Oaks Lake Crackenback Resort

The location is lovely however disappointed with extra costs for firewood, only provide enough for 1 night. The rooms could be cleaner and updated The service at cuisine was great. A lot of miss communication around breakfast being included than not included than included again and restaurant closure or not!

Excellent location, friendly staff, great facilities, modern comfortable rooms. Stayed there with my son for a ski trip and will definitely return next year

Excellent place stayed in beautiful place a chalet. Great heating , plenty of stuff supplied. Plenty things to do even a cold windy did games inside. The thing I missed breakfast on the lake especially with a large family. Thanks very much 👍 😀

Overall, very good and we’ll probably book again next year. Comfortable accommodation (a 3 bedroom lake view), if a little tired. Some hanging hooks for ski jackets would have been welcome. A very convenient shuttle bus arrangement to and from the skitube. An excellent Italian restaurant on site. Plenty of non skiing activities, particularly for children - pool, archery and trampolines - with a small golf course as well. Mountain bikes too. Excellent walks. It’d be good for a non-skiing holiday I believe. Having not skied at Perisher for many years, we’ve come away as real fans. Much better than Thredbo in many respects, particularly for young children

Beautiful spot. Full of relaxation or activities, whatever you want. Good breakfast provided and dinner at Perrotta's was great.

After reading reviews prior to our stay, I was a little nervous about whether the accommodation would be as described (seems that units/chalets are not allocated until closer to check in date), whether we’d get seats at the restaurant for dinner (no bookings taken), whether our chalet would have a fireplace (not guaranteed), whether the accommodation would be comfortable (reports of unclean or ‘tired’). We needn’t have worried because the chalet (‘Mogul’) was fabulous (might be luck…but giving the benefit of doubt): • Super comfy beds • Very clean and in good condition (bonus: stylish and a bit posh) • Spacious living areas – great for 5 guests (bonus: large bathtub…though we didn’t get the chance to use it) • Well-appointed. We didn’t cook, but there looked to be plenty of pots, pans, utensils etc. Plenty of glassware, crockery, teapot, plunger etc. • Fireplace (with firewood and kindling available from reception) • Lovely views – not right on the little lake/pond, but chalets are arranged in a staggered pattern so those at the ‘back’ can still see the lake and the mountain range • Garage (I imagine parking would be a nightmare in winter) The resort itself: Cuisine restaurant had pleasant and attentive staff, reasonably priced meals and drinks, food was nice (not amazing), relaxed atmosphere, breakfast (included) had a great range of hot & cold food & drinks. Reception: check-in was smooth (within business hours), staff were helpful when our access cards became deactivated before checkout time (fixed it immediately) General: great location (close to hikes, Thredbo etc) lovely grounds and plenty of activities (although we didn’t partake, rather we went up and down the valley for walks, lunch etc). Will definitely bring my bike next time. Our package was the Girls Getaway – included Birdsnest vouchers, WildBrumby items for cocktails, wine, cheese, Poachers Pantry deli meats, and a lovely hamper FULL of sweet and savoury treats. It was the first stay at Crackenback for most of us, and we all agreed that we’d come back either together or with our respective families. Whilst not cheap, there was definitely value in the accommodation, the beautiful grounds and spectacular surrounds.
