Pether Cottage

Pether Cottage

Relaxing at Pether Cottage is easy with the benefits and facilities of the ski lodge, golf course and country club and general store within a 10-minute walk. It makes it your ideal Talbingo short stay rental accommodation. You can sit and watch the birds and kangaroos as well as other native wildlife at dawn and dusk around Talbingo. We now have internet and WiFi along with Foxtel.

NB. Mount Selwyn Snow Resort burnt down during the fires of January 2020. So it won’t be operational during winter of 2020. So stays more suitable to families that just want to do their own snow play, snow ball fights and building Olaf (snowman). Don’t forget to bring the carrot. Yarrongobilly Caves is great place to go to limestone caves and swim in 27 degree water even when it is snowing. Makes great photo.

PETHER COTTAGE IS PET FRIENDLY – DOGS ARE WELCOME.

David & Hilary, owner/managers, invite you and your family to relax and enjoy your Talbingo short stay holiday accommodation at Pether Cottage.

Local Facilities: Nearby we have a great dining option at the Talbingo Country Club (500 m walk). There is also a supermarket (500 m walk) where you can buy everything you need for your stay. Supermarkets and shops at Tumut are only 45 km drive (30 minutes).

Talbingo offers a lot for visitors apart from the snow regions. There is fishing and water sports, swimming, golf, tennis and bush walking tracks as well as 4WD tracks through Kosciusko National Park and Bargo State Forest (there are maps provided at the property). If you feel like kicking back and relaxing with a round of golf, the Talbingo Country Club has a 9-hole course.

Snowy Mountain Scheme – Talbingo is at the centre of the mighty Snowy Mountains Scheme – one of the great engineering feats in the world, and the Tumut 3 Power Station which is the largest power station in the Snowy Mountains Scheme and the largest hydro-electric power station in Australia.

History- The town is the birthplace of award winning author Miles Franklin. Ken Warby currently holds the water speed record for motorboat racing on Blowering Dam. If you’re in the mood for sightseeing, Talbingo is an easy drive from many of our popular tourist attractions.

Selwyn Snowfields – The Selwyn Snowfields are just under an hour’s drive through national park. This is the premier learn to ski and family snow recreation area in NSW. Located in the beautiful Kosciusko National Park, you will love learning how to ski, snowboard, snow tube or toboggan. Snow gear can be hired at Talbingo goPLAYoutside. Tips for a snow holiday in Talbingo NSW.

Yarrangobilly Caves – On your way, make sure you visit Yarrangobilly Caves, one of the most wonderful limestone cave systems in Australia. You can either take a self-guided tour through the South Glory Cave. Or join a guided tour of the Jersey Cave or Jillabenan Cave. There are a number of other bush walks at Yarrangobilly Caves. They include the Thermal Pool Walk where you’ll find a natural spring permanently heated to 27 degrees. This is an amazing experience in winter where you can laze back in the warm water. While snow is blanketing the ground around you. The whole Yarrangobilly area is a haven for photographers and artists. So make sure you check out the River Walk and the Bluff Lookout as well as the caves.

Buddong Falls – Another favourite is the Buddong Falls. Just a 50 km drive away, crossing the Blowering Reserve and through the Buddong State Forest. Alternatively, you can follow the Blowering Reserve into Tumut and then back down in the Buddong State Forest. Here you’ll find an easy 400 metre return walk from the picnic area to the top falls. There is a steeper 1.6 km return walk to the bottom falls.

Talbingo Accommodation to Enjoy Nature 

Great place to get back to nature and enjoy Australia’s largest National Park: Kosciusko National Park. So much to explore and do.

Bush Walks – For longer walks, there is the Hume and Hovell Walking Track which you can trek parts of the track. This drive is suitable for 4WD only. The entry into Landers Creek Falls is a short 15-minute drive from us here at Pether Cottage. This is a fairly decent walk so we definitely recommend setting aside a few hours for this one. The falls are a 10 km return walk from the 2WD car park. Or a 1.6 km return walk from the 4WD car park (closed in winter) along the Cumberland trail. This is a great place for photos. At the end of the trail you’ll have views that stretch across the escarpment and plunging into the valley below. As well as the clear blue Talbingo Reservoir. At the Talbingo Lookout, you’ll get a great view of Landers Creek Falls emerging from the cliff. There are some other fantastic walks and places to visit in the area. Some of our favourites (apart from those we’ve mentioned) include Coolamine Homestead accessed off Long Plain Road along the Blue Waterholes Fire Trail; Blue Waterholes Campground; Clarke Gorge Walking Track; Nichols Gorge Walking Track; and the Kiandra Heritage Track.

Talbingo Accommodation: Fishing and Water Sports – If you feel like taking a break from all the walking and hiking in the area, fishing, water sports and swimming are popular with many tourists and locals. You can fish all year round for rainbow trout, brown trout and redfin in Lakes Talbingo, Blowering and Tantangara. While Murray Cod is often caught in Blowering Dam. Fishing supplies can be hired from goPlayoutside, or purchased at the service station and supermarket. With so many waterways available for use, you can water ski, sail, canoe, kayak and swim on Talbingo and Blowering Lakes during the warmer weather. There are also many local creeks and swimming holes around including Jounama Creek.

Hiring Equipment and Weather – We highly recommend goPlayoutside for your snow and leisure equipment hire including cycling, hiking, water sports and snow sports gear. You’ll be out exploring the local area quicker and be hitting the slopes sooner. You’ll also find a four-day weather forecast, snow report and road conditions posted on the shop window each day. Surrounded by some of the most sensational scenery. Therefore there is so much to see and do in the Snowy Mountains Area. You can experience it all from Pether Cottage: Talbingo short stay holiday accommodation.

WE RECOMMEND TRIPS TO: THERE ARE SOME GREAT TOWNS AND VILLAGES TO VISIT IF YOU FEEL LIKE EXPLORING THE LOCAL AREA.

Your Salamander Bay short stay rental accommodation at Condo 105 is the best place to start your Hunter Valley holiday.

Salamander Bay short term accommodation is central to all Surf and Bay Beaches in Port Stephens – Nelson Bay is just a 7km drive to the east, and is the main town of the Port Stephens region. The calm beaches of the bay are perfect for families to relax, while the coastal beaches as great for surfing and body boarding. Nelson Bay and Shoal Bay are home to some of the best beaches in the Port Stephens area. There are over 20 beaches including sheltered bays and open ocean beaches which gives you plenty of option for swimming, snorkelling, kayaking, surfing and walking. If you enjoy diving and snorkelling, the tiny promontory of Fly Point is an aquatic reserve. Also Broughton Island where you’ll find what local divers call “The Looking Glass”. A split that runs through the middle of the island and is alive with marine life. There are lot of places for snorkelling and diving for all experience levels.

We recommend the walking tracks in Tomaree National Park, which is a 20 km strip between Shoal Bay and Anna Bay.

Your Salamander Bay holiday rental is only a 15 minute drive (11 km) to Shoal Bay and an 8 minute drive (7.7 km) to Anna Bay.

There is only one wild dolphin swim permitted in NSW, and it is in the Port Stephens/Great Lakes Marine Park. The organisers will take you offshore on a 50-ft ocean catamaran. Where you will get the chance to swim with Short Beaked Common Dolphins and Oceanic Bottle Nosed Dolphins. This is an amazing experience not to be missed. Salamander Bay short stay rental is only a 10 minute drive (7 km) to Nelson Bay d’Albora Marina which is base for your whale and dolphin watching adventures.

Or spend the day on a quad or join a 4WD Safari Tour. If you are visiting us over a weekend, make sure you book yourself in for a camel ride on the beach. You can book in for an hour long sunset ride, which is a great way to finish off the day. After your camel ride, head back to Horizons Resort and sit back with a glass of wine watching the animals come out at dusk.

Tomaree National Park – If you prefer to keep your feet firmly on soil, then you can often see both dolphins and whales from Tomaree National Park Headland.

For the photographer, the Namoi River provides beautiful scenery. The huge granite boulders sitting high above the valley’s pools offer great photo opportunities.
