About the host
Hosted by Jo & Nick
Welcome to Owl Moon Ridge, Frogmouth Hutte
Jo and I want to share our recently updated warehouse-style accommodation with like-minded people who like the mountains, skiing, water skiing, hiking, and bike riding. Just to name a few activities that are on offer in our local area.
This area is pristine and without the crowds, its distance from Sydney and Canberra gives it that regional feel with the services that are available in the cities. Plenty of restaurants, good schools, and a healthy environment.
We also enjoy growing food and making that available to our guests, so they too can appreciate the benefits that practicing sustainability brings to the table.

Why they chose this property
The Snowy Mountains
No doubt about it, the overall scene in 'Jindy' is a healthy one, all our friends and their families in some way or another enjoy getting out there and enjoying the outdoors.
We chose 'Jindy' because it has a great climate. The season change makes it unique to Australia. Starting with winter and all the fun that brings in the mountains. Skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, backcountry hiking, and camping in the snow. Cosy nights beside the fireplace and those shorter days encourage you to spend more time indoors with love ones.
Then the spring. If you haven't been here in spring, its what this place is awesome for. The land comes back to life, the alpine flora really puts on a show. The wildlife gets going again and soon enough there are young roos, wallabies, birds and wombats moving around.
Then comes the summer with all the sports, water skiiing, boating, fishing, hiking, horse riding the list goes on. Then the autumn, when the deciduous leaves start to turn. This season is your best time for camping and visiting those more remote places available in our area. Whether it's down the Pinch, Geehi, or Island Bend.
This season is the time to start getting ready for winter. Stashing the firewood, putting food in the freezer, and generally just cleaning up around the place. Enjoy those mild evenings outdoors with the open pit fire pit cranking and the bugs have to move on.
Then the winter wonderland is back around again, what a place! there is nowhere like it in Australia, dare I say it with some experience, in the world.

What makes this property unique
Our place is a northeast-facing property, protected from the harsh southern weather by the Crackenback Peak.
The large trees, that thrive on the north east facing lands, protect us from that north-western winds that whips down and blow up the lake. For all those facing the west understand it is almost unbearable to be outside.
Starting in the morning we are the first to receive those amazing sunrises. If you know the area the sun in the morning on a cold winters day is just what the doctor ordered.
Then in the afternoon and early evenings, the blasting western sun is not our problem, protected from the south we enjoy the warmth but without that baking sun. Blinds down, Air-conditioning on and inside. This is not the way of our place, unlike other places on the other side of the lake.
Located on a private road we are blessed with privacy and an environment that allows the native flora and fauna to thrive. There is enough distance that you feel like you are in the bush, but the town, the lake, and the ski slopes are just there.
Loving the warehouse-style living. We built an open-plan type building with high ceilings and a mezzanine level.
We love entertaining with a big open kitchen and large undercover area we can entertain and just live outside all year around.
