The Lodge at Tinnenburra is a secluded getaway just 45 minutes from Canberra. Located above the most picturesque waterfalls on the Queanbeyan River; the Lodge started as a humble fishing cabin and has evolved over the years into a cozy, off grid sustainable eco-house. Perfect for a family weekend away or a get together with friends to enjoy the beauty of the surrounds. The drive in through neighbouring farms and national parks sets the tone for the escape from the suburban surrounds of the Canberra region. Enjoy exploring the farm, the surrounding Yanununbeyan National Park or exploring along the gorges and flats of the river. There is an amazing array or native flora and fauna - spot the Platypus in the river gorges; the wombats on the flats in the evenings; the wallabies and kangaroos grazing in the paddocks nearby and more.The Lodge at Tinnenburra is a secluded getaway just 50 minutes from Canberra.

Magical
A truly amazing setting for a cottage. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of every day life; it is a throwback to simpler times with nature surrounding you. The cottage was well set up and comfortable with beautiful views. We can’t wait to return!

Lost in mother nature !!
Firstly Ross and Naomi are wonderful hosts who looks after their guests. It was an absolute pleasure to stay at their place. It was an amazing experience living close to nature with no mobile reception at all. That gonna detach you from your day to day routine life and let you live to the fullest just as yourself with no other thoughts in your mind. There's a lot to explore like trekking, swimming, watching animals that pass by and listening to the birds chirping in the morning. You'll definitely feel like it's your home with all the amenities they provided. I'd say you have to stay there for few days to explore more. That's a perfect spot to rejuvenate. I would definitely recommend the place to anyone. I myself will visit the place again. Thanks you Ross and Naomi, you were one of the best hosts.

A wonderful disconnect!
Our group loved the time out at Tinnenburra Lodge. The amenities were well above what we'd expected with power, hotwater, recently renovated bathroom and plenty of beds. But the best bit was the location, perched above a flowing river with views of rapids and waterfalls, the sound of constant water flowing was a great backdrop to conversations with friends. At night time we enjoyed an outside fire by the house and during the day we explored the river and surrounding area before settling in for an afternoon fire on the beach next to the river, fishing, swimming and relaxing. I loved the fact there was no mobile reception at the house and those who needed it were happy to know it was available just 5 minutes up the road. Communication with Ross as easy, welcoming and to the point and I couldn't recommend the lodge highly enough.

We had a lovely weekend at the lodge really comfortable, awesome views, comfy beds, some bush bashing and rock hoping to swim in the river, and fishing for trout. Saw alot of wildlife, and the stars at night were impressive. Perfect place to get away from everything and be in nature, which is just wear we needed. Hosts were very helpful

Slice of heaven.
A little piece of paradise!! This is a very special place indeed. The lodge itself has everything you need. The kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms are well stocked with everything you need. The kitchen also has a few extra dry stores (oil, salt, pepper, tea, coffee etc). We were there during two hot days (35 degrees and 30 degrees) and the lodge remained cooler and then captured the afternoon breezes as the temperatures dropped. The views over the river, waterfalls and cliffs, the sounds of the river and bird life and the smells of the bush delight the senses and help you forget about the rest of the world. Also helped by the fact that we had no phone reception. The river isn’t easy to access but we enjoyed bush bashing on foot and scrambling over rocks exploring the various ways to access the multiple swimming holes. I am 33 weeks pregnant and we have an 8yo and 2.5yo and we managed. It’s all well worth the effort. We also enjoyed the stars at night and getting a fire going outside to cook a few marshmallows in. The dog also loved exploring with us and listening to her bark reverberate off the cliffs. I have no doubt we will be back to enjoy this little slice of heaven. Ross is very friendly and Steve enjoyed his homemade cider. Things to note: road in is freshly graded for about half the way. A few pot holes and a little rocky crossing but nothing too bad. Perhaps just a car with a little more clearance would be advisable. Beds are firm.
