The Property and Surrounds

The house is situated on 42 wonderfully private and peaceful acres of native bush which is very varied and fun to explore following the walking track which circuits the property. Large cleared grassy areas run down from the house in all directions allowing the kids to run riot without disturbing anyone and the trampoline is always a hit. A rustic bike circuit and country style cricket pitch add to the fun for the outdoor types both young and older.

The house has verandas front and back with comfy old couches to relax on as the stress melts away just relaxing and admiring the gorgeous views

Much of the property is undisturbed native bush which is home to a variety of wildlife including many wombats, wallabies and the occasional echidna. The birdlife is prolific with rosellas, cockatoos and king parrots just a few of the birds you can hope to spot. Megalong Creek forms the northern boundary of the property and this is a great place to have a paddle and cool off on a hot summers day. Walks are numerous from the house and around the valley and there is fantastic horse riding available just a few minutes drive away.

Beautiful getaway
We had an amazing time during our stay, from organizing details with the hosts until we left the property. The house is large, full of character and very clean. Communication with the hosts was always on point and immediate when required, and whole experience was just amazing. The nature, the area, being surrounded by mountains and trees and walking out into the magnificent property and the land was absolutely priceless. Daily sightings of wallabies, kangaroos, unusual birds we’ve never seen in Sydney, and magic all around us. I was very sad leaving indeed.

Breathtaking spot!
My family and i had a lovely stay at Zoellas for 3 nights this week.. From the moment we arrived we were met with wallabies and rosella and there was endless wildlife to enjoy watching.. The property is remote which is what we were after, nothing but the sound of silence and nature..(but still only a 10min drive to The Tea House) The house is very well equipped with every kind of kitchen utensil on offer and endless board games for the kids..The piano and guitar were a lovely addition for us..Walks on the property to the giant rocks and caves were also a highlight of our stay (especially for our 6 and 7yr old kids)..

Relaxing stay in a lovely home
Zoellas is comforting, warm and inviting. The property is very private and lent itself to the relaxing weekend we all had in mind. Suzanne is a wonderful host and goes out of her way to make her guests feel welcome. I highly recommend staying at Zoellas in Megalong Valley.

Great family weekend
Zoellas was the perfect place for a family weekend away. Directions were clear to get to the property, even if the rain made the roads a little more exciting! Once we were there, we didn't want to leave. Perfect place to relax and enjoy the beautiful views, take walks on the property and enjoy the cooler weather.

Beautiful quiet location, restful.
We loved staying here- the valley is magical- amazing views and atmosphere. Well equipped and welcoming homely house with great verandah. Warmer than Blackheath and we ended up leaving the door open at night despite no fly screens in bedroom. Great for family reunion.

Zoellas - wonderful
After a solid week of heavy rain I was concerned about the dirt roads and creek crossing in a lower than typical sedan. We contacted Suzanne on Friday morning and she kindly kept us informed of creek levels and other issues throughout the day. The driveway is a challenge in a lower than typical car and needs to be done very slowly and very carefully. We arrived on a very wet, cold and foggy Friday evening and it was delightful to find the fireplace ready to go on our arrival, it just needed to be lit and it warmed us and the house very quickly :). The house is roomy, well equipped and comfortable. There was plenty of room and everything else for the 6 adults on our weekend away. The outlook from every room is beautiful, but particularly spectacular from the lounge room, verandah and front bedrooms. Seeing wallabies on the property and feeding the birds in the morning was a delight. Under cover parking is plentiful in the barn about 30 metres from the house. We were in Megalong Valley to attend a wedding at the Dry Ridge Estate Winery, which is only 15 minutes away. Our double bed was too soft in the middle, but that aside, we would highly recommend Zoellas if you want a quite, very comfortable place to stay with spectacular nature surrounding you.

What a fabulous place !!!
For us, this place is close to our definition of heaven on earth ! It's not only the view (which is gorgeous), but the peacefulness of the place: when you step out in the morning, it is just you and the birds (rosellas, parrots, etc) and maybe a couple of wallabies. No one else around. No other sound around. And you have the whole property for yourself. There are lots of indoor and outdoor games for the kids. The lounge with the fireplace is very cosy, and the fireplace is efficient enough to keep the whole house warm. But the patio is definitely the best place to relax, with its rocking chair and hammock. We'll sure be back !

Just delightful!
A delightful property and it seems we had a very similar experience to just about everyone else that has stayed and reviewed Zoellas. We arrived on Friday afternoon to find the loungeroom fireplace and the outdoor firepit already lit ready for our arrival. Nice touch! The outlook from the verandah is brilliant. Its impossible not to feel totally chilled out in about 3mins. We were a group of 8 adults and we enjoyed relaxing on the verandah area at nearly every hour of the day. We had perfect autumn weather and I'm not sure it could get any better....shhh, dont tell anyone. All the facilities in the house were as described and very comfortable. We were in the area to attend a wedding at the nearby Dry Ridge Estate Winery, which is also brilliant and worth a visit. The drive into the Valley is worth the trip alone and it's topped off crossing the babbling brook that is Megalong Creek on arrival at Zoellas. We all hope to return one day soon. Thanks for the stay.

About the host

Hosted by Suzi

Host profile image
We're a family of 4 with 2 kids who live in Sydney. We spent 2 wonderful years living at the property before the kids started high school. We love the outdoors and are slowly nibbling away at the property to make it more accessible but we just love coming here to escape the city and are very happy to be able to share it with other people.

Why they chose this property

The property is hard to capture on photographs. There is a and tranquility about it which you can only experience by being there. There's so much space to relax and spend time with friends and family but enough different areas to have me time too. The wildlife is amazing with regular visits from wallabies and wombats, amazing birds and the occasional echidna if you are lucky. The days pass with an ever changing array of sounds of the bush and sights as the weather rolls around the mountains. It is typically 5-10 degrees warmer in the valley than up in the towns of the mountains so while it may be freezing in Blackheath, we can be enjoying balmy sunshine in the valley. It is a place to truly relax and unwind, surrounded by the beauty of the bush and with space to explore and run around, or just sit and take it all in while you recharge.

What makes this property unique

Peace and tranquility, amazing views, wildlife visiting every day, fabulous birdlife, stunning night skies, red rocks of the escarpment at sunset.
