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 transportation - 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 - Smoking not allowed ### 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.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-22&endDate=2025-10-23&selected=24255400&PinnedHotelID=24255400&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Contactless check-in 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 Extra-person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy Government-issued photo identification and a credit card, debit card, or cash deposit may be required at check-in for incidental charges Special requests are subject to availability upon check-in and may incur additional charges; special requests cannot be guaranteed Parties and events are allowed on site Host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector with you on the trip Host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property Safety features at this property include a fire extinguisher This property is managed through our partner, Vrbo.

Jul 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful quiet setting Lovely clean well-equipped modern house, with spectacular views of snow capped mountains. 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.

From the impeccable cleanliness to the beautiful design and spacious layout, every aspect of my experience was exceptional. 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.

Jan 8, 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.
