This cosy cabin, approx 25 minutes from town, is exactly as pictured. While the surrounding 100 acres are secluded, the cabin isn't. The owner Gary lives in his home with his 3 friendly dogs, 6 or so metres away.Driving to the cabin is via 5.5km of smooth dirt n pot holed road. Before booking, if not in a 4WD, best to check with Gary if your car will be OK on this road. While the cabin is stocked with things like dishwashing powder, washing machine powder, a couple of rolls of toilet paper, a litre of UHT milk, hand sanitiser, salt/ pepper, a small bag of coffee beans, plenty of crockery and cutlery as well as two small saucepans, a skillet and two very worn, scratched teflon frying pans, if you are planning to make your meals there, you'll need to BYO anything else inc water. As a word of warning, ask Gary for what you need during the day, not the night, especially if it is more than one item. On the afternoon we arrived, Gary's last words to us were to call him if we needed anything. There was a couple of things. The wi fi password, a larger pot to make a stew in and a can opener. This was apparently too much to ask for so he decided to let us know via an angry rant when he delivered these items to us. We were told no one had ever asked for these things in 15 years. That he couldn't do everything. That we should have something else for dinner instead. That he should be charging more for the cabin. This was so undeserved and very disappointing.

Authentic Snowy River stay

A rustic, studio style cottage in the Jindabyne countryside, interesting decor and artwork. convenient to town. Every comfort, with good heating for cold weather. Bushy was helpful and friendly and we appreciated the phone call with directions. Recommended if you fancy a real bush style experience, but like the comforts of home. Lots of wildlife around and not too far too Thredbo.

Peaceful quiet slice of paradise

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bush Grove, the place was comfortable and had all the creature comforts of home while still feeling like a cozy log cabin in the woods. The location is great, only a short run into town but still feel like you’re out in the bush.

Awesome highland property backing onto the river. Cozy but large cabin with everything you might need. A fireplace to keep you warm overnight and a river to fish down the hill… doesn’t get much better than that!

Getaway

We enjoyed our 5 days in the peaceful and tranquil setting Bushy has created. We felt we were on top the world looking out every picture framed window around us. The art work and interiors in the studio are beautiful and tasteful. We enjoyed the path down to the picturesque river with Bushy’s dog. Thank you again for sharing this beautiful place.

Magnificent mountains.

We had high hopes for the surrounds during our stay due to the advertising photos, our expectations were exceeded, the venue being even more stunning. Our host Bushy was a wealth of hospitality and local area knowledge. Both of which we took full advantage of, much to his delight. We are excited to return and would highly recommend staying here to anyone who is eager for a true Snowy Mountain experience. Thanks Bushy, Michelle and Mike.
