Harriet House Tumut

Located very close to shops and facilities in the middle of town. Rooms were spacious and beds were comfortable. Shower temperature was great and water pressure also great. Wifi was very poor. We had to organize our own alternative wifi facility so this was a big turn off. It was a pity because everything else was great.

Today we were travelling back to NE VIC with our two kids from Port Macquarie (9.5hr trip)! We decided at around Goulburn we might pull into Tumut for the night and called to book the Harriet as the pictures looked lovely and fresh. A bit further down the road and kids were still looking like they might get all the way home so I called back (20 mins later) and said we might actually cancel as the payment hadn’t even been processed yet and we were sent no confirmation text. The lady said no cancellations on the same day and that they were booked out and we took the only family room, which was really disappointing. Straight after our phone call the money was processed. We decided to just go anyway as might enjoy a night in Tumut 🤷‍♀️ We arrived and the kids wanted to go for a swim. The grounds definitely were not as pictured. The grass was long, weedy and dry and the outside area needs some serious love. Pool, while clean was really old and needs a re-paint as it’s all exposed cement underfoot. Inside at first glance seemed ok… until my daughter accidentally spilled some drink on the Lino flooring. I used a washer to wipe it up and well… let’s just say we are now in the maccas drive through and are tackling the last 2 hours home in the dark. (I couldn’t attach the picture but one quick wipe and the washer was completely black!!! 🤮) The door also had some sort of old liquid spilled over the back of it and the door looked like it had been Jimmy-barred open. You can see they are having a go but obviously we didn’t get the memo as the place was virtually empty. Would be a great, central spot if the cleaning and maintenance was picked up significantly!

We couldn’t get Gundagai accommodation for an overnight stop, fortunately we were directed to this little gem in Tumut, so pleased we stayed in Tumut. Updated, Modern, clean accommodation in a quaint country town, a delightful overnight stay followed by a relaxing morning in town.

Harriett House was a great find. So central. There are 2 pubs that are as good as next door and the shopping strip with its cafes and bakeries are only a couple of minutes away. The room was spotless and modern and the small balcony looking over the pool and outdoor area was a nice addition. Contactless entry made things even easier. Seem to have a good range of rooms.
