The bathroom and laundry are combined and are 3 steps along the verandah from the front door.

Thank you for a peaceful stay at Sonny’s Hut. The setting in the Mountains is beautiful and loved waking up to see the sun rise with the fog coming through the mountains. Cosy with the wood fire too.

Hi there! I'm a cattle farmer on the western side of the Snowies. I love the life of a farmer, but I also love getting out into the bush and there is no place better than the Snowy Mountains to do that! There's snow, beautiful creeks and rivers, hiking and camping, and excellent mountain biking. I love where I live and play and am excited to be able to share the mountains with you.
