Five cottages along a stretch of water that has been drawing families back for generations. No agenda, no rush — just the sound of the current, a verandah to sit on, and time enough to actually enjoy it.
Elm Cottage offers pet-friendly holiday accommodation in Tumut, on the edge of the Snowy Mountains. Every cottage sits within an easy stroll of the water, sheltered by bushland that has barely changed in decades. There is nowhere you need to be — a morning swim, an afternoon with a rod in hand, an evening on the verandah watching the light change over the hills. Your dog is welcome as one of the family, and free EV charging is on hand, just to remind you Elm Cottage strives for a carbon neutral environment. It is the kind of place that becomes a tradition, one visit at a time.
From the two-bedroom Blue Gum to the four-bedroom Yellow Box, each cottage sleeps between four and eight and all sit within easy walking distance of the river. Every cottage is fully self contained: fully equipped kitchen, laundry with washing machine and dryer, living and dining areas, reverse-cycle air conditioning, unlimited Wi-Fi and cable TV, and a balcony with BBQ. Linen, towels and pantry basics are provided throughout — every cottage welcomes your dog at no extra charge. Perfect for celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, and family reunions.
