nestled below Mount Crackenback, tucked away in the heart of the Australian Alps, perfect for summer
and winter activities.
"... Crackenback Farm and Cottage, a rustic resting place in the Thredbo Valley that moonlights as a guesthouse, restaurant, grocery store, and chapel. The restaurant has vaulted ceilings, a cavernous double fireplace, and linen-covered tables, and it serves up country staples such as hearty bowls of soup, robust sandwiches, and fresh, perfectly tart lemonade.

  Lake Jindabyne is ideal for sailing, wind surfing and water skiing. Nearby lakes and streams offer trout fishing while horse riders enjoy the alpine tracks. Kosciuszko National Park beckons bush walkers to reach the top of Australia at 2227 metres. There is a 9-hole golf course only a short drive away. Throughout the year the region hosts numerous cultural, musical and sporting events. |
*Tennis Court:
Our court is a rustic country style court and not suitable for serious tennis players, only ones that
just want a fun hit. Formal courts are available close by at Jindabyne & Thredbo.
*Indoor Plunge Pool:
Our indoor pool is only heated in the peak periods, it is a smaller pool really like a big bath. It
is ideal to relax in and combine with a sauna or cool down in summer. If you are interested in a larger
pool heated all year round Jindabyne & Thredbo both have great facilities only a short drive away.
