A Mill Cabin guide to our favourite eating spots

One of the best parts of staying at Mill Cabin is exploring the incredible food scene in the Snowy Mountains. From cosy bakeries to refined dining and local produce, the region offers something for every kind of stay—whether you feel like heading out or settling in.

Here are some of our favourite places to eat, drink, and stock up during your time in the mountains.

Perotta’s Italian Bar

A warm and inviting spot in Oaks, Crackenback Resort, Perotta’s serves up generous, rustic Italian fare with a modern edge. Think handmade pasta, wood-fired flavours, and a relaxed atmosphere that’s perfect after a day in the mountains. We love dropping in on a Sunday for a relaxed meal, their pizzas are the best.

Crackenback Farm Restaurant

Crackenback Farm is a stones throw from Mill Cabin. The menu focuses on seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, with beautifully considered dishes that make it ideal for a long lunch or special dinner.

Birchwood Catering

If you’d prefer to stay in and fully unwind, Birchwood Catering delivers thoughtfully prepared meals straight to Mill Cabin. It’s a perfect option for slow evenings—restaurant-quality food without leaving the warmth and comfort of your stay.

Takayama Restaurant

A local favourite for Japanese cuisine, Takayama is known for its fresh sushi, sashimi, and comforting hot dishes. It’s a great choice for something a little different, with clean flavours and consistently high quality.

Wildbrumby Schnapps Distillery

More than just a distillery, Wildbrumby is a beautiful place to spend an afternoon. Enjoy a casual bite or a more wholesome Austrian inspired dish and sample their schnapps. We love it for long afternoons, grazing and wandering their sculpture garden

Snowy Mill Bakery

A must-visit for freshly baked sourdough bread that's slowly fermented. Perfect for a relaxed breakfast or to pick up something delicious before heading out for the day. We love it because there are no preservatives, no industrial yeast—just quality ingredients and age-old traditions.

The Market Jindabyne

For those who love to cook, The Market is a gem. Stocked with local produce, gourmet ingredients, and thoughtfully curated goods, it’s the ideal place to gather everything you need for a cosy meal back at Mill Cabin. Our favourite is their homemade mustard and their Rockstock Deli cured meats, it's all so good.

Eat In or Eat Out—It’s All Part of the Experience

Whether you’re dining out with mountain views or enjoying a quiet meal by the fire, the Snowy Mountains offers a rich and memorable food experience. At Mill Cabin, we love giving guests the option to do both—explore the region or simply stay in and savour it at your own pace.

The most tranquil and peaceful place I think I’ve ever stayed. Surrounded by snow gums and overlooking snow-capped mountains, Mill Cabin is a truly special place. Perfectly at home in nature, but incredibly comfortable and well-appointed. We honestly never wanted to leave - such a blissful few days here.

AMAZING!!! By the far the most amazing place we have stayed.Trent and Niki have created such an incredible Airbnb - highly recommend.The location is completely secluded but close enough to head to the snow or into town if you’d like. The cabin has everything you need from cooking utensils/staples, fire wood, board games, beautiful styling, and the most amazing scenery/view.Definitely an experience we won’t ever forget - I can’t wait to stay here again :)

Mill Cabin was just pure serenity. We were greeted by wallabies, hopping around in the early snow, then entered the cabin to find the most delightful sanctuary. Every detail was considered, from the textures of the towels to the beautiful ceramics in the kitchen. We absolutely loved the design of the cabin, nestled into the gum trees, taking in the magnificent views from every window. We feel revived & indulged, the perfect place to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. Thank you Niki & Trent for a gorgeous experience.

"Can’t recommend Mill Cabin highly enough; the space is beautiful, peaceful and sparkling clean, with high quality products and thoughtful touches. The surrounds are pristine, wonderfully quiet and absolutely private. There is wildlife (kangaroos, deer and even a wombat!) that approach quite close to the cabin and really add to the experience. Communication with Niki was effortless and she was able to provide me lots of helpful info on the area. I feel nourished and very well rested after my 5 night stay- a much needed detox from city life. Will definitely return."
