Moonbah Hut

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.

"Moonbah Hut looks great on the website, almost too good to be true.But guess what? It IS true!!No enhanced photos.Its not so much a hut but an experience.The peace and quiet, the isolation,the fauna, the fresh air, the space to relax and escape whatever youre trying to escape.Inspirational stuff indeed.Oh and a great shower as well.Wish the place was ours but as that isnt going to happen we'll have to settle with going back again at the first opportunity.A truly wonderful part of the country.Don't hesitate, just GO!!!! Dale & Belinda August 2009

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. Unfortunately Moonbah Hut is not suitable for pets.
Minimum 2 night stay.
