Please click an image for a large view: The home was built in 1875 for the Body family. The house was on 5 acres with numerous outbuildings and cottages throughout the grounds and there was a staff of many. Today Ellstanmor is on a smaller block and is the home of Georg and Allison Froeschl and family. . It still has 11 bedrooms a huge verandah, servant’s quarters, a library, lovely formal entrance, gorgeous French doors everywhere, ornate staircase, off street parking, central heating and some nice garden spaces. Being in Cooma’s CBD, the house is within a few minutes walk of all facilities that Cooma has to offer. There is the Savoy cinema screening the latest films. The centre of town is well known for cafes, restaurants, pubs and clubs. We are also a three minute walk to those famous fast food places. There is a library at Ellstanmor but I'm sure that you will love to sit and read in a café or at the local library, all just minutes away. We are adjacent to the heated swimming centre and the cycle path and walking trail commences at the bottom of the street. The accommodation at the guest house is very smart, but casual. Guests have a nice, clean, renovated and furnished room with en-suite bathroom. Some rooms can be combined to make a large suite with a living room and a huge verandah or the old servant’s quarters that has been extended and renovated makes a great self contained two bedroom apartment. Guests are encouraged to relax and take it easy; there are enough spaces to kick back. Our parlor with French doors to the front of the house has a piano and a comfortable leather club suite. The dining room is the hub of the home, casual but very Victorian, with a large bay window and ornate fixtures. You may choose to find a corner and watch a movie or TV, maybe read that overdue book. Breakfast is a casual affair with great coffee, real tea, breads, fruit, cereals and juice we also cater for those who aren’t counting calories, so all you have to do is ask.
