“Amazing accommodation. Super clean and spacious. Comfortable beds. Modern bathroom and kitchen with all the appliances you need to cook, heat and store meals. Good and clean fridge/freezer. Big couch and dining table. A great verandah with bbq. We enjoyed having a drink by the end of the day there too. Wild life and the sky at night is stunning. And above all, very friendly staff and owners. Thank you Kim, Ian & Maree for your warm reception and for helping us with directions for local attractions, where to shop etc. We do wish to be back. Kids really wanted to stay longer and children are the most honest”

“Wonderful stay! Such a peaceful place in Autumn. Probably the cleanest and best maintained accommodation I've ever experienced, even the outdoor furniture was clean. Super comfortable beds, great quality manchester and pillows. Friendly and helpful host. Will be coming back to catch a mega trout in Talbingo dam!”

“Absolutely amazing accommodation, location and facilities. Ian and Marie are the most incredible hosts, if I could give them more than 5 stars I would. We stayed in the newly renovated 2 bedroom units which are spacious and have everything you need including full kitchen and extra large fridge. Apartments walk out onto large deck perfect for sharing a meal and vino. Highly recommend A++++”

“Absolutely loved our stay at this charming retreat! The location is perfect—just a short stroll to the river and the local restaurant, with wallabies and rabbits often visiting, all set against stunning views of the hills. From the moment we stepped into the apartment, we were amazed by how immaculately clean everything was. The place was spotless, and the attention to detail was truly impressive. What made this stay even more special was the incredible hospitality of the owners. They are so warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. When we discovered that the only restaurant in town had a limited menu with nothing we could eat, they graciously offered to share their own dinner with us—a gesture we’ll never forget! If you're ever in this area, be sure to stay at Talbingo Mountain Retreat—it’s guaranteed to exceed all your expectations!”
