This 3 bedroom country cottage has recently been refurbished and is fully furnished. It's a home away from home with lots of little extras supplied for your use. Satellite TV with HD channels.

Cosy wood fire for those winter nights. Surrounded by chestnut orchards and views of Buchan Valley. Wake to the sound of the Kookaburras.

Its a great get-away. Short walk to town centre where there is a General store for supplies and Roadhouse for take-away food and petrol, Main St Cafe for allday breakfast and gourmet nibblies or the Historical Buchan Pub for drink and great pub meals.


Situated 1 km from the spectacular Buchan caves.
The Caves reserve has many walking tracks and a free swimming pool which fills with fresh spring running water from the caves system. The Buchan river is also a safe swimming at the Bluff.

The best of both worlds, the bush with plenty of wildlife and 4WD tracks or the lakes or surf at Lakes Entrance (40 mins away) or Marlo which is close to Orbost. Wild Caving is popular or White River Rafting on the Snowy.

Languages spoken: English(Basic)

There is much to do in the area, its close to the Snowy River and Mickilops Bridge. 2 hours from Jindabyne and 40 minutes from the beach at Lakes Entrance or Orbost & Marlo ( where there is a lake & surf beaches).
Go horse riding, wild caving, rafting or bush walking.
