy and Yvonne offered us an earlier time which was lovely of her to offer. The location is fantastic, a short (although uphill) walk to Gembrook and the local IGA, pubs and cafes are very accessable. It's also close to Olinda and Emerald Lake, we had lovely drives around the area. This property is ideal for any length of time away, it had everything we needed and although it's located next to the owner's property, it is very private. My only negative is the main bedroom had a double bed - it's been a very long time since we slept in a bed that size and we've both expanded since then!

Great country town getaway set amongst the rolling hills of Gembrook.
The perfect place to stay to immerse yourself in a small community. Local markets on the weekend, beautiful bush track walks and mountain bike trails and great places to eat. The town swells in size when the steam train Puffing Billy arrives on some weekends. Everything is close to the cottage which is a very clean two-bedroom home with all that you need for a perfect holiday.
