Great place to come and stay, tiny house is house very secluded and private. Perfect place for stargazing. Kangaroos and other wildlife visible from door. House is well equipped, with ample heating for winter time. Would recommend and stay again.

We really enjoyed our time in Moonbah. The property was gorgeous and private despite the other tiny house.Just a note the sliding door has no blind/curtain which we found a little disconcerting. Other than that the stay was lovely.

Amazing cabin & area

The cabin was perfect, cozy & well furnished. The location was mint and the extra touches of the bicycles to the swing, then onto the river was just truly amazing. Would come back again !

Amazing stay 5 stars

This cute little hideaway is perfect for refreshing yourself and getting away from the noise, very close proximity to where you want to be in the adventurous high country but far enough away that it is just yourselves! Highly recommend.

Awesome in every aspect. To sit under the stars by the fire with mountain air swaying the snow guns and the peaceful sing of the river below was perfect.

Everything and more…

Such a beautiful house and location! We used this as a base for our snowboarding trip, however almost didn’t want to go to the snow so we could spend more time here. The property is beautiful and was the perfect, chilled, off-grid holiday we needed. Can’t recommend highly enough! Thanks for everything 😊

Quiet & free of disturbances

My partner and I had a lovely 2 night stay. We were to able to appreciate the open land and little visits from the wildlife. A wonderful location with adequate privacy to relax and rejuvenate. We loved the home, it was perfect for the 2 of us and had everything we need to be comfortable. We were also especially impressed with the efficiency of communication between us & Craig. Happy 'stayerz' :D

A beautiful escape

The property was exactly as advertised and contained everything we needed for our stay. The location was very convenient -only 15 mins out of Jindabyne and less than half an hour to Kosciuszko NP. The tiny house was surrounded by bushland and farmland, and there was plenty of wildlife spotting. Craig was welcoming and accommodating, and his thoughtfulness in establishing the accommodation is evident. I would definitely recommend Big Yard Escapes as a peaceful getaway from the city or the grind.
