Awesome family summer short getaway

Pether Cottage was clean and very comfortable for our short getaway. It is close enough to Yarrangobilly Caves for our planed activities and to Tumut for evening meals the location was great for us.Talbingo itself was so peaceful for evening walks and a short drive up to power station had some awesome views of the surrounding areas.We were very happy with David who answered all our questions as we never travelled with our dog before and the property was great for all of us.

Interesting

Comfortable enough ; garden with grapes, plums, & a peahen (& her chicks), make the stay unusual ; location is good . . near the Talbingo Golf Club, where the Chinese Restaurant has a good list of dishes . The Tumut 3 Dam & the artificial beach, yatching & swimming area are worth visiting .

Cosy little cottage

We enjoyed staying at Pether Cottage. The bedrooms are very warm with Daikin heaters. The hot water from shower/bath came instantly which made bathing little children very easy. Talbingo is a lovely town to stay and only short drive to Mt Selwyn snowfield. Pether Cottage is very close to the Country Club and the restaurant there serves very good Chinese food too!

Great location for high country exploration.

Have stayed at Pether Cottage many times over the years and always enjoyed the experience. This time was visited by the peacock and several kangaroos on front lawn. Despite the frigid conditions outside the cottage is always warm, cosy and comfortable. My Collie dog loves lying round big backyard and never jumps the fences. Great value for money.

Convenient dog friendly cottage

Many thanks for another comfortable stay at Pether. Although very cold outside and snow on hills, house was comfortably warm. A nice touch to have house preheated for my arrival. Great backyard for my Collie dog although one frosty morning he had to share it with several kangaroos. Wild horses galore in high country foraging for grass in the deep snow. Tough creatures. Until next time.

House was clean inside with good appliances Barbecue needs updating we gave it a good clean moved it away from the house window above wall behind covered in grease with no drip tray felt it was a fire hazard lots of big spider webs around the carport & the house which we cleaned plus the verandah 2 power points need to be fixed 1 in kitchen near microwave & 1 in the bathroom we still enjoyed our time @ Pether Cottage & realise it takes time to get things up to date & Thankyou would come again completely dog friendly which was a plus
