Take a breath of fresh air and step back in time.
These unique luxury, absolute waterfront stone & log slab huts, located in the stunningly picturesque Moonbah Valley, have private frontage to the Blue Ribbon declared Moonbah River – the regions most pristine trout stream – complete with resident platypus.
The Moonbah Lake Hut fronts small lake filled with both brown and rainbow trout. The Lake is flyfishing only, catch & release and contains trophy fish to 10lb’s! The river may be fished by lure or fly and, in accordance with local regulations, you can keep one for dinner, (over 25cm).
You can bushwalk in the adjoing Kosciuszko National Park, swim in the river, go for a mountainbike ride but, If all this sounds a little too tiring, just sit in the rocking chair on the verandah and read a book with your favorite drink in hand.
The huts are very cosy (even in -15c) with in-slab heating in both! The lake Hut sleeps a maximum 4 people, ideally 2 adults and 2 young children and the River Hut can sleep up to 5 persons. Both have beautiful ‘inside’ bathrooms, no outhouses here!
There is no mobile reception at Moonbah Huts, nor any wifi, however there is a landline in both huts (remember those?) and you can call anywhere on that phone, or give the huts phone number to anybody who may need to call you during your stay.
The bedding and all other linen is of the highest quality and guests for many years now remark about this aspect of their stay; “we haven’t slept like that for years…”
The fishing is outstanding. Expert guiding, tuition and or fly tying, can be arranged. (Rods and all gear required, are available for hire).
One of the hut’s most beautiful features is the huge, stone open fireplaces and with snow often falling at anytime of year, including the middle of summer sometimes, the fireplace can be enjoyed on most nights of the year. There is also a wood stove (and a twin electric hotplate) for cooking and a small fridge/freezer to store your catch in. All cutlery, crockery, cookware, etc is supplied.
Moonbah Huts are ideal for a unique summer, or winter, getaway. Peaceful, luxurious, cosy and extremely romantic – there have literally been hundreds of proposals over the years and many come back regularly to celebrate anniversaries, show their children, families etc

Reviews by some of our customers
“What a great hut and in such an idyllic place! We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Caught 8 trout and kept 1, (1 1/2 lb), including one from the river here and the rest downstream in open water, using grasshopper pattern and a brown dun.”
Lost several other good fish and missed dozens on the strike. We will return!”

“The hut is a pleasant 15 min drive from Jindabyne.
Explore the bordering Kosciuszko National Park (100 m from the Hut).
Savor the mountain air and clear night skies with a gazillion stars – an astromoner’s paradise.
Go for a walk and see brumbies, wild deer, wombats, 60 plus species of birdlife…..take a picture…..paint a picture…..the scenery is breathtaking“
“Couldn’t of had a more enjoyable time if we tried. Wildlife galore – the wombat down by the river was so cute – looked just like the RSPCA ad, but without the bandage! The kangas, emu and brumby harem were great. At night, who needs TV? The frogs lulled us to sleep and the cockatoos visited in the morning. Thanks Brett, we had a fantastic time & look forward to visiting again“.
