We had an amazing stay at Gary's place. He has built an impressive place with craftsmanship and great taste, we are envious. The view was beautiful, the river was gorgeous and refreshing. We were so impressed with the place, we added an extra night on arrival. Highly recommend Thanks again Gary for your hospitality!
Gary is a salt of the earth, warm and welcoming. The cabin is everything that the pictures show. Isolated, warm, tranquil, beautiful. My wife and I had a remarkable few days forgetting about the world and enjoying the Snowy Mountains. We will be back!
Such a beautiful place to stay in nature, the location was exactly what we were after. The attention to detail in the cottage was amazing and Gary's welcome was so lovely. He also supplied firewood for our entire stay which was very generous!
Wonderful large country cottage in an iconic location
We had a very enjoyable stay at Bush Grove. The cottage has a comfortable bed, well-equipped kitchen and bathroom and a fantastic view over the valley down to the Snowy River. A great place to stay!
The best weekend ive had in a long time.Can really unwind here from Sydney.. totally refreshed! Gary is a legend, so helpful and friendly and there is plenty to explore. We are thinking about booking another trip very soon.Top secret spot dont tell anyone! :)
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.
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!
Great accommodation and settling to get away and relax. great walks (steep down to the river) and great views of the main range from the top of the property. The cottage was cosy (we enjoyed the fireplace) and it had all we needed and more, for our short 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.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Gary’s cabin. It had everything we needed for a comfortable and luxurious Christmas away from home. Gary was very responsive and always on hand if we needed anything. Thanks for being a great host!
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.
We enjoyed our 5 days in the peaceful and tranquil setting Bushy has created.
We felt we were on top the world looking out every picture framed window around us.
The art work and interiors in the studio are beautiful and tasteful.
We enjoyed the path down to the picturesque river with Bushy’s dog.
Thank you again for sharing this beautiful place.
The host Gary woes more then helpful and interesting conversation we had with him.Did some fishing on his property,enjoyed everything.It was very cosy and warm.Love to come back again.Cheers.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bush Grove. Garry was an excellent host and checked in regularly to see if there was anything we needed/wanted. He was great in providing ideas on where to go and what to see.
The view from the property is amazing. Access down to the Snowy River an added bonus.
The location was perfect being only 10 minutes out of Jindabyne and 45 mins to Thredbo.
Bush grove was just what my soul needed. What an amazing place! Amazing, creative, quirky, cozy and well appointed. Not the mention the beautiful views (breathtaking at sunrise) and the animals - domestic and wild.
Bushy (Gary) was a friendly easy going host who had great stories to tell and was very generous. The snowy river at the bottom of the property is a definite must do - so peaceful.
Thanks for the great stay Bushy, we will definitely be back
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bush Grove. Everywhere you turn there is something to delight - both inside and out. From the hand-crafted furnishings, the stunning artwork, the beautiful outlook from the front windows and the gorgeous riverfront a short (albeit rough) drive from the cabin. Bushy has ensured that the cabin has everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Internet is patchy, which didn’t really worry us, but might be worth knowing if that’s important for some reason. We hope to return to soak up the ambience that Bush Grove offers.
The vibe is rustic, man from Snowy River with sweeping views of the country landscape. In winter the landscape is less green but nonetheless beautiful with its earthy tones of greys, greens and browns punctuated by vibrant oranges, purples and yellows. Picturesque and cosy we enjoyed our winter nights by the fire and found ourselves taking morning drives on the long winding road from the property taking in the beauty of the land while watching deer and kangaroo jump along in the fields beside us. It was a great location not too far from the centre of the city so getting dinners and breakfasts in town is easy enough. The host was lovely and you can tell the love and pride that went into building up his property
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.
