Snowy River Cabins

Since we didn't stay in a town as such on our trip to the snow, I thought a post about our accommodation was warranted. I had come across mention of Snowy River Cabins on Facebook a while ago & liked the page thinking it would be a nice place to stay some time. Since it was very reasonable for the 5 of us + not too far away from the snow, we decided to try it out on this road trip.

We spent 4 nights there arriving in mid afternoon. Due to there being no mobile coverage, I had printed the instructions so we could find it. We found the instructions mostly straightforward. As we pulled up to check the last turn, Brendan pulled up beside us & we followed him the last part.

Our kids love animals & were very excited to see the dogs that greeted us. They were even more excited to meet the orphaned joeys that were inside - Miss 12 even got a cuddle of one. Brendan, Haley & the boys brought an echidna they had found to show the kids later that night. And we had several visits from Trigger the cat. In fact Trigger made herself very comfortable on the kids beds on several occasions! 

Brendan booked us in & pointed us in the direction of Cabin Number 2. Inside we found a cozy cabin. The kids slept in the main room while we had a smallish but quite adequate second room. The kitchen was well equipped & included a small fridge, stove top & microwave. Being made from cedar, the cabin proved to be very warm - we found we only needed to use the column oil heater. There were some other fan heaters but we found we didn't need them.

We had a lovely view through the bush of the surrounding countryside & the start of the Snowy River. The kids enjoyed exploring some of the bush around us. It was lovely sitting on the verandah listening to not much more than the birds & a few distant cows.

On our last night we decided to have a campfire in the rock fire pit outside the cabin. There is also a wood BBQ, but we used the butane BBQ we carry with us to cook on. It was lovely to relax outside watching the flames & toasting marshmallows.

We could have easily spent several more days there enjoying the peace & quiet - no TV or mobile phone to contend with! There were a range of games in the cabin that the kids excitedly made us play through at least once. 

We're already planning our next stay at Snowy River Cabins, hopefully in summer this time so we can have a go at catching some trout! And a chance to just hang out around the cabin, enjoying more peace & quiet.
