We recently stayed overnight at the Bogie River Bush House and were amazed by our relaxed bush experience. The children were entertained in the Australia shaped pool, kids' cubby area, games room and the creek. They definitely loved hanging out and feeding the tame kangaroos that cruise around the property. This allowed us time to relax by the bar with... More

To be fair, if you are a normal paying guest and not a backpacker, the owners make your stay unique and memorable. They are hard-working people that established a great place over the last decades. It truly is an "oasis in the bush" or "a magic place to stay" to quote other people. But every magic place has its downside.... More

The original owners are back after 4 years of poor management. I loved this place more than anywhere I have stayed in the world. The house and property are special, handcrafted and designed for elegant, simple comfort. There is beautiful hardwood furniture everywhere in little nooks for seating. The beds and airy rooms are perfect. There is free wifi, free... More

A great place for a local overnight getaway. Ernie was such a gentleman (unfortunately Glenda was away). You can hear his passions for the place in his voice. Treatment of his guests, including the backpackers was excellent

The Bogie River Bush House has a beautiful atmosphere where you are surrounded by the tranquility of nature including wildlife that come for a bit of tucker each day. Glenda and Ernie are back at the helm of their little slice of paradise that they have painstakingly and lovingly created over the last 27 years. I felt as though I... More
