At the head of this valley, nestled between the Namadgi and Kosciousko National Parks, lies the modern Snowgums Mountain Retreat. A unique blend of un-touched Australian Bush, combined with an arboretum-like garden, complete with stunning deciduous trees, swimming and canoe lakes, rivers, wildlife and breath-taking snow-capped views. This new modern property has been featured in design magazines and is just stunning. The perfect place to get away from the 'rat race' and just chill or explore the bushland. So close to Canberra and the Snowy Mountains, yet far enough away to feel completely isolated, Snowgums is one of the most sought-after mountain escape retreats in the area. Note: A AWD or 4WD vehicle is highly recommend as the access road is not sealed. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Close to skiing - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/25000000/24260000/24255400/24255400/a7d25609.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Outpost in the Snowy Mountains Yaouk - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 54 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-24&endDate=2025-10-25&selected=24255400&PinnedHotelID=24255400&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Contactless check-in and check-out are available ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Rules Guest Numbers cannot exceed the number booked without pre approval Strictly: No Smoking, No parties and no adjustments of house controls. ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events Events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a professional host.

Warm wood fires. The drive in is a little wild, we managed in an AWD, but a 4WD would have been better, due to the wet weather. ##### Carrie W.

The stunning location, exceptional amenities, and attentive hosts added to the overall charm of the rental. I highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a memorable and relaxing getaway. Can't wait to return in the future! ##### Mira D. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Flynn D. 8 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Stunning Grand Design! We loved our stay at Snowgums. It is a stunning property. Unfortunately we had some access issues due to excessive rains, and had to finish our visit early - but the owner was really lovely and accommodating. We’ll come back after the roads have been fixed! The house was really well appointed and we had some fabulous screen-free family time there! ##### Flynn D.
