Overall was happy with this hotel for the family value. But must admit I was expecting more based on the other reviews and my previous experience of Trip Advisor ratings. Importantly, this property has changed hands in the last few months and was managed by caretakers (not the owners) while we were there. I think it showed. There was a drying room for the ski gear, and the family room was excellent. The kids enjoyed the computer games, Wii games and also playing pool. A shame we were all so exhausted after a day of skiing...otherwise could have made more use of this space. The room we were in had one queen and two single beds. It was clean but basic, with no view. The food was probably the biggest letdown based on some of the previous reviews. I think the menu has been reduced by the new owners. The bain marie pretty much destroyed the scrambled eggs if you didn't get in early enough (not sure what was happening with the grey layer on the bottom?), and some fresh fruit would have been nice at breakfast. Also, the dinner was a set menu of fairly basic fare.
We were skiing every day and found Jindabyne a good location to access Thredbo, Skitube, and Smiggins.
I would definitely consider staying here again as I think it represents great family value. Just didn't rise to the high expectations I have based on experience of Trip Advisor ratings in the past.
