Pether Cottage is a relaxing country Cottage. It has the small town feel about it. Talbingo is at the bottom of a mountain, with beautiful mountain views.

Thanks Kishor for review of our Aussie Chillout at Pether Cottage - Talbingo NSW. Ideal for family or group of friends. There is something for every season. In winter there is snow play, bush walks if weather is fine and Yarrangobilly Caves. Why not have a swim in the thermal pool that is 27 degrees celcius all year around. Regardless of the outdoor temperature.

Hi Anna, thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the apartment and the location. It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’re always welcome back! Kind Regards, David & Hilary Harris Aussie Chillout: Pether Cottage Talbingo, NSW, Australia 🇦🇺

Pet Friendly - dogs are most welcome inside. Pets love nature, trees and gardens. Lots of walks around the 3 dams, Jounama Creek and Bargo State Forest with dogs. Just clarifying that it is on rare occasions that snow falls actually in Talbingo but during the snow season only need to drive 10 - 15 minutes up the hill to Kosciusko National Park to get snow falls.

Thanks Sheridan for review of our Aussie Chillout at Pether Cottage - Talbingo NSW. Talbingo is a picturesque town at the base of Kosciuszko National Park and the Snowy Mountains. Get some fresh air and get back to nature with hiking. Ideal for families and group of friends. During winter come and enjoy some snow play.

Talbingo is a very quiet and peaceful little town. It is a great place to go to if you want to escape the hustle and bustle of life. You can go for beautiful walks that are as close as a 5 minute drive away. Or you can see kangaroos in the front yard of the Cottage in the early mornings, and sometimes even peacocks!

Bought new vacuum cleaner in January 2016 and replenished stock in kitchen. While staying in January 2016 had a visit from a kangaroo and peacock along with variety of birds first thing in morning.

Wendy is our cleaner, mower, gardener and maintenance person. Hilary and I are so fortunate to have her maintain the cottage for us. Just recently did gardening and pruning. Nice green grass sloping backyard for all to enjoy.

Having visited Canada and seeing the colours of Autumn (Fall), Talbingo is one of those few spots in Australia where it is colourful like Canada with the colour of leaves. We are pet friendly.

Thanks Kooi for review of our Aussie Chillout at Pether Cottage - Talbingo NSW. Help yourself to any of the fruit on the trees. Talbingo has peacocks that wander from place to place in Talbingo. Don't startle them. Great photo opportunity. 5-10 minute walk to shops, country club and Chineses restaurant. Great place for swimming and boating in Talbingo Dam. We have a digital guide to enhance your stay.

Because Talbingo can be very cold in winter there are air conditioners with both heating and cooling in the lounge room, and both the bedrooms. There is also a clothes dryer (as well as a washing machine) as trying to get clothes dry in winter can be very difficult.

It is old but it has a cottage style character and is comfy. We have 3 DAIKINs located in Living Area, main bedroom and 2nd bedroom for cooling and heating. If you don't have escaping dogs the fencing is adequate. Taken note for a future project to get more secure fencing in the weak spots. Within month or so we are rolling out WiFi - Netflix - Stan - YouTube and other TV apps.

There are 2 (as far as I know) peacocks that roam around Talbingo. You will quite often see them in the front yard of the Cottage. As well as kangaroos.

hank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologise for the condition of Pether Cottage during your stay. What you described is not acceptable and does not reflect the standard we aim to provide. We take full responsibility for these shortcomings. A thorough spring clean is scheduled for Wednesday, 4th February 2026, covering all areas of the cottage, including bathrooms, floors, and kitchen supplies. This will be immediately followed by professional pest control treatment to ensure the issue you experienced is fully resolved. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as it has allowed us to address these matters swiftly and comprehensively. We want to reassure all future guests that Pether Cottage will be spotlessly clean, fully stocked with essential amenities, and carefully prepared for upcoming stays.

Even though the backyard is fully fenced in, the fences are on the low side. So if you have medium to large sized dogs then you may not want to leave your dogs unattended. As far as the friendliness of the locals go, we have always found the residents to be very friendly.
