It’s a magic place, a place to reconnect with nature!

Nestled into the foothills of Mt Crackenback, under a canopy of towering Eucalypt Mana Gums you will find your mountain retreat, Bimblegumbie!
Bimblegumbie was established in 1976 and has since been the home for many return guests and weary skiers. Our personal service, relaxed atmosphere and gourmet cuisine makes it a delight to return to and to explore more of this unique hideaway.
Our superb location is only 5 minutes away from the SKITUBE, that means you can enjoy the snow on any of the slopes as Perisher Blue within no time at all. Thredbo Village is only a mere 15 minutes further. Lake Jindabyne is a short drive away, (9 km) yet another place to visit or hit the night life.

The Word ‘Bimblegumbie’

Bimblegumbie is an Aboriginal word and was found in an Aboriginal dictionary in the Cooma Library. It is known as 'Spear Whistle'. Some think that a Bimblegumbie is the name of a spear that whistles as it is thrown through the air, others think that Bimblegumbie is the name of the sound/whistle the spear makes as it is flying through the air.... if you happen to know what it really is drop us a line.
