I hope you own a motorcycle because you are at the gateway of some of the finest riding roads in Australia. The Snowy hi way for example between Tumut and Cooma on a brisk, bright day is simply transcendent.
I have a mate who's the chef at the Royal Hotel. I'll vouch for his dishes being way above regular pub fare. Got another mate there who's in the high end stone kitchen game.
So if you're after a good feed followed or perhaps some kitchen renovation, there's a start.
