Yaouk Cottage | The Outpost in the Snowy Mountains

3 Bedroom Cottage in Yaouk

The Outpost is a 900 acre property of mostly alpine woodland supporting an abundant population of native wildlife including kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, platypus, echidnas and a multitude of birds. The Yaouk Valley is unique in Australia being bounded by National Parks on three sides; the Kosciuszko National Park, the Namadgi National Park and the Yaouk Nature reserve.
Situated in alpine country on the banks of the Upper Murrumbidgee River, we are located on one of Australia’s best fly fishing rivers and home to wild brown and rainbow trout. Because of its unique fly fishing qualities the river was selected for competition in the 1999 World Fly Fishing Championships and the 2008 by Fly Fish Australia for its National Championships. We are also a site for the 2015 National Fly Fishing Championships.
We are located 1.5 hours drive south of Canberra on a scenic partly unsealed road through the Namadgi National Park. Mountains surround us and the area is famous for its fly fishing, hiking, horse riding and snow skiing.
The nearest village is Adaminaby, which is a scenic twenty-five minutes drive away.

Activities
Fly fishing, considered blue ribbon water by experienced fishers. Enjoy a variety of walks from easy to challenging on designated walking tracks on the property. Enjoy spotting the abundant native animals:- platypus, kangaroos, wallabies, echidna, wombats, possums, and many birds, rosellas, wild duck, wedge tail eagles, hawks, herons, finches and swallows among them. Play tennis or swim in the Platypus pool. There’s always something to do or see – or simply relax.
The Snowy Mountains offer a variety of activities for the non-fisher or those fishers taking a rest. From the rigors of horse riding the ranges to the relaxation of a book beside the murmuring river, you can take it all at your own pace. Do this without leaving our valley or if you are feeling adventurous, you can make the most of the nearby National Parks and attractions.
Summer
Fly fishing, walking and trekking, mountain bike ridding, horse riding, nature. Swimming in the Olympic pool sized Platypus Pool with its very own Mermaid Rock, is an experience not to be missed.
Winter
We get frequent snow falls and days are filled with bracing walks and enjoying tea and scones around a warm cosy fire. Mt Selwyn is our closest ski field and a 45 minute drive away. It is the most northerly of Australia’s ski resorts with a base elevation of 1,492 metres and a top elevation of 1,614 metres. That might sound high but it’s actually lower than Yaouk Peak (1,784 metres), which is adjacent to The Outpost (see Walks).

Samantha C. Aug 13, 2024 09:24:20 AM
Summary: My partner and I stayed over the past weekend and had the most amazing time. The cottage is perfect - so much room & the fire was amazing. We saw platypus, wombats & kangaroos, and played tennis by the lake. The outpost is a short drive from Mount Selwyn where we had so much fun in the snow. Both owners and caretakers were lovely and super accommodating. Can’t wait to come back!

Summary: We booked a short stay for our family and ended up with our extended family staying. The property is in a lovely location with lots of things to do. We went on daily walks and played outside with the children. At night we had a campfire. The chickens had fresh eggs for us and one of the sheep had a lamb the day we arrived. Our hosts were very friendly and looked after us really well. We had a very stay.

Summary: Stayed here to go skiing. While it was a good hour drive while the snow was around, the quality, uniqueness and cosiness of the property made it well worth the drive. Be aware there is no town shop etc, so come prepared regarding food etc

Summary: Excellent, as always.

Summary: I spent a long weekend with my two boys (3 & 10) at the property and we absolutely loved it! The Outpost is nice and secluded in the bush and has the river as company. The hosts and caretakers were all really lovely and super helpful. The cottage was also really comfortable and toasty warm with the fire. The gardens are really spacious with plenty of room for the youngsters to explore and run around. Looking forward to another visit in the future! A few things to note: The drive from Canberra through Namadgi took us 2 hours. (The road was ok and I'm a competent driver on dirt) The cottage is set back from the river and sits behind the main house which overlooks it.
Riddha A. Aug 8, 2022 08:51:35 AM
Summary: Cottage was kept very clean. All of the kitchen requirements were there. The coffee machine was really good. BBQ was working well and cooked beautiful steaks. There is only the Fireplace for heating. No central heating or electric heaters. The beds are heated. Privacy: We knew there were only the 2 caretakerswho were nice, respectful and kept their distance (living in the "Shed") but on the second day we noticed a couple just came in through the gates with their dog and start playing tennis at the court. It would've been good to know this before arriving here. The experience overall was great.
Zoe S. Jul 7, 2022 03:16:31 PM
Summary: A cozy, clean and beautifully located cottage, enjoyable for the whole family.
