Yellowbox cottage is located 14kms from the township of Tumut in the Snowy Mountains, and approximately halfway between Sydney & Melbourne, and just 21/2 hours from Canberra and is part of the Elm Cottage group of luxury cottages. The property is 4G accessible.

Dogs are most welcome inside the cottage but we do ask they do not go onto carpeted areas, and do not sleep on the furniture or bedding. We supply dog bowls, treats and Poop bags.

Fantastic 1200 thread linen and quality furnishings complete the cottage.

Watch the sheep stroll past, see the cows resting on the nearby hillsides and listen to the sounds of the river whilst relaxing on your private balcony. In the evening enjoy a magical sunset, watch the stars under crystal clear skies then curl up to sleep to the rippling sounds of the river.

Whether you're on your honeymoon, a fishing, golfing or skiing holiday, celebrating a special occasion, on business, meeting up with family and friends or looking an unforgettable spot to relax and unwind, Yellowbox Cottage provides the atmosphere that can help you create magical moments.

Little River stay
We had a fantastic stay at Elm Cottage celebrating Dads 80th birthday. The setting location is amazing - river, the hills, the well kept and artistic surrounds. The house was ideal for a large group like ours and plenty of space to relax. Super amenities in the house. We had a fantastic stay.
