We love Koala products so much. We have a bed, pillows and now a sofa. It’s so comfy. I love the material and colour. Comfy and earthy Show details
Great quality and practical storage drawers underneath. Easy to clean as well! Recommended.
We ordered the Getaway Sofa chaise 3-seater in the lovely green (Kakadu). Very quick delivery and easy to set up. Though it was easy to set up if you have spare cash it might be worth paying extra for them to setup the couch and get rid of the boxes. The sofa is extremely comfortable and suits our living room perfectly. The adjustable chaise is great too, we can arrange it accordingly to suit our living space. Very happy with our purchase!

Super comfy sofa, well priced and easy to put together. Very durable and looks amazing! Show details
The couch is a great and comfy option. The drawers underneath are very handy to store options. We also have enough room on the couch for guests to comfortably sleep on. My only downside is the fabric pills easily and is not a great option for pets as their claws snag. Show details
Amazing quality sofa! Matches the room so perfectly and so comfortable
Have had this sofa for 2 years and it is incredibly comfortable and held up very well!
Very disappointing! Bought this couch about 9 months ago, now it looks 9 YEARS old,what a waste of money. In the advertisement and in the photos.it looks amazing,but in reality it’s not worth it. Couch cushions look old,full of fluff and have lost there bounce,the cushions look sagged and depleted with no bounce. What a waste of nearly $2000,wish… Read more
I checked the reviews before buying this lemon. People,don’t believe the 5 star ratings,they could all be scams and fakes.
Warning to all,don’t waste your money on this couch,you will be disappointed!
Ended up buying a different brand after owning this for 1 year – The seat cushions continue to move when you sit on them and you are always finding yourself adjusting them to the back so there is no gap that the back cushion fall into. The cushions get a sag on them when you sit after not long owning. The side and back panels fabric isn't removable so you have no way to wash them with the pillow cases, so… Read more
they end up being a different colour and dirty, especially if you have dogs that walk past them.
After spending $3,500 on a couch, a year later I have purchased a different brand because I am so disappointed with it.
G'day George, we are absolutely gutted to hear about your… Read more (+1 reply)
Warning don’t buy the Getaway sofa chaise – So it had been 10 months since getting the Getaway sofa chaise. The sofa had just gotten worse over time. I knew there were issues when it first arrived but just so disappointed at the quality I had to write another review to warn others. None of the cushion has kept its shape no matter how much we adjusted it daily. The filling is so bad that… Read more
it’s more comfortable sitting on the floor with our pillows and cushions. For nearly $3k I really wish I brought a different sofa. It hadn’t even been 12 months and I’m thinking of getting a new one

Superb for maximising seating and storage in small spaces – Clear instructions for easy assembly. Perfect for my small room- maximizes seating space without large arm rests. Love the storage under the couch too. Very happy with this product. Show details
Great quality, stylish sofa – We love our getaway sofa, we went for the Kakadu and it looks great in our living room. It’s really comfortable, great quality and super stylish. Delivery was easy (as it always is with koala) and putting it together was really simple. The ottoman is a great addition too. Show details
Perfect!! – The couch is one of the most comfortable couches I’ve sat on. So easy and quick to put together, and simple to fold out into a bed. The material is amazing quality wouldn’t change a thing about the couch Show details

Great sofa, no complaints! – Very comfortable, needed a smaller sofa to fit in an awkward space and it’s perfect, it feels large and roomy and so comfortable for a 2 seater, plus the added storage underneath is such a bonus.
Great sofa, great service! – We got a great deal on the Getaway sofa in Koalas black friday sales. We loved that we could pick from lots of different sizes and setups for the couch, and opted for the 3 seater + chaise, in the penguin parade material, as it fit best in our space. What really sold me was the under couch storage drawers, I thought this was a fantastic storage… Read more
solution!
We also loved that we had the 120 night trial to be able to test and return if it wasn't for us, as our last couch purchase from a different company left us very unhappy and stuck with an awful couch. I have also purchased several pillows from Koala over the years and have been very happy with both the product and service so figured it was worth a shot!
There was a large wait for us to receive our couch - we ordered online on 24/11/2023 and didn't receive it until 12/04/24, however they were very clear upfront before we had even completed the purchase that the couches were on backorder and the earliest delivery wasn't until March.
There were then several delays due to the floods in Qld, but Koala were transperant and constantly giving us updates with plenty of notice of changes to expected delivery dates. They were also clear that the delivery would be numerous large boxes, so it was good to have that expectation ahead of time! We can't fault their customer service, it was fantastic.
The delivery went smoothly, and it was a piece of cake to put together. We also really appreciated that the packaging was almost entirely cardboard! So much easier to dispose of than styrofoam and plastic.
The couch itself we are incredibly happy with! It's is VERY comfortable. When you first unpack it you may notice a few "dips" in the seats, but these even out and go away after a few days once it has time to fluff up.
The under couch storage is fantastic and there is a lot of room, great for cushions or blankets, or gaming headsets/controllers.
Our only complaints, though I wouldn't really call it that, are:
- the cushions to support your back slip down easily and then push the seat cushions out a bit, but is easily fixed with a quick fluff/reposition at the end of the night - the couch is a little low if you want to sit a bit more forward on the seats with your feet on the floor instead of leaning back, so feels like your knees are too high - if you have pets (we have 2 cats) that are inclined to use the couch as a scratching post the fabric instantly balls/pulls. Our cats never used to do this on our old couches, but they decided to also test out the new couch! They quickly got bored and stopped, but it's very noticeable considering they only had a few cheeky scratches. But as with any piece of furniture we knew the pets were likely to make it look a bit loved, and we can most likely clean it up by using a de-piller.
Overall we are really really happy with our purchase and would highly recommend purchasing through Koala! Though I would advise waiting for one of their sales, as we saved $1,500 off the price of ours! My husband often falls asleep on the couch it is that comfortable :)
The couch of my dreams! – This sofa is my new favourite place to be in my home. Once I plop down on it, it’s hard to get back up. The fabric is a dream for anyone with pets. It's a breeze to clean, which is a lifesaver considering my cats treat it like their personal playground. And the thick cushion fabric has held up like a champ against their clawing. And as for the… Read more
storage… living in a small apartment, every inch of space counts, and the built-in storage in this sofa is fantastic. I can stash away all my clutter, and the drawers slide right out for easy cleaning. I did have to wait a few months for delivery, but it was worth the wait!
Koala Gataway with Chaise - Review – We recently got the Koala Getaway Lounging Sofa with Chaise, and it’s quickly become our favourite spot in the house. Here’s why we love it: Awesome Storage: The 3 drawers underneath are a game-changer. They’re perfect for storing blankets, pillows, and all the little things that usually end up cluttering the living room. Super Comfy: This sofa… Read more
is insanely comfortable. Whether we’re sitting or lying down, it’s always cozy and supportive. It’s the perfect place to relax after a long day.
Cat Approved: Our cats are obsessed with this sofa! The material holds up well against their claws, making it a great choice for pet owners.
Easy Delivery and Setup: The delivery was a breeze. The sofa arrived in boxes the next day, and putting it together was super easy thanks to the clear instructions.
Low Maintenance: We’ve had a few spills on it, and they wiped off easily. We haven’t tested it with red wine yet, but so far, it’s been really easy to keep clean.
Family Favorite: Our family loves it too. Everyone who visits raves about how comfortable it is, and a few of them are even thinking about getting one for themselves.
Overall, the Koala Getaway Lounging Sofa with Chaise has been a fantastic addition to our home. It’s stylish, comfortable, practical, and perfect for both humans and pets. We highly recommend it!
Excellent product, super fast delivery – I recently purchased the getaway three seater sofa along with a matching single seater. Both look amazing (outback edition) and are so comfortable. Delivery was super quick, the only issue I had was the amount of packaging involved. Napping on the sofa is better than on my bed, I think I will be investing in a Koala mattress next! 4.5 stars, rounded up. Show details
Very comfortable! – Really comfy sofa. Great for sleeping and relaxing. Highly recommend Show details
No fuss, good stuff – Great quality sofa, colours accurate to the website listing. Under-couch drawers are a godsend, and the timber finish is really classy. We purchased the Ottoman, too. Happy days! Show details
Excellent no-frills sofa for a family – The sofa is fantastic. Great sofa when you have kids around. They probably won’t last forever but given the kids we know it’s not gonna last forever anyway. Delivery came right when they said it would. Not too difficult to put together. Show details
Comfortable and spacious – Very comfortable couch, this is our second Koala couch and we couldnt be happier! Love how easy it is to assemble and wash the covers when needed! The size is perfect as well! Show details

Versatile and comfortable – We're thrilled with our new sofa! It’s so comfy. Assembly was a breeze, and its versatility is a game-changer. The storage underneath is a lifesaver for keeping blankets and lounge room essentials neatly tucked away. Highly recommend! Show details
Good experience – Super easy couch to put together and is very comfortable. Love the fabric Only issue is with the draws, which just roll on the floor rather than attached tracks, and having tiled floors, the draws make a bit of noise. I have had to buy a rug so combat the issue, which has worked Would love to have the option to have double chaise. Have purchased a ottoman, which is great, but again moves easily Show details
Great koala couch – Fantastic couch, very comfortable and luxurious. We love the storage underneath and its modern look. Koala have been very helpful and were clear about any delays in manufacturing/delivery when we ordered. Looking forward to purchasing from them again in the future. Show details
Great lounge - easy construction – Really love the lounge. Good quality and had lots of fun putting it together with my 4 1/2 year old daughter - super easy! Show details
Great Couch – Really good couch. Note the back and bottom cushions have zippers and can be washed. I was told by them this wasn't possible which is really wierd. Maybe they thought I was talking about the clothed frame? Also the drawers are not amazing but are functional. They wheel out and require a bit of arranging but they aren't all that bad and not worth complaining about.
Comfy and practical lounge – We love our new koala lounge! Not only was it super easy to set up but it’s comfortable for our whole family. Plus bonus with storage drawers underneath. Such a clever design! Show details
Close to perfect but with a major flaw – The sofa is super comfortable, lovely material and well designed, except for one part (or two) - the drawers. They won't run on the couch frame, but rather just roll on the floor underneath the seats. There are two major problems with this. Firstly, they don't move together either together with each other or the sofa, so any movement of one… Read more
has no effect on the other. It's unsightly and inconvenient as you're constantly pushing it back together.
Secondly, the cushions overhang the top of the face of the drawers, so when they're empty (we haven't filled ours yet) any legs hanging over the front of the cushions, causes the drawers to jump up at their rear, resulting in an awful bang every time they drop.
It's a significant design flaw and has a disproportionately negative experience on an otherwise fantastic sofa.
Super comfy and easy to put together – Love our new couch, absolutely the easiest build I’ve done and so so comfortable to sit on. Show details
An ideal sofa for a small space – The Koala 2-seater sofa is perfect for a small space. It is roomy enough for more than two people, (or one and a boisterous pup), comfortable, durable fabric and easy to maintain . With the addition of the huge footstool anyone, or two, can stretch out and relax into the gorgeous cushions. Enough support for a tired body, enough softness that you can sink in and relax. We love it. A really attractive practical addition to our beach home.
Couldn't be happier with our Getaway Sofa and Ottoman! – My wife and I ordered the penguin parade version of the getaway couch. It looks beautiful and comfortably fits two taller people lying down and three sitting up. We have a small apartment so the narrow ends maximise our space in the living room. The material is unbelievably comfortable and durable. We have spilt water and it stayed on the surface… Read more
to be easily wiped off!
The set up was very easy, you dont need to tighten the edges of the frame too hard as o did at first. 5 stars across the board for us.
Very comfy couch – Really comfy couch. Looks good, was delivered quickly and very easy to assemble. Would definitely recommend Show details
Wonderful Getaway! – I love my new sofa! Easy assembly, fast delivery and very comfortable! The three-seater doubles easily as a guest bed if needed and the drawers are quite roomy to add some much needed storage to my living room. Show details
