Rocky tops is an amazing property, the house is nice and private. Dalgety on the other hand, let this stay down massively.
The space: The bedrooms and bathroom downstairs were all nice, the fireplace does a great job to heat up the bottom level of house and plenty of wood to burn. The upstairs bedrooms and ensuite were also very nice with the small issue of heating in the master bedroom upstairs not really being adequate, but plenty of linen provided.
The Owners/Managers: Really nice interactions with plenty of communication making sure we were ok, and helped with whatever issue we had. They live off-site so a telstra network phone is required to make contact with owners.
The location: As mentioned above Telstra is the only network available in Dalgety area so that is a must for whenever off wifi. Dalgety before COVID probably would have been a nice little country town with some stuff available to do/see, but since COVID it is now a ghost town. The roads to dalgety from jindabyne were almost undrivable with potholes taking up entire sections of the road to where it was unavoidable. The information on the printout and ad definitely needs to be updated as all the businesses are pretty much shut permanently with the exception of the pub which is only open a few days a week.
Summary: Great house with very minor issues (4.9/5), beautiful property and nice views (4.8/5), owners were extremely helpful and nice, with the simple change of ad info about what is around the area needed (4.5/5), Dalgety is pretty much dead with extremely limited businesses for simple stuff like general store items or meals (0/5).
OVERALL (3 or 3.5)/5
