We had an amazing time at Bush Grove. Gary has done an incredible job at building this gorgeous cabin which holds everything you possibly need. The whole cabin is beautiful with high ceilings and gives off proper Man from Snowy River vibes with the furnishings and paintings.The cabin was easy to find and you do need to go down a dirt track for 4km but our normal car handled it fine. We also took Gary’s advice and checked out the river. Walking down was a bit sketchy as the gravel road was quite slippery but we managed to get there in one piece. The river setting is spectacular and so peaceful. It was nice to chill here for a bit before getting back and warming up by the fire.Overall we had a fabulous stay and a real change of scenery. Was lovely seeing deer, wallabies, kangaroos and bird life too!

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.
