Cottage

Fish for trout in the 2 miles of river that borders the property, plus enjoy fishing in the Tumut River and Talbingo and Blowering Dams.

Or take an exhilerating tube ride down the river. Watch the amazing birdlife or just relax on your balcony and listen to the sounds of the river below.

Blue Gum cottage (4 star) has a queen size bed in the main bedroom and a double bunk in the second bedroom.

Lounge room, eat in area, fully equipped kitchen, laundry with washing machine and dryer, and bathroom with shower. Reverse cycle heating and cooling, TV, DVD, VCR, and CD player.

A CD, video, DVD, and book library is available at no charge so you can pick a movie or movies to watch and just return on your departure. We have a good selection for both adults and children.

Being rated "4 Star " there is nothing to bring except groceries (linen and towels included) which can be purchased here in Tumut as we have both Coles and Woolworths Supermarkets which are open to midnight.

We've had more fun in our 4 days here than we've had for ages. It is God's own country and we can't wait to come back.
