We had a pleasant and fun short break. The place was clean and all amenities as per description. We were told about $100 cost for fire wood so we took our own. Over all we loved it and will be going back next year. Thanks Deb for hosting us.
Deb was absolutely outstanding! We had such an incredibly magical time and we had some last minute changes that Deb was so kind and compassionate to do for us :-) we will forever cherish the time on your property! My two young boys also got a farm bike ride which was INCREDIBLE! We are so thankful! Such a stunning space and property! We will be back for sure! Thanks so much Deb!

The accommodation was adequate for our needs.The cottage was close to our destination
I really enjoyed my stay. It was a home from home. Very cosy and welcoming. The hosts were very quick to respond to my messages. Overall I would highly recommend this property.
Beautiful property about 15 minutes out of Cooma, nice little house with everything that you need for your stay if its overnight or a week. Communication with host was great and no fuss.
Close to Cooma this property offers comfort, convenience and a beautiful vista from the dinner table.
We stayed here en route to the snow and enjoyed the wood stove and electric blankets!
With a fully functioning kitchen and laundry this is a great place to stay for a night or a week.

Warm cottage
A bit overpriced for the amenities. Beds comfortable. Basic country cottage.
Snowdrift cottage is absolutely gorgeous. Peaceful and welcoming. We had everything we could need and only 10 minutes from town. It was a lovely break - the visits from the pets (very friendly dog and 2 cats) made the stay that much more enjoyable.
What a wonderful stay, thank you for sharing yours a your partners piece of breathtaking, picturesque countryside. My husband an I absolutely enjoyed every moment an the snow put on a show that delighted us.
Kindest wishes an safe travels Keith an Kath
Just a one night stop over. Nice place - great bathrooms and well stocked kitchen. We took up Deb’s offer for barbecue, supplies and breakfast, which was a great help. Although it wasn’t cold enough to use the fire, it had been set ready for use which was a generous touch.
Snowdrift Cottage is as special as it looks. Rustic simplicity and modern good taste are beautifully combined so you soak up the peace while also being very comfortable. Staying on a farm with its natural beauty added to the sense of serenity. It was wonderful for a relaxing summer getaway and we can't wait to go back in winter. Thanks so much Deb.
Property is a beautiful older style house surrounded by gorgeous views. Communication with Deb was fantastic, she went out of her way to set up the fireplace, turn on the heater in one of the rooms, have her horse close by so my daughter could feed it carrots and her dog was very friendly and enjoyed pats which my 8yr old loved giving. The stay was absolutely lovely and had everything needed for a peaceful night away from the city. The property was very clean and comfortable. I would absolutely recommend this property for anyone, we really enjoyed our stay.

The property was as advertised except there was no wifi..Probably a blessing as we were there to have a break from Sydney anyway. Lovely house, clean, welcoming and well catered and heated. If you like peace and quiet, this is for you. It is also close to a lot of rivers if you are into fly fishing. Never did get to the bottom of why the area is called The Brothers.
The cottage is beautiful! We arrived to a lovely, clean house. There were fresh towels and bedding, and the kitchen was well stocked, including some fruit. There was a horse in the paddock nearby, and a lovely dog. There was so much space on the property! Best of all, the fire place was built and all ready to go. It was easy to light and gave us wonderful warmth and comfort all night. The owner was really communicative and lovely. I would definitely stay again.
