This two level log house was designed and constructed to blend into the hillside and the adjoining bushland, whilst opening up at the rear to take in over 20 kilometres of water views.

The full length covered side and front verandas offers the guests the option to relax and study the adundant wildlife in the bushland, or gaze out over the water that seems to go on forever.

Unlike most towns in the Snowy Mountains, Old Adaminaby is protected against the severe North/West winds that frequent the area, so whilst you can view the effects of the winds over the water, the house remains protected, and with it's 170mm solid log walls, and insulated roof, even the coldest weather cannot penetrate it.

Although the exterior of the house was designed to represent an early era of construction, the inclusions take advantage of todays technology.

Adaminaby hit the headlines in 1949, when the first blast was set off not far from the town, to signify the commencement of The Snowy Mountains Scheme.

Now in completion, it is referred to as one of the 7 enginering wonders of the world, and the house is sited in an ideal location to base your tours from.

Within easy driving times, locations such as Eucembene, Tantangra, Talbingo, and Blowering Dams can be explored as well as the power stations of Tumut 1, 2 and 3 where tours are operated year round.

Or perhaps you may like to enter the nearby Kosciuszko National Park and check out the alpine flora and fauna.

Also in this section of the Park you will find Yarrangobilly Caves that offer both self guide and guided tours through the caves as well as a swim in thermal pool (a constant 27 degrees).

There will be times when the area is subjected to the extremes that nature has to offer, so during theses times there are over 100 DVD and Videos to choose from, or load up the xboxes and have a upstairs versus downstairs battle while waiting for the weather to improve.
