Cooma farmhouse

Close to Cooma this property offers comfort, convenience and a beautiful vista from the dinner table. We stayed here en route to the snow and enjoyed the wood stove and electric blankets! With a fully functioning kitchen and laundry this is a great place to stay for a night or a week.

Snowdrift cottage is absolutely gorgeous. Peaceful and welcoming. We had everything we could need and only 10 minutes from town. It was a lovely break - the visits from the pets (very friendly dog and 2 cats) made the stay that much more enjoyable.

Snowy farm stay

We had a pleasant and fun short break. The place was clean and all amenities as per description. We were told about $100 cost for fire wood so we took our own. Over all we loved it and will be going back next year. Thanks Deb for hosting us.

Quaint rural cottage

Just a one night stop over. Nice place - great bathrooms and well stocked kitchen. We took up Deb’s offer for barbecue, supplies and breakfast, which was a great help. Although it wasn’t cold enough to use the fire, it had been set ready for use which was a generous touch.

Simply perfect!

Snowdrift Cottage is as special as it looks. Rustic simplicity and modern good taste are beautifully combined so you soak up the peace while also being very comfortable. Staying on a farm with its natural beauty added to the sense of serenity. It was wonderful for a relaxing summer getaway and we can't wait to go back in winter. Thanks so much Deb.

Peaceful Farm Stay

Property is a beautiful older style house surrounded by gorgeous views. Communication with Deb was fantastic, she went out of her way to set up the fireplace, turn on the heater in one of the rooms, have her horse close by so my daughter could feed it carrots and her dog was very friendly and enjoyed pats which my 8yr old loved giving. The stay was absolutely lovely and had everything needed for a peaceful night away from the city. The property was very clean and comfortable. I would absolutely recommend this property for anyone, we really enjoyed our stay.

The property was as advertised except there was no wifi..Probably a blessing as we were there to have a break from Sydney anyway. Lovely house, clean, welcoming and well catered and heated. If you like peace and quiet, this is for you. It is also close to a lot of rivers if you are into fly fishing. Never did get to the bottom of why the area is called The Brothers.

Rude owner

Place is ok , overpriced doesn’t supply any firewood then after your stay charges $100 for a couple logs Don’t recommend owner is also very rude
Stayed 2 nights in May 2024
Response from VrboOwner on 23 May, 2024
This guest left several messages saying how much she loved the property & wanted to re book for winter. It was clearly explained that there was an additional charge for firewood supplies prior to the stay & a substantial amount was taken from the shed & used by the guest without asking. The BBQ was left dirty & generally the cottage was unclean. This review is a direct result of the guest being asked to pay for the services used

All set up and ready to go

The cottage is beautiful! We arrived to a lovely, clean house. There were fresh towels and bedding, and the kitchen was well stocked, including some fruit. There was a horse in the paddock nearby, and a lovely dog. There was so much space on the property! Best of all, the fire place was built and all ready to go. It was easy to light and gave us wonderful warmth and comfort all night. The owner was really communicative and lovely. I would definitely stay again.
