The Property
Nestled in the heart of the Thredbo Valley, just a quick drive from Jindabyne, Crafters Cabins are two modern cabins, each sleeping 2, set amongst 13 acres of pristine alpine bush. Offering complete privacy and unparalleled luxury, when you first enter your off-grid cabin be prepared for instant tranquility. These eco-cabins are 100% off-grid and downright indulgent.
Perfectly set up for the ultimate Snowy Mountains romantic escape (including all inclusive elopement packages), snuggle up together by the gas fire place on those cold winter nights or enjoy the stunning star filled sky next to the outdoor fire pit. Snooze in and wake to uninterrupted views of the stunning Snowy Mountains scape with kangaroos and emu's roaming just outside your bedroom window. Indulge in the double couples shower before snuggling up in soft Carlotta and Gee linen bathrobes as you take in the panoramic views of outside bushland.
About the community
Known as Australia's Alpine playground, Jindabyne has a little bit of something for everyone. Whether it's hiking, biking, skiing, fishing or boating, rest assured you'll be treated to some of the best alpine adventures Australia has to offer. A snow chaser's dream in the winter months when the nearby mountain peaks and ski resorts are covered in snow, and a summer oasis with plenty of freshwater lakes and rivers to cool off in after hiking through some of Australia's most diverse and stunning landscapes.
The township itself sits on Lake Jindabyne where there are plenty of picnic benches to enjoy the views on, but the surrounding area offers rugged mountain ranges of the Kosciuszko National Park and the rolling plains and paddocks of the Snowy Monaro.
If you're more into relaxing and a foodie experience, there's plenty on offer there too! Award winning schnapps tasting, locally brewed beer, cellar doors, and an array of specialised local eateries are plenty.
The owner’s favourite thing to do at the property
We've chosen this area as it offers a truly secluded and private retreat. So we have to say our favourite thing to do is to just simply RELAX. We love to sit back, take in the sounds and sights of the Australian bush and completely unplug from the busy world. Take a walk around the property and find a picnic spot to enjoy, or cosy up next to the outdoor fire pit under the stunning star-filled sky.
The owner’s favourite day trip nearby
That all depends on the type of adventure you are after! If you are after adventure in the summertime, a hike to the top of Australia's highest peak on the Kosciuszko Walk and taking in the views of Australia's High Country is truly an experience you will never forget. If you're here for the winter and skiing/snowboarding isn't your thing, why not book a guided snowshoe tour with a local company and enjoy the alpine area without the stress of learning to ski. It's a fun day out for everyone to enjoy!
We also offer offer scenic heli flights over Mt Kosciuszko that pick up and drop off from the front door of the cabins.
Or if you are after something a bit more subdued, checking out the local cuisine and watering holes will happily fill your day. Start down the road and enjoy a schnapps tasting at the award winning Wild Brumby Schnapps Distillery. We highly recommend grabbing some bottles to take back to the cabin to enjoy later, maybe even a bottle of their award winning gin!
Next, head out to the Dalgety Brewing Company for some fish tacos in the sun and sample the beer and wine on offer at the cellar door. On to Shut The Gate Cellar Door and Little Grocer in Berridale next for some wine tasting and a cheese platter hand selected from their providore in the stunning, sunny garden area. Or pack some for the road to enjoy later on in the cabin accompanied by the schnapps.
Lastly, head to the popular Jindabyne brewing for some tasty bar snacks and enjoy their award winning beer. They also offer some take home cans too!
Guests should not forget to pack their…
Readiness to completely let go and immerse yourself in the natural environment around you.
