Wonderful large country cottage in an iconic location

Great place!

Awesome highland property backing onto the river. Cozy but large cabin with everything you might need. A fireplace to keep you warm overnight and a river to fish down the hill… doesn’t get much better than that!

Beautiful log cabin

Gary’s log cabin was so great to stay in. It was absolutely huge, had all the necessary amenities and the roaring fire meant it was always warm. Thanks so much for having us - Sam & Sam

Beautiful bush setting

Fantastic stay at Bushgrove. Great to be able to cruise down to the river for fishing, sit around the cabin having a few drinks and watch all the wildlife come and go. Bushy is a great host and very welcoming. Cabin has everything you need for a good comfortable couple of days.

Living in the High Country on the Snowy River

A very relaxing and enjoyable stay in a unique property that characterises the High Country along with the peaceful surrounds of the Snowy River. It was a great opportunity to meet one of the characters of the area along with all the provisions that have made the stay special.

Fantastic. Accomodation was first class. Very relaxing destination for couples and families. Hospitality from Bushy was first rate. Extremely accommodating to ensure your stay is perfect. My wife and I would give Bush Grove an easy 10/10. We will be back. Thanks Bushy.

Relax and recharge

Bush Grove has everything you need for a relaxing getaway. Stock up on groceries in town and you never have to leave! The kitchen has everything you need including a massive fridge, gas hotplates and electric oven. Gary is a lovely host who will assist in any way possible to ensure you enjoy your stay. If you have a 4wd make sure you take a drive, on the property, down to the Snowy River...its breathtaking.

Perfection!!

A short stay but a memorable one. Perfect cold nights by the fire, spacious living and sleeping area, heated bathroom.. it even snowed our last day. Short walk to a secluded snowy river and short drive to the snowy mountains where I got to see snow for the first time. Bushy is a great host and gave us insight of things to do. Overall was a perfect anniversary weekend away and I wish we could have stayed longer.

Blissful quiet and sublime fishing

We were pleasantly surprised to discover Gary Bush's property online and delighted to see how much more authentic it was in 3D than the photos and website description suggested. Gary made us so welcome we felt like friends visiting him. We enjoyed peaceful days with possibly the best trout ever, catching incredible rainbows and browns that became our evening feasts, and cosy nights sleeping in what felt like a treehouse. When we met the artist Lucy Rose who had created the amazing works that adorned the walls of Bush Grove, we said we had never before slept in an art gallery and told her what fun this was. Gary's little piece of paradise is utterly beautiful and we would happily give it 6 stars out of 5.

This cosy cabin, approx 25 minutes from town, is exactly as pictured. While the surrounding 100 acres are secluded, the cabin isn't. The owner Gary lives in his home with his 3 friendly dogs, 6 or so metres away.Driving to the cabin is via 5.5km of smooth dirt n pot holed road. Before booking, if not in a 4WD, best to check with Gary if your car will be OK on this road. While the cabin is stocked with things like dishwashing powder, washing machine powder, a couple of rolls of toilet paper, a litre of UHT milk, hand sanitiser, salt/ pepper, a small bag of coffee beans, plenty of crockery and cutlery as well as two small saucepans, a skillet and two very worn, scratched teflon frying pans, if you are planning to make your meals there, you'll need to BYO anything else inc water. As a word of warning, ask Gary for what you need during the day, not the night, especially if it is more than one item. On the afternoon we arrived, Gary's last words to us were to call him if we needed anything. There was a couple of things. The wi fi password, a larger pot to make a stew in and a can opener. This was apparently too much to ask for so he decided to let us know via an angry rant when he delivered these items to us. We were told no one had ever asked for these things in 15 years. That he couldn't do everything. That we should have something else for dinner instead. That he should be charging more for the cabin. This was so undeserved and very disappointing.

Authentic Snowy River stay

A rustic, studio style cottage in the Jindabyne countryside, interesting decor and artwork. convenient to town. Every comfort, with good heating for cold weather. Bushy was helpful and friendly and we appreciated the phone call with directions. Recommended if you fancy a real bush style experience, but like the comforts of home. Lots of wildlife around and not too far too Thredbo.

Peaceful quiet slice of paradise

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bush Grove, the place was comfortable and had all the creature comforts of home while still feeling like a cozy log cabin in the woods. The location is great, only a short run into town but still feel like you’re out in the bush.
