For anyone who wants to escape the city and feel as if they've traveled a world away - this is the perfect place. The peace and quiet, the gorgeous nature, the abundant bird life, lovely hosts and Rosie the dog. Every time I come I feel like I've reset my nervous system and found my zen. I'd give it 10 stars if I could!

What an amazing experience at Wildside Sanctuary! Had the opportunity to stay in their awesome (and aptly named) Frog Hollow tiny home. The bed was so comfortable and everything was very clean and tidy. The Sanctuary is located in such a beautiful location nestled well in the Blue Mountains. The wildlife on the property is incredible and the vision that Sarah and John have for increasing wildlife on the property is admirable. I can't wait to visit again. Definitely a must do weekend escape for everyone! P.s make sure you check out Wally the Wollemi pine during your stay!

Had a great stay at Frog hollow for a weekend retreat. Sarah and John were very helpful in informing us of lots of things we could do during our stay and any wildlife hotspots on the property. Rosie the resident lab was a big highlight with her timely checkins and sunbathing sessions. We particularly enjoyed sitting on the outdoor day bed with Rosie on the spacious balcony enjoying both the morning and evening golden hours.

This is our second visit to Frog Hollow and it certainly won’t be the last 😉 such a peaceful and perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. There are also heaps of maple trees in the nearby mountain lagoon, so if you love autumn colours, make sure to check it out - it’s magical! Thanks again Sarah and John!

Had an amazing stay here! My partner and I stayed in Frog Hollow which is an amazing tiny home surrounded my nature. When we arrived, we where greeted by a large Wollemi Pine at the steps. The hosts were amazing and super passionate about nature. If you are a nature based person then I would 100% recommend staying here. Was super relaxing going to sleep with the sounds of the frogs by the dam. Great pricing and great location. 10/10!
