Mini summer holiday

We had a great time staying here, place was clean and comfortable. Unfortunately Yarrongabilly caves was closed but we spent our time at Jounama creek and the beach area at Talbingo dam instead. Fantastic spots to have lunch or dinner while enjoying the sunset and cooling off in the water.

Currawong Cottage

We had a lovely, comfortable stay at Currawong Cottage. It's a great location to visit Selwyn and Yarrangobilly Caves and we enjoyed seeing the kangaroos and peacocks when walking around Talbingo. The house is a well equiped "home away from home" and the fireplace kept the whole house warm. We enjoyed our stay.

Home away from home

Great little house to stay in while visiting Selwyn Ski Resort. The house is cosy, well equipped and very homely. Comfy mattresses and we enjoyed the warmth of the fire. Great little town. We enjoyed some meals at Talbingo Lodge and brought the rest of our food with us. Great parks to walk too and we enjoyed all the wildlife.

Base for Mt Selwyn

Lovely relaxing location and everything we needed for our family snow trip. House was comfortable and had everything we could need for a couple of nights. Lots of twists and turns on the Snowy Mountains Hwy heading out of Talbingo to Mt Selwyn requiring careful driving was the only downside as it makes the trip to/from the snowfields feel much longer than it actually is.

Best family holiday house

Absolutely amazing property situated in a wonderful friendly community with so much to see and do. Our family of 6 (age range 36--2) stayed 5 nights and was so warm and cosy at home before venturing to the snow fields that were a 45min drive away. Large bedrooms, spacious bath and kitchen areas. We especially loved the cards and boardgames that were there for us to use. Thank you Julie and Craig Great communication by the owners and so affordable. Thanks for the memories

Cozy country home

We had a great stay, the fireplace was beautiful and kept the whole house so cozy. The kids enjoyed kicking the ball out in the backyard. The location is in walking distance to local parks. Unfortunately the local supermarket closed down, so besides a tiny cafe there no where to get any supplies. The house has new fridge and oven - but kitchen and bathroom are a bit run down. Overall we had a great stay- afternoon sun was beautiful and nice to sit out on porch with a good book. Very quiet and peaceful town. Thanks for a great stay.

A great location for families

We had a wonderful and comfortable stay. The beds were comfy and soft, the fireplace was perfect after getting back from a day at the snow in Selwyn. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. Our hosts were fantastic at accommodating our needs for our 10month old- they provided a high chair and portacot. Could not fault it. Just a note: Reception was limited/none for our friends who were with Optus and no wifi but we enjoyed some time together keeping ourselves occupied with all the beautiful surroundings outdoors!

Beautiful cottage in a lovely area

Place was exactly as described. Myself and some friends had a great time waterskiing on the dam and loved the whole area. Credit to owners who said they would refund us if the dam were not to be open. Looking forward to coming again next year.
