Elm Cottage

Just spent a week at Elm Cottages, Tumut with our dog Bonnie. We stayed in Blue Gum Cottage, it was very spacious for the 3 of us. Dog allowed inside, lovely king size bed. Our view to the river below our cottage was perfect. We were amazed at the mixture of bird life, the view of the river from every aspect of the property and the total relaxed feel about the place. There were so many places along the river frontage you could walk to.Our hosts Deb and David make you feel very welcome and their hospitality was very much appreciated. We are definitely looking to go back again. Thank you Deb for organising Tom's Fly Fishing trip with Dave Hawthorne, who is a great instructor and Tom really appreciated his pointers and expertise.

We just had 4 days and 3 nights in River Cottage at Elm Cottages. We had the most amazing stay. Such beautiful countryside, the river is clean and beautiful, our dogs ran free and happy. Deb and Dave are so hospitable, friendly and accommodating. Beautiful peaceful setting where other people were on the property but you never saw anyone. So quiet and gorgeous. The Cabin was extremely clean and comfortable with everything you need. A definite must for us to go back and take the whole family with friends and their families

Wonderful stay about 10 min out of Tumut. Very clean facilities with everything you need. We had a great time and will try to come back again.

Deb and David went above and beyond to ensure our family was comfortable during our two week stay. River's Edge cottage and beautiful surroundings were perfect for our family. The kitchen was well equipped and we felt right at home. Looking forward to coming back.

My partner and I have just spent the best 4 days we have had in a very long time. The cottage we were in was great, comfort wise and location over looking the river. The serenity that surrounds Elm Cottage was brilliant. I could not recommend Elm Cottage any higher. As a matter of fact after this review is written I am contacting them to book another stay.

I have lost count of how many stays I have had here over the years. It is the first place I think of when I just need to get away and chill. The owners are down to earth and incredibly respectful of their environment and I get to enjoy all of their hard work. The accommodation is always clean and well appointed and any extra needs happily met. The best parts are the tranquility, the sound of the river, the incredible bird life and of course the welcome mat out for the dogs to enjoy it all as part of the family.

we had a 5 night stay on blue gum cottage, 3 adults & our 2 dogs Lillie & milo. The cabin was cosy & clean, the views were amazing, listening to the river the wild life was so relaxing was so quite at night had the best night sleep beds were warm & comfortable.Thank you Deb ,& David for an unforgettable stay.

Glorious location, private, dog-friendly, great bird watching, super comfortable and exceeds expectations.We stayed in the River's Edge cottage - a solid, old, comfy place, with all the mod cons, just metres from the gentle and scenic Goobarragandra River. The front wood floor portion of the cottage can be closed off so humans and dogs can relax together and the dogs also have a beautiful, safe and fully fenced half acre to explore. The heating and bedding were perfect and every morning, the sun flooded the garden. We explored the Elm Cottage grounds, particularly around the river frontage, where the owners have thoughtfully planted native trees and bushes to encourage a wealth of honeyeaters, fairy-wrens, thornbills, finches and many others. The owners are friendly and welcoming and, at the same time, really gave us the space and privacy we were after. The entire site is absolutely beautiful. I don’t think I’ve ever sat in one place for so long, just taking in the beauty, the peace and the privacy. In our experience of seeking dog-friendly places, the Rivers Edge cottage absolutely exceeded expectations. The owners are also dog lovers and made it clear to us that our dogs were very welcome. This was wonderful. As bird watchers, the entire Elm Cottage grounds are truly a gem. My husband was thrilled to be able to photograph birds at Elm Cottage’s long and stunning river frontage, as well as after easy drives to other great birding sites. Anyone interested in native birds and plants will love it. Elm Cottage must be experienced to be appreciated.

What a brilliant place! We have been coming here as a couple or family group for more than 15 years. The property is beautiful- surrounded on three sides by the Goobragandra River and full of wildlife and places to relax or picnic. Dog and kid friendly but never crowded or noisy. You feel a 1000km from anywhere. The houses (not rooms") have all mod cons and the beds are comfortable. Wifi and phone reception are excellent. Deb and Dave are perfect hosts."

We stayed at Elm cottage for 2 nights during July 2020 and our experience was nothing short of perfect. Scenery was amazing, our 4 bedroom home was complete with absolutely everything available, beds were super comfy...honestly could not fault a single thing!Dave and Deb, you guys are awesome! We look forward to visiting again very soon. Thank you for everything, this is a must for anyone thinking to visit Tumut!
