Tumbarumba Hotel

	Hotel Overview : Tumbarumba Hotel Tumbarumba Delightful small country town which is largely untouched by the modern world. Located 504 km south west of Sydney and 701 metres above sea level, Tumbarumba is situated on the southern slopes of the Snowy Mountains. By any measure it is a sleepy little town (having been by-passed by the major road and rail routes between Sydney and Melbourne) and consequently it has a kind of old-style charm, and a number of beautifully preserved old buildings, which make it an attractive destination.
