Elm Cottage where everlasting memories and friendships are made. This internationally recognised farmstay in the foothills of the snowy mountains was the brainchild of Deborah and David Sheldon. They had a dream and were prepared to make that dream a reality…. a holiday destination for everyone where families can reconnect, loved ones spend that quality time together, star gazers, twitchers, anglers, bushwalkers or those just looking for that perfect get away to clear the mind relax and recharge their batteries away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Over the past 18 years Deborah and David have transformed Elm Cottage from an overstocked drought ravaged small 62 acre farm into a the ideal holiday destination halfway between Sydney and Melbourne and short drive from the nation’s capital Canberra. Elm Cottage opened for business in 2004 with just 2 cottages River Gum and Blue Gum and over the past 14 years developed a further 3 cottages, 4 spaced at 80 metres apart providing each with privacy while the 5th cottage River’s Edge is some 600 metres away. River’s Edge is a delightfully renovated old managers quarters from the original sheep station that sits just 18 metres from the river bank Slowly but deliberately the Sheldon’s have grown the business ensuring never to lose sight of their original plan in providing an accommodation standard that is second to none and has their valued customers totally at ease with their unobtrusive customer service. Not only have the Sheldon’s grown the business on sustainable lines they undertaken a revegetation program and carbon emission reduction plans that includes a substantive program to re-introduce the endangered Tumut Grevillea, while planting over 4000 native trees and shrubs and introduction of solar and battery storage. As Deborah says ‘We must be doing something right 75% of our visitors are returns with most guest staying with us for 5 nights or more.
