Reconnect. Recharge. Repeat. Gather your crew and head to Oaks Lake Crackenback Resort, where fresh mountain air, big skies, and even bigger memories are waiting. Whether you’re here to switch off or gear up, you’re in the right spot.
Picture this: wide-open spaces, that deep breath you didn’t know you needed, and views of Thredbo Valley that’ll stop you mid-scroll. Unwind by the lake or hit the trails – hiking boots or bike tyres, your call. With 150 acres to explore and Kosciuszko National Park next door, there’s always something new to do.*
Take your pick between our Lakeview Apartments (as close to the lake as you can get without a wetsuit) or Mountain Chalets with sweeping views you’ll want to capture from every angle. And when we say the fun’s on us, we mean it – your stay includes free access to a stack of activities: archery, tennis, trampolines, golf, canoes, walking trails... and that’s just the start.
Fuel your morning with a brekkie at Cuisine Restaurant – local produce, hot coffee, and views worth lingering over. Then hit pause at our Spa & Wellness Centre (massage highly recommended), or keep moving at the Health Centre, complete with a gym, sauna, and indoor heated pool — a mountain swim without the chill.
So, what’s the plan? Unwind, explore, or a bit of both? Book your stay at Oaks Lake Crackenback Resort today – we’ll take care of the rest.
*Yes, doing absolutely nothing counts too. We won’t judge.
