Gary is a salt of the earth, warm and welcoming. The cabin is everything that the pictures show. Isolated, warm, tranquil, beautiful. My wife and I had a remarkable few days forgetting about the world and enjoying the Snowy Mountains. We will be back!

Peaceful quiet slice of paradise

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bush Grove, the place was comfortable and had all the creature comforts of home while still feeling like a cozy log cabin in the woods. The location is great, only a short run into town but still feel like you’re out in the bush.

Great place!

Awesome highland property backing onto the river. Cozy but large cabin with everything you might need. A fireplace to keep you warm overnight and a river to fish down the hill… doesn’t get much better than that!

A great break

Great accommodation and settling to get away and relax. great walks (steep down to the river) and great views of the main range from the top of the property. The cottage was cosy (we enjoyed the fireplace) and it had all we needed and more, for our short stay.

Beautiful bush setting

Fantastic stay at Bushgrove. Great to be able to cruise down to the river for fishing, sit around the cabin having a few drinks and watch all the wildlife come and go. Bushy is a great host and very welcoming. Cabin has everything you need for a good comfortable couple of days.

Authentic Snowy River stay

A rustic, studio style cottage in the Jindabyne countryside, interesting decor and artwork. convenient to town. Every comfort, with good heating for cold weather. Bushy was helpful and friendly and we appreciated the phone call with directions. Recommended if you fancy a real bush style experience, but like the comforts of home. Lots of wildlife around and not too far too Thredbo.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bush Grove. Garry was an excellent host and checked in regularly to see if there was anything we needed/wanted. He was great in providing ideas on where to go and what to see. The view from the property is amazing. Access down to the Snowy River an added bonus. The location was perfect being only 10 minutes out of Jindabyne and 45 mins to Thredbo.

Getaway

We enjoyed our 5 days in the peaceful and tranquil setting Bushy has created. We felt we were on top the world looking out every picture framed window around us. The art work and interiors in the studio are beautiful and tasteful. We enjoyed the path down to the picturesque river with Bushy’s dog. Thank you again for sharing this beautiful place.

Beautiful Bush Hideaway

Bush grove was just what my soul needed. What an amazing place! Amazing, creative, quirky, cozy and well appointed. Not the mention the beautiful views (breathtaking at sunrise) and the animals - domestic and wild. Bushy (Gary) was a friendly easy going host who had great stories to tell and was very generous. The snowy river at the bottom of the property is a definite must do - so peaceful. Thanks for the great stay Bushy, we will definitely be back

Character-filled Snowy River experience!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bush Grove. Everywhere you turn there is something to delight - both inside and out. From the hand-crafted furnishings, the stunning artwork, the beautiful outlook from the front windows and the gorgeous riverfront a short (albeit rough) drive from the cabin. Bushy has ensured that the cabin has everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Internet is patchy, which didn’t really worry us, but might be worth knowing if that’s important for some reason. We hope to return to soak up the ambience that Bush Grove offers.

Beautiful Bushman’s Retreat

The vibe is rustic, man from Snowy River with sweeping views of the country landscape. In winter the landscape is less green but nonetheless beautiful with its earthy tones of greys, greens and browns punctuated by vibrant oranges, purples and yellows. Picturesque and cosy we enjoyed our winter nights by the fire and found ourselves taking morning drives on the long winding road from the property taking in the beauty of the land while watching deer and kangaroo jump along in the fields beside us. It was a great location not too far from the centre of the city so getting dinners and breakfasts in town is easy enough. The host was lovely and you can tell the love and pride that went into building up his property
