What happens in Thredbo Stays in Thredbo…read more Or so they say I learned how to ski here, it was the first experience with the Skis. Although the feedback is, if you want to learn to ski from a beginner's perspective, go to Perisher Blue instead The sights are lovely, do carry a small camera to snap up and salivate the views on top

Jindabyne Holiday Park comes with your standard set of holiday park facilities. There are cabins,…read morevans, powered sites and unpowered sites. On my visit I was swagging it (as everywhere else was booked out), and looking for a place I could bag a hot shower and cook a warm meal. Being the middle of winter, hot showers don't come easy, but they are oh so good. And the showers here are good, if you can find your way in through the access control system. On check in you are issued a 4 digit code. This will get you and your car through the front gate, and into the amenities block and laundry block. My code seemed to work most of the time, although wouldn't let me into the male showers in the morning on one side. Perhaps a test of awaken-ness. This code allegedly also expires beyond the checkout time - so don't be late or you might not be going anywhere fast. Another benefit - no keys to lose or return. The showers are hot and with good pressure. There is also a camp kitchen, which although is exposed to the elements by virtue of being only partially enclosed, is heated by a number of strip heaters around the room. The Camp Kitchen has two barbeques, two hot plates, a microwave, toaster, pod coffee maker and a fridge (perhaps useful so your stuff does not freeze in the winter, or bake in the summer). This holiday park is right in the centre of town, a short walk to the local pubs, and directly across from the Woolworths and other stores so its super convenient with everything walking distance. Its right on the lake too and the camp sites take advantage of this by being on the lakeside. The price seems about right for the peak time of the season - unpowered site isn't exactly cheap at $35 for one person, but given the seasonality of pricing around here probably reasonable. It does get cold here in winter too, so bring your warm kit :)

This is a great friendly lodge which is conveniently located in the Perisher Valley, easily…read moreaccessed on foot crossing the bridge behind the FV Quad Lift and walking up the road behind the Eiger Chalet. When the snow cover is good you can ride from the front of the lodge, straight down into the valley crossing the oversnow route and the bridge and onto to the quad chair. To get your gear to/from the lodge they have oversnow transportation. The lodge has a number of rooms featuring comfortable beds, good quality linen, tea and coffee making facilities and a small TV. Some rooms have renovated bathrooms. There is a great common area with bar, fireplace, plenty of lounges, several large televisions, a good soundsystem, table tennis, 2 pool tables, foosball table, buck hunter and a few other coin video games. The staff are friendly and the breakfasts and dinners are great. Recommended if you are looking to stay on the hill.

The new owners are great, Bob and Anna really tried to make sure that everything was just perfect. From the pencils on arrival for little miss 2 to even offering to hold our 4 month old whilst we ate dinner. They were really family friendly. Now word of warning: there is a "Kids Dinner" at 6pm each night for all the kids staying in the lodge, you may want to schedule dinner at a different time if you want to avoid younglings. The menu is a Table d'hôte affair so there is only a limited number of options. Two course for $40 and three courses for $50. To help the chef out they ask you order when you book which is a bit weird. The food was great and even though we only had the two course option, we didn't leave hungry The wine selection is great and the house wine is only $6 a glass (again a great price for a bar on snow) In short, give them a shot!

The accommodation is made up of cabins which for the basic level are in groups of four typically including a double bed & four singles plus a large bathroom with separate lockable shower & toilet as well as a a drying room, a small fridge, kettle, tv & some draws & cupboards etc making it a great choice for families or a group. There is also separate family cabins for those who want a touch more privacy. Located about 5km from Jindabyne but they do have a store with ski hire etc two bars, a brasserie, buffet & pizza shop on site all of which are very well priced. The buffet has a wide variety of all you can eat featuring roasts, salads, soup, seafood, pasta , mexican etc for $25 or $15 for breakfast. You can grill your own steak for $20 including a salad & vege bar & a beer. You can also order cheap feeds from the pub such as a kilo of wings for $12 The pizza shop also does bacon & egg rolls & take away coffees for breakfast if you want to grab something to eat on your way up the hill. There is something on every night in the pub such as bands, DJs, bingo, pool comps etc so despite the isolated location you get by. The down side is there is no transport so you have to have a car, you can get a taxi but it gets expensive to do that too often.
