Description

Take a breath of fresh air and step back in time. This unique stone/slab hut, in picturesque Moonbah Valley, has private frontage to the Blue Ribbon declared Moonbah River - the regions most pristine trout stream - (complete with resident platypus).
The hut also fronts a small dam containing brown, brook and rainbow trout:

"What a great hut and in such an idyllic place! We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Caught 8 trout and kept 1, (1 1/2 lb), including one from the river here and the rest downstream in open water, using grasshopper pattern and a brown dun. Lost several other good fish and missed dozens on the strike. We will return!"

Peter & Andrea, Yass, March, 2006.

The hut is a pleasant 15 min drive from Jindabyne.
Explore the bordering Kosciuszko National Park (100 m from the Hut).
Savor the mountain air and clear night skies with a gazillion stars - an astromoner's paradise.
Go for a walk and see brumbies, wild deer, wombats, 60 plus species of birdlife.....take a picture.....paint a picture.....the scenery is breathtaking:

"Couldn't of had a more enjoyable time if we tried. Wildlife galore - the wombat down by the river was so cute - looked just like the RSPCA ad, but without the bandage! The kangas, emu and brumby harem were great. At night, who needs TV? The frogs lulled us to sleep and the cockatoos visited in the morning. Thanks Brett, we had a fantastic time & look forward to visiting again".

Darren & Claire, Canberra, Feb 2006.

If you're feeling particularly invigorated, go mountain bike riding, (Norco 24 speed suspension bikes are available for hire), or maybe take a dip in the cool, crystal clear waters of the Moonbah River.
If all this sounds a little too tiring, just sit in the rocking chair on the verandah and read a book.

The hut is very cosy (even in -15c) and sleeps a maximum 4 people, ideally 2 adults and 2 young children. There is an 'inside' bathroom, (no outhouses here).
Local telephone is connected, however you can make long distance calls reverse charges, if required.
The bedding is high quality and all beds have electric blankets.
The fishing is outstanding. Expert guiding, tuition and or fly tying, can be arranged. (Rods and all gear required, are available for hire).
One of the hut's most beautiful features is the huge, stone open fireplace and with snow on either Christmas or Boxing Day, on 5 of the past 7 years, the fireplace can be enjoyed on most nights of the year. There is also a wood stove (and a twin electric hotplate) for cooking and a small fridge/freezer to store your catch in. All cutlery, crockery, cookware, etc is supplied.

There are few modern appliances, as the hut is very traditional - No television reception or playstations!

Moonbah Hut is ideal for a unique summer, or winter, getaway.

Minimum 2 night stay.

Guest Reviews

 
  • "If you like granite walls, timber beams, stone fireplaces, mountain streams, snow gums, starry nights and the feeling that you're staying in a place that seems like it must have been built in 1822 (all with the modern comforts of in-slab heating, bathrobes and gas hot water) then get yourself here! Moonbah Hut is a lovely little place that has been hand-built and kitted out with thought, care and style. It's in a beautiful landscape too (don't be fooled by the dryness around Jindabyne on the way in - this place is well-watered and thriving). If you're keen and have time you can even cook using the 'Canberra' wood-burning stove (we managed lamb shanks in stout with mash & peas). If not, use the hot plates! The owner, Brett, is a perfect host and has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and memorable. Tips: Bring a torch for wombat-spotting and a star chart for constellation-spotting. Oven-mitts would also be handy if you're planning on using the wood burning stove."

  • "Trout, trout, oh mighty trout, you elude us on this day. 1 fish, 2 fish, 3 fish, 4 fish ,off the hook and away! We'll try again in the morning in hopes of one for tea. If we get one up on the bank I'll shout: "Yipee!". We're are extremely happy that we were able to spend 2 nights here at Moonbah Hut. It was a wonderful suprise on our 3 week vacation and we plan to stop again on our next trip back. The Hut was super comfortable with all that we needed. Such a cosy place to be. The flyfishing tips were truly appreciated and we hope to continue when we go fishing next in Alberta. Thankyou Brett for your kind and friendly hospitality. TB & Beau - thankyou for your warm welcome and company. All the best..Dennis & Lisa"

  • "Three perfect days! Thankyou for your hospitality Brett. Picking berries for breakfast, flyfishing for those playful trout, swimming in the river, climbing Kosciuszko, canoeing up the Thredbo River and around some of the lake and watching the storm clouds form - are just some of the memories we'll treasure (not forgetting playing with Tb & Beau of course!!) MOONBAH HUT IS A TASTE OF PARADISE. "

  • "Great hut in an awesome valley. Sighted plenty of browns in the river, caught five as well as a 1kg brook trout from the pond. Thanks mate!!"

  • "What a truly delightful place - The Hut with so much charm & character! We loved the attention to details - flowers - old tools - bamboo fly rods - chocolates (Thankyou!) and so much more. Interesting collection of books & old magazines! Even the musik was just right to get us into total relaxation mode! The only time my blood pressure went up was watching a massive brown trout come up behind my fly (black mudeye pattern) in the pond.I watched it swallowing the fly, only to explode half a second later, launching into two spectacular leaps - breaking the leader at the later and disappearing with my fly as souvenier! Thankyou for a lovely stay!"
