tea room

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'small marsupial in side' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'refreshment place' is the wordplay.
'refreshment' becomes 'tea' (I've seen this before).
'place' becomes 'room' (I've seen this before).
'tea'+'room'='TEA-ROOM'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tea room that I've seen before include "Place in which a cuppa is served" , "Place for light refreshments" , "Where light refreshments are served" , "Small restaurant or cafe" .)
