« Favourite holiday as always »

We stay in the lakeside cabins and love looking onto the lake. We have 6 kids and they can barely fit in all the things they want to do. They love the kayaks, pool, frisbee golf, normal golf, tennis and basketball. I like to curl up with a book on the balcony and occasionally throw chips or biscuits to the boys as they kayak past. We always go for a walk to and along Little Thredbo River and that is so picturesque and beautiful. Kangaroos hop around at dawn and dusk. Staff are very friendly and helpful. When we go in February, there is some maintenance around the property with drills and saws going, but that doesn't really bother us - maintenance needs to be done and February is the cheapest time for us to go there.

« Unbelievable location with amazing natural beauty »

We had the most wonderful 5 days at Lake Crackenback. We were there primarily for a friends wedding but managed to also take in the abundance of activities and tranquil nature. Will absolutely be back.

We are repeat visitors to Lake Crackenback. We love the calm and quiet of the area, the beautiful scenery, the easy access to quality meals served by friendly staff.

« Crackenback has something for everyone »

Our stay was very pleasant with just a few minor drawbacks, our dishwasher broke and wasn't able to be repaired until the end of our stay. This was largely due I expect to a severe storm that came through just after our arrival and obviously staff had a lot of clearing of debris to attend to. Also the lock on the screen door to our apartment was broken and this caused problems as our 18month old grandson who could reach the door handle and escape.

« Relaxing, beautiful location and lovely apartment. »

We wished we stayed longer to use the facilities. The apartment was top quality and the outlook fantastic. The remote not working which meant we had no TV in the lounge-room for our whole visit was a drawback but it was only for a few days. Breakfast was really good. My only reservation is the lack of free WI-Fi in the apartments which we have come to expect of most accommodation over the world.

« Our stayed was affected by the $10 resort pass holders »

We have stayed at the resort virtually annually for over a decade. We come for the tranquility and the natural setting, the well-appointed and maintained lakeside apartments, and the excellent resort facilities. We often enjoy a meal at Cuisine and a massage at the Spa (although not this time due to a much shorter stay than usual). We have praised the resort to others and invited friends to holiday with us. We have so many wonderful memories. Unfortunately, our recent stays including the last one have been negatively impacted upon by the $10 pass holders. The influx of pass holders has meant far less tranquility and far more competition for resort facilities. This has been really disappointing. It seems strange that guests who pay hundreds of dollars a night to stay at the resort have to compete for resort services with passholders who pay just $10 a day to use the facilities. Next time we will avoid the Christmas/New Year period in the hope of avoiding too many passholders but the experience has left us wondering whether the resort is no longer the place for us.

« The family loved our stay. »

We found our unit was very well presented. Could do with a fan for each room upstairs. The resort itself was much bigger than last time we stayed, this made it a bit crowded in the shared activities areas of the facility. I know we were there at a busy time but i think expansion in the shared areas would be needed. Also extra garbage runs as we found the outside bins overflowing. Overall everyone had a great short holiday break with you, your staff were very helpful and friendly. I haven't heard how you went in the bushfires we left just before they started closing roads. Hope everything is ok up there.

Thank you for your concern about the bush fires in our region. We have been very lucky and haven't been directly impacted by them. We did have a 2 week closure to ensure the safety of all our guests, but this was all very precautionary. We are back open and running as usual with some beautiful blue sky days, which we are all very much excited about. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope your next visit will be as pleasant as the previous one. Sincerely, Alicia Stratton Front Office Supervisor

« Fabulous 60th birthday celebrations with my family and friends at Lake Crackenback »

Everything from ensuring we had the accommodation we needed (some elderly, a baby, different family groups etc) to the amazing service and amenity that is on offer was outstanding. We had a BBQ on the Village green for 25 people, followed by cricket and Kubb... our Canadian friends loved it! We did a great ride up the Thredbo track and then back down - also spectacular. Golf was a great way for us all to stroll around having fun, being watched by brumbies and countless kangaroos and wallabies.

The location was great and gym, sauna and pool was good. I like the free activities like archery and Kayaking. The 9 hole golf course was a bit of a let down. I think more care needs to be put in to maintain the course.
