Oliviere was an amazing host! He came down to show us the house (and help us light the chimney!) when we first arrived. The house was perfectly designed with fully equipped kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. BBQ also available! Farm hand showed us the farm and allow us to feed the friendly animals.

Adventures on the Property

These are the exclusive natural wonders and outdoor activities within the property boundaries.

Feed The Farm Animals

With prior arraignment, how about helping to feed the Highland cattle or the cute Babydolls sheep? Collecting eggs or even meeting the Maremma guardian dog called Ted is all possible.

Farm Tour

Our host Olivier took us for a farm tour, it was pure bliss to meet and greet the animals around the farm, feeding them was so therapeutic, we could honestly spend the entire day playing with them.

Mountain Bike Riding

Hiring an E-bike from Scared Ride will allow you to discover the wonderful cultural heritage that is linked to the Lake Jindabyne. Alternatively if you are after a thrill, set your sights on Thredbo for some of the best downhill mountain bike trials in Australia.

Lake Jindabyne

The stunning Snowy Mountains town of Jindabyne is located on the edge of Lake Jindabyne. The area offers relaxing things to do, such as fishing for trout or meandering bushwalks around the water's edge. The ideal place for a lazy lakeside picnic and afternoon walk.

Scenic Drive Through Alpine Vistas

The drive through Kosciuszko national park offer you an amazing and rare sight to behold. It was misty yet moody. Could imagine how beautiful and jaw-dropping the view would be on a clear day.

Fly Fishing

Enjoy fly fishing on the Blue Ribbon declared Moonbah River - the regions most pristine trout stream. The fishing is outstanding. Expert guiding, tuition and or fly tying, can be arranged.

Horse Riding

Feel like a mountain horse ride? We've got you covered and will help you book a ride into the Snowy Mountains. Either for a short ride or even an overnight special. 1/2 ride or even longer.

Hike To The Blue Lake

An absolute must-visit when you are in the area. Only an hour drive from the property this stunning vista will be blown your mind away. It was quite a challenging hike roughly 10 km return to get to the lookout, however, the views made it all worth it. We suggest continuing along the path past the lookout, which winds its way down to the lake in order to truly appreciate its beauty.
