When you stay at the Moonbah Huts it's like stepping back in time with the unique stone and slab huts located in the picturesque Moonbah Valley, near Jindabyne, New South Wales, Australia. The Moonbah River Hut has private frontage to the Blue Ribbon declared trout stream, and both huts front a small lake containing trophy-sized brown, brook, and rainbow trout to five kilos. During your vacation stay you can go for a walk and see brumbies, wild deer, wombats, and birdlife. The scenery is breathtaking. The huts are a 15-minute drive from Jindabyne and the nearby Thredbo and Perisher ski resorts. The Lake Hut sleeps four and the River Hut five. Both huts are beautifully appointed and feature underfloor heating. One of the huts' features is their huge, stone-open fireplaces. There are wood stoves for cooking and a small refrigerator. There are few modern appliances as the huts are very traditional. The award-winning Moonbah Huts are the ideal, unique summer or winter getaways.
