Blowering Dam is where Ken Warby set the world water speed record and is just 10 minutes from Elm Cottage. Here you can go water skiing, windsurfing and it is a great spot for fishing enthusiasts with rainbow trout, brown trout, golden perch, cod and refin to be caught.

Peaceful and Relaxing

Our stay was brilliant, the check in process was super easy, the property was exactly as advertised, and our questions were answered in a very prompt manner! The surrounding area was absolutely stunning, free and easy access to the river and the paddocks was a welcome adventure for our two small dogs. We all had a great time, thank you!!!

Peaceful

This was our second visit. Even with an infant i am always able to be tranquil and actaully feel like i am on holiday. The views are stunning and the river is beautifully clear. Baby loved the morning visits from the cows. It's also our dogs (border collie) favourite get away too. The service you receive here is great and we feel so cared for. Needless to say we will be back again in the future, only downfall is that we didnt book a longer stay.

River get away

This is a great place to unwind. The owners have put a lot of work and thought to the layout of the property, even cutting tracks through the paddock areas. We had our dog with us who loved exploring, fishing and swimming with us. We hope to be back soon!!

Excellent place to stay with great amenities and location

What a beautiful find ! At the base of the snowy mountains with amazing views and a short drive form Tumut . The riverside Walk on the property is amazing and we were able to spot wombats . I loved the location . So much attention to detail . Even a covered car port . Rooms and space and wifi were perfect. I would easily come back. Plus the hosts were great and gave great advice about getting to the mountains

Nature at its best!

Gorgeous location with the birds whistling away, green rolling hills and the river sounds with the water flowing sooo relaxing to ebb away the stresses of life. A very comfortable cottage to feel at home with all of the necessities. Pooch friendly a major bonus and a joy to bring along our little dog which is important for us. Thankyou!

Utter Perfection

Perched high and built to take in amazing 180 degree views of the river. Ultra modern, really spacious, with the owners close by, but not in our personal space. Fantastic enclosed yard for our 2 little dogs (chicken wired) meant complete peace of mind and a real holiday for us. Everything you need. Amazing fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher. Comfy lounges, comfy king size bed, all linen provided, air conditioning. We WILL be back! (If we're lucky!)

Beautiful, Peaceful and Very Accomodating!

The property was incredible, such beautiful surroundings. The cottage was clean, comfortable and a huge tick being dog friendly! Very accommodating, allowing our last minute booking and late arrival. Turning the heater and lights on for our arrival was a great touch for us! We will return, unbelievably happy with our stay!!!!
