A great break
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.

Beautiful Bushman’s Retreat
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

Character-filled Snowy River experience!
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.

Beautiful Bush Hideaway
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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Perfect Rural Setting
My Wife and I had a lovely relaxing stay at Bushgrove. Gary was a great host and even made sure the old fuel stove was in good working order so we could cook a perfect roast dinner. It's a 4km dirt road entry and is passable in most cars, lowered cars might struggle. The property itself was awesome with the river running right through it so if you love freshwater fishing it's perfect. A great place to get away and only 10-15 mons from Jindabyne town centre.

Seeking Serenity
Absolute perfection. Gary is the consummate host. So delightful to deal with and the property is sublime. I was seeking solitude and a chance to get away from it all and this beautiful slice of Australian Snowy Mountain heaven delivered. I will definitely be going back. The cabin is perfect for an alone or couples escape and the short walk to the river is well worth the trek. Simply magical. Gary made sure everything was perfect. This is one incredible little piece of heaven near beautiful Jindabyne that I will never forget. Thank you Gary
