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 .

Ok but.....

We were comfortable with 4 people but I think it would be very crowded with 10. Very little space for eating as a group. We squeezed 7 around a table at the back door - after moving items and sweeping. It would have been impossible indoors. Inside was clean but outdoor areas definitely needed attention.

Charming stay

Pether cottage was a great, quiet cottage where you can take a big breath of fresh air. It was clean and had everything we required for our short stay. Talbingo is such a beautiful little town. I will add that the shop in Talbingo does not have everything you need, especially if you have dietary requirements so best to stock up before getting to Talbingo. And that the fence on one side of the property is knee high so if you have curious/ energetic dogs it is very easy for them to jump it. Otherwise we really enjoyed our stay!

Tranquil little cottage

We love Talbingo and go regularly, and our stay this time in this little retro cottage was great. It's not fancy but more importantly it was clean and tidy, and the linen on the beds was nice and crisp. The kitchen was equipped with lots of new pots and pans which was nice, and the bathroom looks like its had a bit of a makeover compared to the photos online. We loved how well the backyard was enclosed and our dogs loved running around in the grass. The BBQ was dirty when we went to use it, but we gave it a good clean and enjoyed having some cook ups for brekkie and dinner... we did clean it afterwards too for the next people. Eating at the outside table was a bonus, its so peaceful and no humidity. The check in process was made super easy by David and Hilary. Netflix was a bonus for the evenings. We're glad that we got to stay at Pether Cottage and would love to stay again.

Country stay

The manager was quick to respond, which was fantastic. He lives in Queensland so I guess he has little control over how clean the property was. But my family and I were not at all impressed Obviously dogs have been sleeping on the beds. Bedding was very hairy, sheets not changed from last guests Floors not swept or mopped Extremely little bath products in bathroom, face washer and towels as thin as rags I would not recommend this property unless you had dogs that you wanted to keep inside and don't mind it not being clean

Beautiful location - comfy home

Talbingo is a beautiful town, this was my first visit and we loved every minute of our stay. The house is comfortable and fairly clean. Some of the kitchen utensils were overused and may need to be replaced. Our dog enjoyed the big fenced backyard. There is also a place to have a campfire in the backyard which is perfect for the chilly months. All is all, a wonderful place!
