Experience the uniqueness of Thompson's Hut. Built in the early 1900's as a shelter for those cattlemen on the Snowy Plains while caring for their livestock during unpredictable mountain weather.

It was relocated to our property several years ago, and we have undertaken a sensitive restoration process to retain the essence of the hut while adding a few modern comforts.

Thompson's Hut is a cozy cabin with original and updated features warmed by a wood heater. Two incredibly comfortable vintage chairs encircle the fireplace for great story telling and enough space for other evening activities.

Snuggle up in the Queen sized bed with beautifully soft Cultiver linen sheets, or relax in the cosy chair with a good book by the window warmed with morning sun.

Additional Information

While there are no internal doors within hut, we have installed a privacy curtain between the kitchen area and bathroom. We have a step-in bath where you can soak using Hunter Lab pinot grape skin bath salts, while enjoying a glass of wine. We also have a linen robes for our guests to use after their baths.

We appreciate you using water wisely.

Thompson's Hut is supplied with Hunter Lab products for hand and body. Cultiver and L&M is our bed linen of choice.

We have a very functional and well equipped kitchen, however, we do not have an oven in Thompson's Hut. We have a portable induction cooktop and electric frypan. Aside from this, you are also welcome to try slow cooking your meals on the wood heater using the cast-iron cookware... though please keep the pots off the fireplace when not in use and perhaps don't leave your cooking unattended. :)

We believe in drinking good wine and whisky with great friends from beautiful glassware and trust you will enjoy this too.

We stock a basic pantry, which includes:
- Ground Coffee Beans from Snowy Mountains Coffee
- BlackTea from T2
- Hot Chocolate & Marshmallows from Grounded Pleasure
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Salt & Pepper.

We recommend you pop into Woolworths or the grocer in Jindabyne for your supplies and milk if you take it. Jindabyne is 6km down the road and has many restaurants, pubs and take-away options.
***We do not have a microwave at Thompson's Hut***

The hut has a VERY efficient wood fire to provide our guests with a warm and a cozy atmosphere with additional electric heating if you feel the need.

You will arrive to find a fire already set for your first night and supplies for subsequent nights: a lighter, kindling and wood.

It gets cold in the valley in the deep of winter. We have provided extra blankets throughout the hut, though please be sure to pack enough warm clothing if you are planning to stay through the cooler months.

There is limited phone access but have provided WIFI for our guests.

We do not have a television in Thompson's Hut.

You will have access to Thompson's Hut including its 'home paddock' with the exception of locked storage rooms and the upstairs attic.

You are welcome to explore the 55 acre property at your own risk. We only ask that you shut gates, do not touch farm equipment or enter the shearing shed, and exercise caution at all times, especially around animals, barbed wire fences and on the uneven ground.

lease note, Thompson's Hut is not suitable for pets due to the delicate nature of its furnishings and the possible disturbance to livestock on the farm.

The step-in shower over the bath means this listing might not suit those who have mobility issues.

We wish for Thompson's hut to be as sustainable as possible. We use Ecoyo and Koala Eco products for cleaning and have installed a compostable toilet. Full instructions will be provided within our house manual and at time of booking. Please be advised that this toilet is VERY clean and does not smell.

It is essential for our guests to have travel insurance. It is possible - though rare - during the winter months that roads closed temporarily due to snow or ice can disrupt travel plans. As this is a travel issue outs our control rather than an issue with our listing, we don't issue refunds or extend stays due to usually being fully booked and recommend you contact your insurer to assist with any costs associated with disrupted travel arrangements.

Photography shoots can be arranged by mutual agreement and will incur a location fee.

Hi there! We are a family of seven and for as long as we can remember we have loved the Snowy Mountains region. During the winter we ski and enjoy the mountains in all their wild and snowy glory but when the summer comes we love to hike and mountain bike the trails in the region. The best part of any day is being able to come back to our warm home, enjoying a meal together and reminiscing the highlights of the day with a warm chai or hot chocolate or in the summer, a crisp beer!
