The Retreat | Crackenback | Couples escape | Cosy!

Welcome to The Retreat, your ultimate holiday escape in the heart of the Snowy Mountains, where comfort and tranquillity meet effortless convenience.

Step inside to find a contemporary space designed with relaxation in mind. The fully equipped kitchen features sleek granite benchtops and modern appliances, perfect for preparing easy home-cooked meals. Prefer dining out? Local favourites like Crackenback Farmhouse and Wildbrumby Distillery are just minutes away for a true taste of the region.

In the bedroom, a plush king bed and flat-screen TV offer the ideal retreat after a day outdoors, while the luxe bathroom with its rainfall shower delivers a spa-like experience. The living area invites you to wind down with a smart TV, comfortable lounge, and space to enjoy a quiet evening in. The dining table comfortably seats four, and the full laundry adds extra convenience for longer stays.

For adventurers, the secure lock-up garage ensures all your gear, from skis to bikes, is safely stored. Underfloor heating, double-glazed windows, and split-system air conditioning keep you comfortable in any season, while premium linens and thoughtful touches make packing light a breeze.

During your stay, you`ll have free access to a host of seasonal resort activities, including:

• Golf
• Archery
• Trampolines
• Indoor heated pool and sauna
• Gymnasium and fitness track
• Canoeing and paddleboarding
• Tennis courts
• Children’s playground
• Disc golf
• Mountain bike tracks

For a touch of luxury, indulge in additional paid services like the on-site spa and wellness centre, yoga sessions, fly-fishing lessons, and mountain bike rentals. In winter, ski hire is available on-site, making it a breeze to hit the slopes. A restaurant and general store within the resort ensure you have everything you need for a comfortable stay.

The Retreat is the perfect base for a peaceful getaway, where you can relax and make lasting memories in a magical mountain setting.

Important Information:

• Private Accommodation: Please note, The Retreat is privately managed, and therefore does not offer hotel-style services like on-site housekeeping or replenishments of items such as pillows, blankets, or TVs. If you require these services, we recommend booking a hotel instead.

• Check-In Time: Check-in is after 4pm, and unfortunately, we cannot accommodate early arrivals. If this is unsuitable, we kindly ask you to consider alternative accommodation.

• Travel Insurance: We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance, even for domestic holidays. Travel insurance can cover a range of issues, including trip cancellations, lost luggage, medical expenses, and unforeseen disruptions like COVID-19 amendments. It`s a valuable way to protect yourself during your adventures.

Come and experience the warmth of The Retreat, where nature and comfort go hand in hand.

Great location and peaceful surroundings

Apartment was a good size, well furnished, clean and comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped. Bed was reasonably firm which we appreciated and it was very quiet at night. Also liked the lock up garage even if it was a bit tight to enter. Lots of wildlife in the resort area. It was a good base to explore the nearby mountains in Autumn.

Snow Retreat

The Retreat is in a great location at Lake Crackenback. 10min walk to SkiTube. The garage is a definite bonus but would be tight? for a large car. Kitchen & laundry well equiped. Lounge & bed comfy. A lovely place to retreat to after a full day on the snow.

The Retreat was a wonderful property to stay, situated in a beautiful setting. The cabin was clean, had a variety of cooking utensils, crockery and cutlery. The shower pressure was divine! There were a number of friendly kangaroos carrying babies who visited us in the afternoon and we enjoyed watching their antics. Overall, we had a relaxing weekend away and cannot wait to return for another adventure.

Thredbo River Adventure

The Retreat provided us with a comfortable and cozy stay. The surrounding area was peaceful and full of lively animals and scenic mountains. We hiked the awesome Thredbo river trails and fished in Lake Crackenback. We witnessed the first snow fall of the season. We couldn’t have asked for a better week.

Couples Retreat

The check in process was simple as was the communication with Alpine Property, especially as there were problems with wifi, TV and a faulty bathroom tap. Apart from that hiccup, the bed was very comfortable, storage in the bedroom was good and it was a roomy bedroom and apartment. Having the garage and your own laundry was a bonus Basic provisions provided were appreciated and our overall stay was very pleasant & we’d stay here again.
