5. Kallarroo Cottage, Greenlands

Step back in time with a stay at the charming Kallarroo Cottage, a rustic gem tucked away on the banks of the Kydra River in the Snowy Mountains.

The cottage itself is as cosy as they come, with a master bedroom nestled up in the loft offering serene river views. Downstairs, after a day of skiing, fishing, or just meandering through the nearby bush and farmland, home to horses and Highland cattle, you can sink into leather armchairs by a rough-hewn stone fireplace. It's the perfect spot to thaw out and share stories of the day's adventures.
