Elm Grove Sanctuary provides the perfect environment for a digital detox. Visitors are welcome for family holidays, wedding receptions, and retreats, with cabins and camping options set in the picturesque Goobarragandra Valley.
Just 28 kilometres east of Tumut, it is surrounded by Kosciusko National Park with spectacular mountain scenery. There’s plenty to do while visiting: fishing, bushwalking, swimming, stargazing, picnics, campfires or just sitting under an Elm tree with a book.
There are campsites by the river with a simple camp kitchen and basic toilets available. These sites have easy 2WD access and space to turn a caravan around. They also have a cabin you can book with a fully set up kitchen, wood fire and plenty of accommodation with a view.
The owners have dogs and are a dog-friendly campsite. (They also have chickens, so if you bring a dog, please make sure it will be friends with the chickens, or kept on a leash.) There is no mobile reception, so you will not be disturbed by the outside world when you visit paradise.
This is a hosted stay through Hipcamp.
