EXPLORE NSW
Escape to Tiny Elsie, in the heart of Jindabyne, this summer.
When most people think of Jindabyne and the Snowy Mountains, images of snow-capped peaks and skiing at Thredbo may come to mind. And whilst winter in Jindabyne is amazing, summer in the Snowy Mountains is equally as magical.
October 2024
The Snowy Mountains transform in the summer, offering outdoor adventures fit for all kinds of travelers and filled with sparkling lakes, scenic trails and vibrant community life. Staying at Tiny Elsie offers a unique way to experience it all, allowing you to unwind in nature whilst exploring everything Southern NSW has to offer.
Set amid the stunning natural landscape of the Snowy Mountains, Tiny Elsie is designed for those who want to experience true tranquility in the wild. Complete with air-conditioning and a ceiling fan, Tiny Elsie allows you to stay cool in Summer whilst overlooking the picturesque Snowy Mountains. Surrounded by native bushland, enjoy a cool breeze from the deck chairs and read a book in the nearby shade. As the day turns to evening, watch the open sky transform to a starry night – the wild is ever so peaceful. You might even spot some wildlife as Elsie is home to kangaroos, birds and wombats!
All that adventure can make one crave some serious refueling. Shop local and purchase cheeses, dip, chocolate and wine to create your own charcuterie board back at the tiny home. Use the Wandering Folk picnic rug which is hanging up in the tiny home to pick your perfect picnic spot (somewhere with sun and shade!) and enjoy a decadent picnic in nature. After spending a few days at the tiny home, we recommend venturing out to Jindabyne, where there is a growing selection of cafes and restaurants perfect for relaxing and dining. Our top picks? Breakfast at Birchwood café for its creamy coffee and vibrant brunch menu, and lunch or dinner at the Banjo Paterson Inn – with stunning views over Lake Jindabyne.
Tick off adrenaline sports or enjoy scenic hikes amongst the mountains. Now the snow has melted, Lake Jindabyne Water Sports offers a plethora of activities to keep you on an active adventure. Spend the day kayaking, paddleboarding or fishing! If bikes are more your thing, explore Jindabyne and nearby Thredbo’s rugged trails. For those wanting to turn down the adrenaline notch, just slightly – explore the trails around Kosciuszko National Park or hike to the top of Mount Kosciuszko, Australia’s tallest peak!
Tiny Elsie is equipped with everything you need to unplug and unwind in the wild. With no distractions from city life, enjoy peaceful moments, soak in the summer sun and take in the mountain views. Tiny Elsie is powered by the sun, with our off-grid tiny homes providing everything you need (St Ali Coffee, breathable French linen bedding and a picnic rug) for a comfortable stay in nature. Tiny Elsie in Jindabyne is more than just a place to stay; it’s an experience that connects you with the beautiful landscape of the Snowy Mountains.
