Lachney Cottage is a 3 bedroom (+ upstairs loft) house located in the historic village of Dalgety. The home is 1.5km out of town on the sealed Snowy River Way, and is an easy 4.5hr drive from the south of Sydney on excellent roads. Dalgety is located on the banks of the Snowy River, a 15 minute drive to Berridale, 30 minutes to Jindabyne, less than 60 minutes to the ski resorts of Perisher and Thredbo, and a scenic 90 minute drive to the coast.
The cottage, which is situated on 10 level acres with magnificent views of the snowy mountains, is a peaceful and relaxing home to return to after a hard day on the slopes, avoiding the hustle and bustle of the bigger towns. Watch as kangaroos and the local wildlife go about their business while you're sitting on the veranda sipping a red and soaking in the crisp clean mountain air. Maybe all sitting around the outside fire toasting marshmallows while waiting for the snags to cook, or simply relax and snuggle up in front of the wood heater with a good book. And the star gazing on clear evenings is just stunning.
The village of Dalgety, which has history dating back to the 1800's, has many attractions on offer. Like grabbing a steak and having a drink with the locals at the Buckley Crossing pub, enjoying a cappuccino at Red Dog Roasters, or visiting Dalgety Brewery. And of course there's the Mighty Snowy River where you can take the river walk, do a spot of fishing, canoe or take a dip during the warmer months.
A little further away is the Kosciuszko National Park, which is not only home to the best Ski resorts in Australia, but has many attractions outside the ski season. Bushwalking, mountain biking, fishing, camping, as well as catching the Express chair at Thredbo for the enjoyable walk to the top of Australia...Mt Kosciuszko.
Jindabyne also has many attractions, including Lake Jindabyne for fishing, water skiing, sailing as well as swimming. Enjoy a movie, dine at the many restaurants, do a spot of shopping, take in the nightlife or simply take a picnic on the picturesque lake edge.
Lachney Cottage is ideal for a romantic getaway, or for the family who like a bit of space, peace and quiet and loads of country charm...All year round.

Lachney Cottage was the perfect place for our little family getaway to the Snowy Mountains. There was plenty of spaces to have your own quiet time or to gather and spend quality time as a family. Brent was wonderful and welcoming and made sure our stay was perfect. We will definitely be back again soon.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The place is absolutely beautiful inside and out! Close enough to Jindabine/Thredbo but far enough to enjoy peaceful scenery! Highly recommend!
The location is breathtaking, and just added to a our ski trip experience staying in a small country town with incredible views and local wildlife right on our door step instead of Jindabyne. I highly recommend Dalgety cottage as a location to stay.
Was absolutely amazing staying at this beautiful cottage! Everything was perfect and easy with great communication from the hosts. Will definitely be visiting again!
Property it self is so so comfortable, the views and peace and quite are just the best.
Best cottage and so beautifully appointed.
Our 3rd stay and cant wait to book again.
Our favourite place to stay in the state.

Lovely family, left the cottage spotless, house rules were observed. Would not hesitate to recommend to any future hosts, and welcomed back here anytime.
Thank you
Our hosts were absolutely amazing! The property was beautiful, scenic and semi remote with less then a 5 minute drive to town.Such an unforgettable experience and will definitely miss waking up to the sounds of the woodfire crackling, the sheep bleating, the kangaroo's jumping across paddocks, and most of all the serene quietness from an otherwise busy and loud norm.10/10
The cottage and area are such a refreshing change. The peace and quiet, cozy warm fireplace and well situated cottage make it a perfect escape. If you stay make sure you check out the stars at night! Hosts Brent & Louise communicated well and provided great information for the cottage and local area.
Many thanks - our little family had a great time.

Kate and the family were excellent guests, great communication, left the cottage very tidy. I would not hesitate to recommend Kate to other hosts, and would be welcomed back to Lachney Cottage any time.
A great place to stay to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. Arriving on a cold evening to an already lit fireplace was wonderful. You could either stay here and not venture out and have everything you need for a relaxing time or you could use it as a base to go and explore what's around the snowy region area.

Thank you Dixie,
And thank you for choosing Lachney Cottage as your holiday destination, and for leaving it extremely tidy. Welcome back anytime.
Regards
beautiful cottage, staying there to go to the snow is a great little hack its like having 2 holidays in 1, your up the mountains all day with lots of people then in the afternoon/night your just away from it all in the peace and quiet beautiful country side with a view of the snow topped mountains
We really enjoyed our stay. Lovely location & ambience.
All the mod cons, good Wi-Fi, pod coffee, great pub.
The indoor is cosy & comfortable.
All items needed were supplied including bedding & towels.
Outdoor was a really nice touch, including fire pit & a very good, covered BBQ area.
A bonus was a roomy garage for the car.
Great hosts who prioritise hospitality.
We hope to return.
We enjoyed a fabulous family vacation at Lachney Cottage. Brent and Louise were wonderful hosts and went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our stay. Communication was excellent, the welcome pack was a lovely, personalised touch and having the fire built and ready to go on arrival was appreciated. The cottage is well equipped, spotless and very tranquil. Dalgety is a pleasant, manageable drive to the ski fields and nice escape from the crowds after a day on the slopes or in the backcountry. Thank you for your hospitality and welcoming us to Lachney Cottage. Highly recommended and would definitely stay again.
Aside from being in a wonderful location, the house was immaculate upon arrival, with a fire ready to be lit. Perfect after a long drive. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen kitted with everything you would require. The same with the BBQ area. We wanted a relaxing 5 days away, and with the vista from the back veranda, this is exactly what was delivered. The owners were easy to communicate with, prompt and very friendly and helpful. All up, 5 stars. Highly recommended.

What a find!
We loved absolutely everything about this stunning country escape - it was warm, spacious, clean and lovely inside with a beautiful peaceful location in the country. We loved sitting in the rocking chairs enjoying the serenity with kangaroos jumping by at the end of the day. We also saw a little fox and an echinda. Sitting with a glass of wine around the firepit at the end of the day was a highlight. It's only a couple of kms to Dalgety but we didn't really need to go there (apart from for a swim in the Snowy River!) Thanks so much and we'll definitely be back!
