We stayed here for 5 nights and had a great time at the resort and visiting the ski fields. The resort itself was in a great location with two restaurants and amenities like a heated indoor pool, sauna, archery and some walks. It was such a peaceful resort with lots of beautiful wildlife to spot. Thredbo was about 15 minute drive and Perisher accessible via the skitube 5 minutes away or driving about 45 minutes. Harro’s ski shop was also fantastic and I’d highly recommend hiring from here instead of Perisher. The staff at Harro’s were so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The gear we hired was excellent and they explained everything we needed to know. Would highly recommend staying here!

The property is the best there is around in that area and only a 15min drive to Thredbo. Great for families and has so many amenities for all whether you have small children, teenage children or a getaway for 2 there is something at the resort for everyone. Whether your a skier or a bush walker this is the place for you.

Fantastic stay complete with wildlife, good weather and spectacular sunsets. Room very comfortable. Only dissapointment was that the restaurant was closed in the evenings (food in the bistro was very good, but more limited menu and not the same ambiance as lakeside restaurant)
