Having driven pass the driveway on the way to the ski tube over the years, have always wanted to stay at Lake Crackenback and what a better time than for a birthday celebration. We recently spent three nights in a two bedroom waterfront apartment. We originally wanted to book a one bedroom apartment, but as none were available were given... More

Lake Crackenback is a vast resort with an Australian bush setting - Kosciusko National Park surrounds it. I've been here in all seasons, though my favourite is summer, mainly because I'm not a big fan of winter. It is situated about halfway between Thredbo and Jindabyne. It's about a 2 hour drive from Canberra.You'll definitely need a car to stay... More

The chalet was lovely, spacious rooms, large living area, 3 king size bedrooms, 2 large bathrooms, separate laundry and drying room, not to mention superb views.

Our apartment was perfect - gorgeous views, more than enough room, great kitchen and deck, super-clean and warm. The whole resort was beautifully maintained with plenty of activities included complimentary. We loved our lunch at Apline Larder, canoeing on the lake, trying archery and best of all our segway eco tour - Matt went out of his way to tailor... More

Staff were exceptionally friendly and relaxed. A great place to get out of doors and go mountain biking, paddling, gold or just enjoy the view. The kids loved it.
