Perfect, private and picturesque. This is the ultimate country cottage, located in an impeccably managed property with a river, views, a cozy fireplace and welcoming hosts. We are repeat visitors, we love this place and can't wait to plan our next trip.

Amazing place

Stayed here to go skiing. While it was a good hour drive while the snow was around, the quality, uniqueness and cosiness of the property made it well worth the drive. Be aware there is no town shop etc, so come prepared regarding food etc

Beautiful Birthday Getaway

My partner and I stayed over the past weekend and had the most amazing time. The cottage is perfect - so much room & the fire was amazing. We saw platypus, wombats & kangaroos, and played tennis by the lake. The outpost is a short drive from Mount Selwyn where we had so much fun in the snow. Both owners and caretakers were lovely and super accommodating. Can’t wait to come back!

Tranquil

We had a lovely stay at The Outpost. The hosts were great and very helpful. The Outpost is a wonderful place to relax and is within easy access to Adaminaby and Selwyn snow fields. Our children had hours of fun exploring the riverside and we were lucky enough to have beautiful snowfall on the last day of our stay. We will definitely be staying here again in the near future. 👍🏻

Beautiful Family Escape

We booked a short stay for our family and ended up with our extended family staying. The property is in a lovely location with lots of things to do. We went on daily walks and played outside with the children. At night we had a campfire. The chickens had fresh eggs for us and one of the sheep had a lamb the day we arrived. Our hosts were very friendly and looked after us really well. We had a very stay.

Unique and beautiful site

Cottage was kept very clean. All of the kitchen requirements were there. The coffee machine was really good. BBQ was working well and cooked beautiful steaks. There is only the Fireplace for heating. No central heating or electric heaters. The beds are heated. Privacy: We knew there were only the 2 caretakerswho were nice, respectful and kept their distance (living in the "Shed") but on the second day we noticed a couple just came in through the gates with their dog and start playing tennis at the court. It would've been good to know this before arriving here. The experience overall was great.

Glad you enjoyed your stay. Privacy: We only ever have one guest party staying on the property at one time. The people mentioned in the above review were the children of our Caretakers who were visiting at the time. This happens on very rare occasions and should not disturb guests.

Serene bush getaway

I spent a long weekend with my two boys (3 & 10) at the property and we absolutely loved it! The Outpost is nice and secluded in the bush and has the river as company. The hosts and caretakers were all really lovely and super helpful. The cottage was also really comfortable and toasty warm with the fire. The gardens are really spacious with plenty of room for the youngsters to explore and run around. Looking forward to another visit in the future! A few things to note: The drive from Canberra through Namadgi took us 2 hours. (The road was ok and I'm a competent driver on dirt) The cottage is set back from the river and sits behind the main house which overlooks it.

Peaceful

We stayed here back in winter 2019 and said we would be back, unfortunately COVID kept us away in 2020 and 2021. We finally made it back for Autumn 2022! Even though the kids are teenagers now, they still had a blast exploring the property and even had a go at tennis. Hubby and I just sat back and relaxed.

Beautiful place, beautiful property

A beautiful get-away and so well looked after. The property managers, Wayne and Donna were really welcoming and even met us on the road and guided us up to the property (it had been raining a lot and so they brought us in a different way so we wouldn't get bogged). We saw platypus, wombats, kangaroos and wallabies galore. The cottage was really tidy and had everything we needed. Loved it and will defintely be coming back again. Thank you.

We had a very happy holiday. We spotted eagles, wombat, lots of wallabies, and even a platypus. The host texted us the night before with an update on a local road which we were considering taking - very helpful. Hope to come again.

Beautiful location to unwind and relax!

What a magical location. So relaxing, sitting by the river, reading a book, and listening to the birds. The kids loved trying to catch fish, bush walking, feeding the horses and sheep, playing tennis and the canoe was a big hit! The resident wallaby's and kangaroos were all over the property and we loved seeing them close to the cabin on dusk. The cabin was very cosy with an indoor fireplace and warm beds which were super comfy! We will be back!!..
