With the visit when exploring the area. Beautiful views of the falls from the lookout point! Nice picnic area with WCs available. Due to injury we couldn’t explore as much as we would have liked, but there were lots of people walking around the rocks and falls below.

Easy walk to the fall from the parking. The view is spectacular and the breeze makes the heat go away. The rocks underneath the water are slippery but with proper shoes it is not too dangerous. A good destination for a day trip, with friends and family or solo trip.

The Burke Museum in Beechworth is a historical and natural history museum housed in a building from 1857. It's named after Robert O'Hara Burke, known for the tragic Burke and Wills expedition. The museum features over 30,000 historic items spanning 150 years, including Aboriginal weapons, 19th-century taxidermy, and Gold Rush artifacts. The Ned Kelly Vault offers an extensive exhibition on the infamous bushranger.
Such friendly staff. They go out of their way to share more history was great. Nice size museum of history loved the little street set up soon many pieces of history to take in. Worth a look for a small fee .
Kristy E — Google review
A must-go place if you are keen on the history of gold rush. The museum collected thousands of old items from local residents which were put behind shop windows to restore the town street in the late 1800s. The taxidermy exhibitions under maintenance the day I visited which was a pity.

My mother told us that this place is a must visit. And guess what, Mum was right. We loved our visit here. Fascinating history on a fascinating part of the state and country. Beautifully curated throughout. And thank you so much to the local gentleman who gave us a wonderful overview of the building and the exhibits and the terrific tips on what to see in the local area

small museum in Beechwood...most exhibitions are from the Beechwood area with an extensive collection of taxidermy animals including an extraordinary Thylacine Tassie tiger from the Beechworth area ..they are all over 100 years old but in great condition..probaly not everyone's cup of tea but its history ...also a great selections of rocks and minerals and some fossils ...they have also set up a street scene from old Beechworth times ...not expensive and doesn't take that long to get around so worth a visit when in the area

A fabulous little museum steeped in its own history. It began as a place of learning for the people of the goldfields in 1856 and is named after Robert O'Hara Burke of Burke and Wills fame. He was a much respected police superintendent in Beechworth. It contains thousands of artefacts. I particularly liked the way items were organised into replica shop windows to group items by domain. The taxidermy collection was impressive. I wished the other items in the natural history section were better labelled.
Rebecca T — Google review
Really interesting museum. I like that they represent historical people as well as current local people.
Betty D — Google review
Fantastic little museum. Only $5 for adults or $3 concession. Has a fascinating collection of local rocks and native fauna taxidermy. Some in better condition than others. Has a recreated historical Beechworth alley where you can view objects from a hundred years ago. A newer instalment has a more personal analysis of the town. A historic citizen and a modern citizen are placed next to each other and their story is told. Sometimes it works more than others.

Beechworth Historic Court House

Mentioned on

Historical place

History Museums
Beechworth Historic Court House, situated on Ford Street, is an integral part of the Justice Precinct. Dating back to 1858, this impressive building complex was constructed with local honey-colored granite and includes several historic structures such as the former Telegraph Office, Police Station, Chinese Protectors Office, and Gold Wardens Office. Today, it stands as a museum showcasing Beechworth's rich history including its involvement in gold mining and World War II.
A great historic precinct with so much history. We did the tour of the courthouse for $10 per adult. Very good value with a captioned presentation on the walls going through 4 cases heard in the courthouse. After the presentation you are free to wonder the rooms and even dress in judges garb if desired. Natasha was our guide who was very knowledgeable and spoke in a clear voice. Well worth visiting particularly if you want to learn more about Ned Kelly and his associates. The law library is also very impressive.

the whole historic zone in Beechworth is amazing ..courthouse ...telegraph station .. gold wardens house ...gold office ..along with the old gaol absolutely amazing must see when in the Beechworth area ...all dating back to 1850s to 1860s build during the Beechworth Gold rush period

We did the courthouse guided tour. It was worth the small fee, lots of interesting information and you could look at how courts were conducted during the 19th century. It's a beautiful old building and well worth preserving, it's our history.

Excellent, informative and balanced view of Ned's story within the context of the regional Victorian court system of the time. Three projectors display the story hugely magnified across the interior courtroom walls so you can truly be immersed in the history of the court building. Side rooms include the judge's chamber (where you can try on legal wigs and robes) and a magnificent law library full of ancient volumes. Very informative and helpful guide Mal answered all my questions and was very well-versed on the subject. A must for fans of Beechworth, legal and goldfields era history!
Jane T — Google review
If you want experience the deeper history of Beechworth, then the Court house is a great place to start. Beechworth has an amazing number of little places you can take the kids or yourself to go and have a visit to learn about Beechworth. The court House is of course famous for its association with Ned Kelly, but it also is an amazing place to come and see a historic building, built in 1958 and was a working courthouse right up to 1989, this courthouse has been an interesting and integral part of the community just as much as the Beechworth Goal Has. I love how you can almost access nearly every room of the courthouse minus the lady's balcony and a storeroom. But the Library happened to be our favourite room, it was filled with old law books and just had that nostalgic feel about it, the kids loved the library and the holding cells. (They used to have an audio spill that used to play but that feature was not there anymore. It did make for a great way to experience the court room.) The kids love being able to explore and sit where the judge and lawyers would sit and they did a little court play of their own. It was cheap to get in costing us a family of 6 $10. you could pay a bit extra for a guided tour which would probably have been great. There were souvenirs you could purchase for reasonable prices. Accessibility: The courthouse is wheelchair friendly, and you can access most of the courthouse bar the cells I believe. The staff are welcoming and encourage all to come and take part in the history of Beechworth. Great place for kids and anyone to come and visit.
Sara H — Google review
This place is fantastic! Cheap to visit. The court house is in original condition as it was on the last day is was used. Lots of interesting information to read. Ned Kellys trial began here in August 1880 before it was transferred to Melbourne. Don’t forget to go around the rear of the building where one of the old stable buildings still stand. Also the old stone lock up with would be terrible to be locked up in. The whole area is so interesting and next door is the telegraph office to visit as well.

Old Beechworth Gaol, located on Ford Street, is part of the impressive Justice Precinct listed on the Victorian Heritage Register. The site was originally a government camp and later became a police reserve in 1856. Constructed of local honey-colored granite, the complex includes several historic buildings such as the former Telegraph Office, Court House, Police Station, Chinese Protectors Office, and Gold Wardens Office.
The Gaol tour in Beechworth is definitely worth a visit! Our tour guide was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor that made the experience even more enjoyable. It was fascinating to hear the stories of those imprisoned there, especially the infamous Ned Kelly and his gang. The history and stories brought the place to life in such an engaging way. If you’re visiting Beechworth, this tour should be at the top of your list! Highly recommended!

Adam I — Google review
fantastic old goal...guided tours run almost every hour and is the only way to checkout the inside of the prison something to remember ...first tour at 10am .. HM Prison Beechworth was built on the site of Beechworth's first stockade. It was designed by Victoria's Public Works Department and constructed using local granite that was quarried with prison labour... Beechworth was one of nine panopticon prisons built in Victoria. Construction began in 1857 and the prison opened in 1860, though was incomplete and only had single cells for 36 prisoners. The capacity doubled when the building was completed in 1864. Beechworth initially housed male and female prisoners. Female prisoners were assigned washing and needlework for government departments. Between 1865 and 1881, eight executions were carried out at the prison.Ned Kelly served six months at the prison in 1870-71 for assault. He was again held there during his committal trial for murder in 1880. Kelly's mother, Ellen and two associates of the Kelly family also served sentences at the prison the late 1870s for the attempted murder of Constable Alexander Fitzpatrick. Twenty suspected sympathisers of Kelly were held in 1879 in an attempt to limit support to the Kelly gang. The prison's iron gates were installed due to fears there may be attempts to break the sympathisers out of the prison.

Beechworth Gaol had not only the Kelly & gang incarcerated here but also Kelly's mentor & tutor - the "gentlemen" Bushranger Harry Power. Somehow Harry Power's tales are subsumed by Ned Kelly's but it is just as interesting. Other inmates here included a whole bunch of modern day tax evaders & Melbourne's infamous underbelly crims. The newer additions include the conjugal visits area in the gaolers yard as you make your way inside on the right & a swimming pool area - gated off on the left. I expected the Gaol to be bigger but it is small with about 110 to 123 inmates capacity. There is the heritage Kelly era wing, the newer ones plus the Hangman's room & the Noose. A group of us - pre-purchased online tix for the 10 am tour Sun 23 Feb recently. A huge crowd of almost 40. The next tour only had a handful - so perhaps this is a better timeslot. Free parking in front of entry gates & also side street. There is a Cafe Truck in the entry yard too & a nice reception re-purposed area & toilets inside before tour starts. Tour ran for 45 mins & Guide thankfully used audio speaker. Typical Oz humour delivered with full on ocker tones- which you wonder if overseas visitors understood. Exercise yard - with the metal mirror (you will find out why) is also the site of 1800s hard labour (breaking granite & carting it), the chain gang tales all made for the grim reality not only the gold rush lawless period but also the 20th century penitentiary system. You get more of the blood & gore penitentiary stories under the pentagonal wooden roofed & similar shaped guard room inside. The replica Kelly gang armour suite is lined up here (by this time it is an oft repeated sight for us having started the Kelly trail at Glenrowan.). For dedicated Ned Kelly & Harry Power stories - do the Ned Kelly Trail tour run by the Visitor's Centre. Beats me how the confined cells & dire deeds of yore can be re-purposed into arts, entertainment & hospitality...Takes it beyond the "dark" tourism into the 21st century enlightenment I suppose. One way of maintaining historical sites like this for future generations but the essence of harsh reality of colonial past would be lost surely. Whatever works to make it a viable site. Pentridge Prison is already a popular re-purposed hub but ..er..rrr..rr - it ain't for me.

Great local products! We found Pepo farms while on our trip to Bright a few years ago. Since then, we have loved their pumpkin seed oil so much, we have taken it to Guatemala, Chile and Spain as presents to our family. They have all loved it! We also love the chocolate covered walnuts with turmeric and their new macadamia oil. Not the cheapest but the quality is soo worth it. We stop on our way to bright every time we get a chance, but have ordered online many times. We are loyal customers and, highly recommend their products.

We stopped off here while riding the rail trail and were glad we did. We both enjoyed tasting the products - really friendly spot to stop. Our favourites were the lightly salted pumpkin seeds, the chocolate coated ones, the turmeric chocolate walnuts and the pecan oil. Really delicious - will definitely be ordering more online.

Had a lovely time at the Red Stag. Came for lunch on the Sunday of the long weekend. The place was extremely busy which was expected. There was about a 45 minute wait on food which we didn’t mind considering how busy it was. When the food came out it was very delicious and we were very happy with it all. After our meal we had a walk around the grounds to see the animals which was a good experience.

One of the great spot to go for family while not many of these on the way to snow.(Apart from town) A little bit travel off the main road, you got wild animal to feed and brilliant views while you enjoy the food. Service can be improved a little bit with more training on young employee on details but generally not much to complain. Suggesting a ?km reminder on the sign. Not lots of parking especially when you towing. But its not always that busy.

A beautiful countryside gem. If you are visiting Bright, this place deserves a visit. We would have missed it if not for a colleague's reccomendation who is also a local to the region. Picture perfect setting, wonderful service, nice selection of good, and great value. The scones are huge and perhaps the best I have had in Australia. We also had the goat curry and it was very homely. Only if my hometown was in Switzerland. But Victorian Alps do transport you to Switzerland. The farm has animals too and you can feed them for 5 or 10 dollars per bucket. Another must try activity for kids or adults. The drive from main road till the restaurant in the Eurobin valley is beautiful too. I can't recommend this place enough.

Bright Holiday Accommodation is a convenient base for those visiting Mount Hotham ski resorts. Tyntynder cottages offer tranquil surroundings and cozy accommodations, with a lovely walk to the river. While lacking firelighters, the experience was rewarding. The accommodation on 20 Ireland St in Bright provides great service, helpful information, and a perfect location within walking distance of town amenities.
My friends and I booked a listing with Bright Holiday Accommodation some time around August for a ski trip at Falls Creek, which is just an hour drive away. The accommodation we had was new and had a beautiful and cozy interior. The space was enough to accommodate the six of us. As it was winter, the heaters in the shower were extremely helpful. Beds were comfy and we all slept really well for such an eventful trip. Kitchen had sufficient supply as we decided to cook our own meals. We told ourselves that we would certainly book with Bright Holiday Accommodation again for our next ski trip! ☺️

We had the pleasure of staying in Tewksbury Retreat, Bright earlier this year. The house was perfect for our group of 4 couples. It was the cleanest house we have stayed in ,very comfortable beds and good quality linen. Lots of space to spread out, great outdoor area where we spent most of our time. The pool was an added attraction. The house is set in a quiet cul de sac. Easy access to the entire house. Bright Holidays were fantastic, easy check in, great communicators and they went out of their way to assist us. We loved it so much we have booked for next year. There is nothing I could fault.

Location was perfect, quiet but not far from town, backs onto the river and the bike track The house sits on a huge block of land all fenced in to keep ur pets safe and able to run around The house has everything that you need, very comfortable and cozy inside , very clean and well maintained, very spacious and nice comfy bed This place is great for a couple of families with loads of space and not be on top of each other I loved my stay there and will be back again very soon Highly recommended

We have visited Bright Brewery a few times. On this weekender away to Bright, we popped in three times! It is a really great place. Great atmosphere, and great local beers on tap. The staff are super friendly and helpful. We could taste a few of the on-tap beers before settling on one, Then another. Then another! Yes, well recommended. Thank you.

Buzzing with a great vibe for a Saturday night dinner date. Real food. Tasty and satisfying. Was good to have the option of table qr code ordering, and at the bar, as our phone wasn't working. Enjoyed Fainters dubbel and Porter stout 👌😋
Burke B — Google review
Bright Brewery was such a great find! The food was super tasty — the menu is your classic pub and bar-style stuff, but the quality was really solid. What stood out to me was the view: it looks out onto a walking track, which made the whole vibe feel relaxed and refreshing. There’s both indoor and outdoor seating, so you can pick depending on the weather. When we were there, they even had a live performance going on, which added a fun touch. The décor is quirky and cool — I think the lights were made from old beer kegs, which was a nice detail! Highly recommend for a chill afternoon or casual night out.

Good place for a meal the meals are quite big so could possibly share mains between 2, good selection of drinks ( a bit self explanatory) , overall food but the food was lacking a bit of flavour and uniqueness there is alot of pulled pork and the pork belly was average. If this is fixed it has potential

Stopped in for dinner the night before we headed up to Hotham. The service was excellent, very friendly, quick on food and drinks delivered to our table. I had Butchers Block special. It was a 500g T-Bone and my fiancée had the Pumpkin Pizza. Definitely will be back next time we're passing through.
Thomas S — Google review
Always a great experience. Great beers… core range is great but they also have some great seasonal hazy, dark and oat cream ales. Staff are always friendly and helpful (especially with heaters for Queenslanders) and it’s a lovely view during autumn with the leaves changing colour. The hero board is amazing for rubs and wings… but you will need 3/4 people to finish it unless you’re Homer Simpson. Pizzas are also great!

Monument Hill Parklands

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Park
Sights & Landmarks
Monument Hill Parklands is a serene and well-maintained observation area that offers incredible views of Albury. The park features memorials from both World War I and II, making it a meaningful destination for military history enthusiasts. There are walking tracks throughout the park, which provide visitors with the opportunity to explore the natural surroundings while enjoying peaceful moments. Monument Hill Parklands also has restroom facilities available for visitors' convenience.
I agree, this a must visit location in Albury with the Services Memorial at its centre. The memorial is well maintained and is a great location to look over Albury. You can drive right to the top and enjoy the view or get some exercise done on one of the many trails around the hill. There’s a milk bar on the way up to the summit to enjoy.

A beautiful spot whether your a tourist or a local. Great views of Albury/Wodonga. Most of all its our War Memorial site. I hadn't been there in 15yrs and what a change. It's more than a monument. There are plarks for all the different wars Australians have fought at. The ANZAC Day area is all done in exposed concrete and the monument is shining in bright white. Picnic areas are fantastic and there are many to choose from. The view right to the end of Dean Street always looks great. Beautiful site to visit as well at night.

Good area to visit if you stay for couple of days in Albury. You can either hike up or drive all the way up here. Parking around the Monument. Can have eye-bird view of Albury from this hill. Probably best during sunset or sunrise. Very well maintained with toilet facility and some tables and benches for resting or picnic. There are walks starting from this hill too but we didnt do any.
Trang N — Google review
A really thoughtful military monument that is well worth the visit. Do yourself a healthy favour and take the walk up the hill from the township (you can drive up if walking is not an option for you). As well as the monument itself you get some great views of the Albury township and surrounds.

The park features an enclosed playground with ample shade from large trees, overlooking the river and offering BBQ facilities nearby.

Great place for a picnic, BBQ facilities . There's an off leash area for dogs, on leash near the BBQ. Beautiful location, lots of parking, kayaks and canoes for hire. The river allows you to float along and the locals told us most swim and fast float about 2 klms. We saw little kids, dogs and elderly floating down the river so seems safe. A must see location.

Botanical garden
Albury Botanic Gardens, established in 1877, spans across 9.9 acres and features a diverse collection of native and exotic plant species. The gardens boast over 1,000 plant species from 450 genera and 95 plant families, including a notable assortment of rainforest species.
The Botanical gardens are exceptionally beautiful and I found that they were relatively quiet and not overcrowded. There's a fantastic diversity of flora and lots of shade in seats situated throughout the park. I would like to see it open at night time. Sometimes especially lit up with events or perhaps choirs. It would also be a great place to hold nature studies for school groups to encourage our children to become lovers of the planet.
Neville H — Google review
What a charming little park! Colorful flowers and tall palm trees sway gently in the breeze, accompanied by the sweet scent of osmanthus blossoms. Locals can be seen relaxing on the grass, enjoying picnics with friends, or playing with their children—it's truly a lovely spot to unwind. The children's playground is a particular highlight, full of whimsical and imaginative features: ceramic sculptures, a dinosaur-shaped speaking tube, small animal-themed wooden seats, handpans, and tiny xylophones… There's even a fairytale-like restroom adorned with stained glass and a sculpted lizard winding around the exterior. It's truly a magical place.

Hotham Alpine Resort

Ski resort
Nature & Parks
Hotham Alpine Resort, located along the stunning Great Alpine Road, is known as Australia's Powder Capital due to its unique topography that captures snow from low-pressure systems. The area offers ski trails for all levels and terrain parks for snowboarders, as well as opportunities for hiking and biking in the summer. Visitors have described their experiences with blizzard conditions on the road, but found that 4x4 vehicles were suitable for navigating the mountain.
Had a great time here. Aardvark Lodge was great, ski school was awesome and all the people were friendly. The mountains are stunning and there are plenty of things to do if not partaking in snow sports.
Daniel K — Google review
A bumper snow season has made it extra enjoyable during the school holidays. Well organized and managed resort with helpful and knowledgeable people assisting and ready to help. Would prefer to stay overnight to enjoy different parts of the day with changing weather. A little overpriced but worth the place, and the scenery is so good. Chair lifts are wonderful experiences, and it is must go place for skiers/ snowboarding. Tobogganing slope for everyone who just likes to slide and enjoy the snow.
Samin I — Google review
everything from rentals, to slopes and weather was perfect when me and my large group of friends went there a few days ago. however one important thing to note was on-slope hospitality. the summit ski lift staff was not very attentive, it led to a severe injury that i had, i fell first on my head (thank god i had a helmet otherwise i would’ve died) then fell on my right bum. its bruised and the doctor told me it’ll heal in weeks. they didn’t warn me ahead of time or help me get off safely they just watched and yelled LAST MINUTE to get off. it did ruin my whole day to be honest, otherwise the weather and snow made me a little less miserable to continue skiing for a bit. FIX THIS! i saw many, many people even about almost all of my friends fell of that ski lift as well. we know well something is the problem here. thanks!

Great horse riding establishment. Fit, healthy & responsive horses. Quality tack. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Excellent facilities. Great accommodation. We are long term horse owners who no longer have our own. We now just ride at places like this & we would rate this as one of the best. We did a half day ride & 2 nights accommodation. Would love to do a pack trek with these guys in the future.
Melissa M — Google review
An unforgettable 6-day trek (4 on horseback) - called An Alpine Easter Getaway - and by far my most authentically Australian experience so far. The owners are an incredible family who clearly pour their heart and soul into every part of this adventure. You can feel their passion from the very beginning, and the quality of the horse training is exceptional — I felt confident and safe from the very first moment, both around the horses and riding them. The trek is fully self-supported with pack horses carrying everything we needed for camp, food, and comfort. Meals were cooked over the fire, and everything was delicious — with great care taken for dietary requirements when communicated in advance. The landscapes were stunning, but what impressed me the most was the dedication, thoughtfulness, and hard work behind the whole experience. Absolutely recommend!

The ride, the location, the horses, the people were all fantastic!! Can't recommend this experience enough. Very organised and all rider levels catered for. I am a regular rider and was able to canter a few times, which was super. The less experienced were also able to enjoy a trot and canter with guidance and supervision. The horses are well cared for and in excellent condition :)

We had the most amazing time on our half day ride with Bogong Horseback Adventures! Our group was a mix of both beginners and experienced riders, and our two guides Ellie and Audrey made sure we all got the most out of the half day ride. The horses were all perfect and well suited to each rider’s abilities, and were amazing navigating the wet weather! We all can’t thank you all enough for our fabulous ride, and can’t wait to come back next time!
Abbey W — Google review
Attended Bogong Horseback Adcentages for a half day booking. Originally booked a 2 hour ride but upgraded to half day which was worthwhile. We were all novices but at the end of the ride we all felt so confident. The lead guide, Alley informed the group about the horses and general tips on control.This was repeated during the ride which made everyone feel comfortable. I love animals but wasn't big on horses. After the ride it all changed and it turned out to be one of the best experiences to date. My wife and son are all hooked and we cannot wait to return. Highly recommend. The area and views to the snow capped mountains made it perfect.

What an experience, just completed our second half day ride with the Spring Spur team and it was breathtaking. The horses are brilliant and the guides are talented, friendly and great at giving instruction. From demonstration to assisting while out on the track I felt so comfortable and confident, continually learning from the tips and tricks given. The first time we came we stayed in the great onsite accommodation and enjoyed a phenomenal meal that I can still remember over 7 years on. Thank you Lin and the Spring Spur team for welcoming us back, cannot wait for the next time. P.S. should also mention a thank you to Wallace for lugging me around too!

Falls Creek Ski Resort is the largest ski area in Victoria, offering 92 marked trails and 450 hectares of skiable terrain. The vertical drop of 380 meters is typical for Victorian resorts. With 14 lifts, including detachable express quad chair lifts, it provides access to a variety of runs. While some find the runs relatively short, late-season skiing on 'Rapunzel's Run' was particularly enjoyable.
This is a beautiful Ski resort with a stunning lake for fishing. It is also beautiful for hiking in the summer and mountain biking. The shops and restaurants were closed when we went there to have a quick look at the resort and wanted to grab something to eat. So just check restaurant opening times. But definitely worth a visit.

Great place to learn how to ski with lots of tracks for all levels 😁👍🏻 Best time to visit is during June-August as there is more snow that time. You can also rent lodges in front of the ski lift for convenience but keep in mind they are around $1200 per night. 😢 The staff are really nice and always strike up conversations with you on the mouse trap like “how’s your day going?” or “Give me a fist bump man!” 😝 The weather is really cold and I ended up not wearing my goggles because it was really snowy and foggy in that day. ❄️ I was a beginner and had just started skiing with no experience and I learnt quickly and went on to ski the blue and green tracks on my second day so I do recommend taking classes. ✌🏻 There are adult and child classes depending on your level. Definitely recommend Falls Creek! Staff are nice and lifts and transport are nice and well kept too! 👏🏻 Will definitely come back next year!

Disrespectful Pricing, No Support — We’re Going Elsewhere Spent over $2,400 for just 3 days of skiing with the kids — and on top of that, they charge you just to get the card for the lift pass. Had a genuine medical reason (broken toe) and tried to request the early bird discount after missing the deadline, but no response for over 3 weeks. No phone number. Just emails into a black hole. Customer service is non-existent, pricing is predatory, and there’s zero compassion or flexibility. Everything is overpriced — rentals, tickets, even kids’ lessons. The system is built to extract every dollar while offering the bare minimum in return. We’ll be taking our family to a snowfield that values its visitors and treats them like human beings next time— Falls Creek is not it.

A jewel in the NSW crown. Of all the wineries (all over Australia) that we have visited, this has to be the most passionate about their wines and how they produce them. As others have stated, a very warm welcome from Julianne the owner and of course from Milo the house Chocolate Labrador. A very pleasant location to enjoy a Sunday afternoon. The deck area welcomes you with birdsong and rustling of trees whilst you are protected from the sun by sturdy umbrellas. If you want to sit inside, an elegant dining area awaits. Platters are freshly made including home produce and there are also 2 and 3 course meals available. The wine tasting experience expanded to include the new moderately sweet wines which have just released. No spoilers - just make sure you visit and enjoy! Say hi to Milo on your way in and sign the visitor book on the way out! Exact location is 35.915013,147.323099

Amazing local, off-grid, forward-thinking, award-winning winery/cafe/restaurant, nestled away ~30mins from Albury in a beautiful hidden location, peaceful surrounds in amongst the valleys. It’s near the recently completed Woomargama Lookout, with great views of the surrounding valleys, where from some points you can even see Mt Kosciusko too. Owners Julianne and Les were amazing hosts, giving us great info about the areas, produce and their process. Eating areas are: outdoors, on deck with umbrellas for shade, and indoor, incl a comfy fireplace. Food was fresh, full of flavour. Barramundi with Prosciutto salad was superb. Great pairings with their own, award-winning Reisling. Wonderful coffee using a local Albury brew from The Brothers Cup. Great experience, will be back as we hear some sweeter wines, are nearly ready. 😉 We were treated to a special visit from Graham Robertson, an Antarctic polar biologist, who’s done a lot to help the fishing industry clean up their harmful practices. Everyone had great stories to tell. Delightful experience all around!

Fascinating display of various pottery manufacturers in Australia starting from convict times. The many photos give an insight into the people and their work sites. Explanations of pottery making techniques, like the moulds, were helpful. Going to have a good look through grandma's cupboards searching for identification marks of Aussie potters. Some of the items on display look familiar ...

With over 2000 pieces from 130 companies, the earliest being from a convict potter by the name of a Jonathan Leak. The pieces displayed are from very plain through to very detailed designed and coloured pieces. No photos are allowed to be taken once inside the building. The building itself was absolutely stunning. Opened Thursday to Tuesday, 9.30 to 4.30, and priced at $10 for adults, $25 for families.

An amazing museum. The stories of how the collection came together from Geoff are wonderful and really give context as to how precious this Museum is for our history. Geoff you are going to record these wonderful tales of acquisition? Classic collecting process - Notice something you are interested in at a time when pieces are largely not collected or valued highly then pursue with determination.

A superb place for any visitor interested in early Australian Pottery. This museum is vast, well presented, informative and easy to get to from the highway. Check the website for opening times, the small fee and contact details for travellers who may be going through outside of regular open days.

Must stop tourist attraction. A wonderful and comprehensive display of Australian pottery collected over 40 years by the owners/operators of this gem of a museum. Well displayed with illuminating texts that give you a real appreciation for the history of Australian pottery.

Greater Hume Visitor Information Centre and Holbrook Submarine Museum

Museum
Specialty Museums
One would wonder why there is a submarine inland but, We had a fantastic experience at the Holbrook Submarine Museum! The picnic area was lovely, providing a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The staff at the museum were incredibly friendly and helpful, making the visit even more enjoyable. The exhibits were very well-presented and detail-oriented, showcasing the history and stories with great care. Exploring the interior of the submarine was an absolute highlight, and the hologram was both fascinating and engaging—it truly brought the experience to life. This museum is also an excellent stop on the way to Sydney, offering a chance to stretch your legs and enjoy clean, well-maintained washrooms. It’s a great combination of education, relaxation, and convenience. Highly recommend visiting this gem of a museum—it’s a wonderful way to break up a road trip and learn something new!

Two attractions are worth visiting. One is depiction of WW story through Hologram and second is the submarine control room, where you can actually use the periscope. Beside those, there are several other pieces of information. :)

What a cool place to stop at on your road trip to Canberra, Sydney or Melbourne. It’s got some truely awesome old submarines with a lot to explore as you wander the grounds. If you need a break on your road trip this is the perfect place for it, no matter if it’s for the photo op, a chance to stretch or a picnic in the park. Would love to go back and check out more of the museum portion of this exhibit however with the submarine being open all day every day, and the park too it’s an easy stop at any point on your trip.

What a picturesque place to stop on your way to or from Sydney. We stopped here for lunch at the Holbrook bakery. Fantastic baked goods and delicious coffee, a must-visit for a snack. The Oberon class submarine is a fantastic place to learn about Australian and British naval history. Take a photo with the huge half-submerged submarine in the park. After this, you must visit the museum/visitors centre to take a walk through time. Stick around and watch the holographic history lesson in the centre's theatre. As of 08/03/22, the cost for an adult ticket to the museum is $7. Well worth it.

Exceeded my expectations, very interesting reconstructed heritage buildings outside to wander through filled with old tools and artefacts, and the stories behind them. My daughter was particularly impressed by the old equine equipment and saddle display. Inside great history of the town and some of the characters including the legendary Man from Snowy River. Cheap entry and well worth a visit.

What a fantastic little museum. Highlights for me are the WWII stories of locals who served, of which the best is that of Jim Thompson ("the toughest man ever to pick up knitting needles"). See a full-sized replica of the hut lived in by Jack Riley, who was the real 'Man from Snowy River'.

Thank you for welcoming my father and I to your lovely museum yesterday. The volunteer on duty (sorry did not catch his name) was friendly and knowledgeable and the entry fee of $5 per adult was well worth it. We learnt a great deal not only about Jack Riley but also the history of Corryong and surrounds. Particularly enjoyed the schoolhouse and Iris the jeep exhibits. Visitors just make sure to bring cash as museum was not on eftpos. Ensure you bring enough so at the end of your visit you can buy a souvenir or two from the surprisingly extensive collection. Museum also had easy parking right outside and very clean toilets. Was definitely worth the trip over from Wodonga - highly recommend to all history lovers out there to pay a visit. You'll have a great time and definitely learn something new!

Yeah great lookout bitumen road and parking with a super strong platform to stand on. Great description of the ridges and mountains etc. unfortunately Mount Kosciusko is hidden. There are toilets and plenty of parking. The best lookout along the alpine way.
Petes L — Google review
200m off the main highway the turn off is well posted. Parking for a number of cars and although no dedicated spots for caravans or trailers there is plenty of space to park and turn round. Toilets and picnic table, although the table is away from the view. Wheelchair accessible to the platform which is only a few metres from the car park. Great views and well worth the stop.
Paul T — Google review
If there is a better view in Australia I'm yet to find it. I've never reviewed a lookout before but this place was worth it. It was an emotional experience. If you're driving the Alpine Way and don't stop here for a few minutes you are doing yourself a disservice.
Bruce C — Google review
Great place to stop and take in the views of snowy mountains area and surrounding. Nice open deck extends out for a perfect view. There are public toilets and a table to have some food but too many flies and too hot to sit outside. Cool spot to stretch your legs on a windy road if you are driving or riding.

Despite some clouds there was still a good view of the Snowy Mountains. Don't rely on Google Maps to get into the carpark, look for the sign to Scammells Spur Lookout.

I was lucky to have stumbled across this lookout which gave the best view of snow as we drove through the mountains. There are toilets here and parking close to the lookout, which is only about 30m from the road. The entrance is up a small driveway with signs about 100m from the lookout. The view sums up the serenity.

Mt Kosciuszko

Mentioned on 
+50 other lists 
Mountain peak
Nature & Parks
Mount Kosciuszko, standing at 2,228 meters in Kosciuszko National Park, is the highest mountain in Australia. The park offers various walks and hikes like the Rennix Trail and Thredbo to Mount Kosciuszko walk. It's located in New South Wales within the Snowy Mountains of the Australian Alps. The track to the summit takes about 6 hours round trip and requires good shoes due to snow near the peak.
We hiked to the summit of Mt. Kosciuszko (2,228 meters), Australia’s highest peak! Starting from Thredbo Village, the walk to the Eagle Nest chairlift station (1,927 meters) was pleasant, thanks to well-maintained paths and favourable weather—just light winds. Be mindful of downhill bike trails along the route. From the Eagle Nest, we continued about 6 kilometres to the summit, where it got windier and cooler, so a shell jacket is a must! After reaching the top, we returned to the Eagle Nest and then took the chairlift back down. If you choose to hike back to the village, the total distance is around 20 kilometres, so be ready for a full day! * You can not buy a descent ticket at the top, please buy a one day ticket at the bottom. The views from the summit were breathtaking, making the effort worthwhile. I highly recommend this hike for anyone wanting to experience the beauty of Australia’s highest peak!
Yoko K — Google review
The scenery was absolutely stunning! We did a partial snow hike, starting at 11:30 and reaching Eagle’s Nest Point by 3:30, catching the last chair lift back just before 3:45. It was an awesome hike and a great experience overall! If you’re planning to go snow hiking, make sure to wear proper clothing and snow shoes. We had all the gear, which made the hike much easier and more enjoyable — a well-packed and thoroughly fun adventure!
Cebin S — Google review
An incredible experience! I took the chairlift and spent about 2.5 hours walking from the Thredbo Chairlift Top Station to the summit of Mt Kosciuszko. The trail is mostly flat and easy, with amazing views along the way. You'll pass the highest restaurant and even the highest "dunny" in Australia—how cool is that? Reaching the highest point on the continent felt truly rewarding. Just make sure to plan your time well and check the chairlift timetable—we almost missed it, which would have added another 2 hours walking back down. Overall, a memorable and scenic adventure that’s worth every step!
Jason Z — Google review
Absolutely loved being able to walk to the highest mountain in Australia. Locals advised us to walk from Charlotte Pass. Easy to park as we arrived early morning. Toilet at car park. 18.6km return walk. Charlotte Pass is 1755m above sea level Mt Kosciuszko 2228m. The track is well maintained, sign posted and slowly takes you up to the mountain on a wide track. Beautiful flowers, scenery and the Snowy River on the way. We stopped at Seamans Hut for a bite to eat & a chat with two knowledgeable Rangers. Toilet near hut. Another toilet (the highest in Australia) is at Rawsons Pass, just before the last 1.7km to the top. This is the steepest part of the walk, but still ok. Amazing to reach the summit and to be on top off Australia. Cairn and information board there. Ensure you check the weather before going, be prepared with a coat incase conditions change. Wear sunscreen and good walking shoes. We saw all ages walking. The track became busier when we reached Rawson Pass with the people that had caught the chairlift.

Route to the peak: comfortable and light Overall, it’s a good comfortable walk on a prepared trail. Don’t take tracking poles with you if you don’t want to carry them in hands the whole way (on other routes they will be more in use). There are one stop with restrooms (btw the highest one in Australia:)) on the route. The restaurant (near the lift station) works until 3pm. They say it takes 4-6h, but it really depends on weather and your physical conditions. For example, we did round-trip in Summer less than 3h.

Thredbo

Mentioned on 
+66 other lists 
Ski resort
Outdoor Activities
Thredbo is a popular alpine resort that offers a wide range of activities throughout the year. In winter, it's known for skiing and snowboarding, while summer brings opportunities for mountain biking and hiking. The accommodation options in Thredbo cater to various budgets, making it accessible for families and individuals alike. The region is also recognized for reliable snowfall in the Snowy Mountains, particularly at higher altitudes like Thredbo.
The greatest staff i’ve ever experienced at a ski resort. The staff working the lifts were helping us with our skis, the alpine coaster staff were fun and exciting, seemed like they really enjoy their job. They were helping us to take photos of our family, and made us feel like valuable guests. on the food side of things, the local pub and bistro has a spectacular selection of beer and food (they even have pokies if you’re keen for a slap) and the views from the deck are marvelous. the avalanche Cafe is another great option if you are looking from anything from a meat pie or a coffee, to a caramel slice or some lollies. the staff there is also very great, in particular Nico. All in all, Thredbo is a great option for a weekend family trip.
Landon L — Google review
The alpine coaster is the only attraction that feels somewhat worth the money. Unfortunately, tobogganing isn’t allowed, which would’ve been a great family activity. If you’re looking for a better experience, head to Perisher Valley instead — there’s more snow, and you can enjoy snowboarding, skiing, tobogganing, and quality time with the whole family.

It was still snowing when I visited in October, which made the trip even more special. The town has a local, homey feel with plenty of restaurants and a cosy pub, and the quieter atmosphere was perfect. Snowboarding was so much fun, and Riccardo, the instructor, was great and really easy to get along with. The free shuttle bus runs regularly to take you around town, and when we left late one evening, a driver kindly radioed another shuttle on our route to pick us up. The staff were super friendly and the service was excellent.

We stayed for 2 days We went up the mountain on the Suger gums chair lift. It was bitting cold due to the wind. Our accommodation was good. We had dinner in the pub. Everyone was helpful and friendly. Totally recommend a stay. It was very quiet when we were there as it was between winter and summer seasons.
Paula J — Google review
Thredbo is a beautiful and magical place, especially after a heavy snowfall – it really feels like a winter wonderland! My son absolutely loved the Alpine Coaster, which was definitely a highlight of our trip. We tried to book three rides but unfortunately, it was all sold out, and there was only one ride option available – so make sure to book in advance. The ski area itself is pretty good. We wanted to book a ski lesson at Friday Flat and got there around 12:35 PM for a 1:00 PM session, but were turned away because they require at least 30 minutes of prep time before the lesson starts. Something to keep in mind – get there early! One thing to note is that Thredbo doesn’t have a lot of dedicated areas for snow play with kids. Most of the snow play is either by the roadside or scattered around the ski resort, and unfortunately, tobogganing isn’t allowed. On top of that, the Merritts Gondola was shut due to high winds during our visit. While the snow and scenery were absolutely incredible, the infrastructure just doesn’t seem to cope well during the peak school holiday season. Overall, a great experience but definitely one where planning ahead makes a big difference.
Manjunath M — Google review
Worst experience I ever had in this resort. During peak season timings they expect us to be before 8am in mornings to have best possible coverage for 12-3pm pass session. If you really want us to be early, make sure to “REMOVE” passes saying 12pm-3pm on website, and also never release tickets and overbook.
Brighter L — Google review
Thredbo is a fantastic destination for a family getaway. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and full of life — whether you’re here for skiing in winter, hiking in summer, or simply enjoying the village charm. There’s something for everyone, from scenic chairlift rides to kid-friendly activities, great dining, and stunning views. The mix of fresh mountain air, friendly locals, and well-kept facilities makes it easy to relax and truly enjoy your time together. Highly recommended for families looking to make special memories.

Perisher Ski Resort is a vast ski destination consisting of four villages, offering a variety of trails, ski lifts, dining options, and an alpine railway. It is known for having the most reliable snow in the Snowy Mountains, especially at higher altitudes. The resort provides well-maintained slopes and short queues for chairlifts and T-bars. Families can enjoy the best terrain at Smiggin Holes with gentle slopes suitable for beginners and facilities like magic carpets and J-bars.
Highly recommended! Me and my family had a fantastic time at Perisher Ski Resort. The facilities were great, and the snow was perfect for all skill levels. I’d especially like to commend the exceptional service at the Perisher Valley Visitor Information Centre. Elise was incredibly helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable — she went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Her assistance made a real difference to our trip. Thank you, Elise!

Perisher is fantastic for all ages and groups, but especially wonderful for families with young children and toddlers.

Perisher has it's PROS and CONS. My trip was medium, but EXPENSIVE, so if your unprepared to hand over your wallet. DO NOT COME. CONS : The food is ridiculously OVERPRICED, The parking SECTION is HELLFIRE if you arrive 5 or more mins late. Rough and hard track if your lifting skis. Bathrooms are well-maintained, but fewer stalls, leads to a HUGE QUEUE. Dining tables, are pre-occupied, due to the crowd. PROS : Staff members are very exclusive and friendly, especially the lifts. Plenty of stores to purchase from. Hotel is located next to ski resort, but arguably expensive due to location. OVERALL : Amazing experience, considering the climate and season was snowy, and longer lasting this year. Just wouldn't give a 5 star remembering how costly this trip was. Spent over 5000.
Delenia — Google review
Perisher Valley is absolutely magical – the snowfall was incredible and the kids had an amazing time playing in the snow. It’s a winter wonderland and truly a beautiful spot for a snow holiday. However, I would not recommend visiting during the peak school holiday season. The traffic was completely out of control. By 8:30 AM, the resort parking was full and thousands of cars were being turned back, with no prior updates or warnings. We saw the same chaos at Thredbo as well. We ended up losing our bookings – and a lot of money – due to this poor management. There’s a serious lack of infrastructure and communication to handle peak crowds. It’s clear the area hasn’t been upgraded to support the number of visitors it receives during holidays. Go for the snow and scenery – it’s worth it – but avoid the peak season unless you’re prepared for a logistical nightmare.

It’s a lovely place for both beginners and seasoned skiers. There’s a dedicated child-friendly zone, making it perfect for families. The snow-covered slopes were well maintained, and there are plenty of snow play areas to enjoy beyond skiing. The resort is well-equipped with cozy cafés and restaurants nearby, so you can relax and warm up between runs. A fantastic alpine experience all around!

We had a fantastic family trip to the Perisher valley mountain! The kids loved tobogganing down gentle slopes and building snowmen. There were easy trails perfect for beginner skiers, and we even had a short ski lesson together. The snow play area was safe and well managed, with lots of space to run around. We enjoyed hot chocolate in the warm café while watching the snow fall. The views were stunning, and everything was well organised for families. It was a great place to make winter memories, and we can’t wait to come back next year for more snow fun! Of all, kids had a great time and are keen to do more skiing.

Regardless of snowfall. Do not come in June or September. Great resort, such a shame poor management destroyed an EPIC season that could have lasted over 3 months. Fix the Skitube train please.

The distillery provides guided tours where visitors can learn about the process of crafting their renowned schnapps and gin.

George N — Google review
Booked for lunch as a stopover to Thredbo as we've been previously and loved their sticky date puddings so decided to go back. Food was good - the Schnitzel was actually the highlight this time! The sticky date sauce was a little sweet compared to what we remembered (the ice-cream helped soften this!) but it was still decent, especially if you prefer the denser texture with date pieces! It was a busy Saturday lunch so service was slightly slow and less attentive but overall, lovely vibes and surrounds! Good variety of schnapps too!

A wonderful spring experience to finally visit with a friend and my Assistance Animal. Free tasting, mouth watering afternoon tea. Staff are so friendly and service is top notch. Grounds are well kept and being a Vodka fan had to buy a bottle and surprised my tastebuds with Apple and Pear Schnapps! So great to meet one of the owners who's locally born and raised as I am. Will definately visit again. Thankyou to you all for taking extra time for our visit.
Britt M — Google review
We paid a visit over the weekend and ordered the schnapps tasting. We chose: Butterscotch, Peach, and Pear, and here's how they stacked up: 1. Butterscotch: This one’s a crowd favorite, and for good reason! Right from the first sip, you get hit with this amazing, sweet aroma that really draws you in. The taste is rich, creamy, and just downright indulgent. But after a couple of sips, it did start to feel a little too sweet, almost like dessert in a glass. Still, it’s perfect for those with a sweet tooth. 2. Peach: I really enjoyed the peach schnapps! It had a lovely scent, light and refreshing. The flavor was super smooth, with just the right amount of fruity sweetness. This is definitely a drink that’s easy to sip on and feels perfect for a sunny day. 3. Pear: Sadly, the pear schnapps didn’t quite do it for me. It tasted a bit too much like cough medicine. The flavor was kind of flat and not as enjoyable as the others. Definitely the least favorite of the bunch. As for the distillery itself, it's a great spot to hang out. They’ve got both indoor and outdoor seating, so you can choose where you want to chill. The outdoor area is really spacious, with lots of room for kids to run around, and there are some cool sculptures scattered around to check out. It’s a nice mix of a laid-back vibe and a beautiful setting. Overall, Wildbrumby is definitely worth a visit. The schnapps tasting is a fun experience, especially if you’re a fan of unique flavors, and the whole place is perfect for a relaxing day out. Just make sure to go easy on that butterscotch unless you’re ready for a sugar overload!

Made a lunch booking here at the recommendation of a few friends. We had a really lovely time, the property is beautiful and the food & service were pretty good. Enjoyed a paddle od schnapps- peppermint, sour apple, and devils tongue (chilli) which was my favourite. Had some cheese and crackers, olives, and the pork sausages which were all really nice. Definitely worth the stop.
Nicki P — Google review
This place was very crowded at lunchtime, and we couldn't get an outdoor table since we hadn't booked in advance. We tried the pumpkin soup, cheese platter, and sticky date pudding with vanilla ice cream. The pumpkin soup was a bit bland, and the cheese platter wasn't worth the price. However, sticky date pudding was really good. There is plenty of space for kids to play and a perfect view for photos. Ample parking available. Overall, I'd come back here just for the ambience.

It's a must visit place if you are travelling down to Snowy Mountains ! The location is beautiful and in midst of mountains . We enjoyed the pumpkin soup and the cheese platter.

(If I could give zero stars, I would.) The staff here are rude, unhelpful, and annoyed at having to leave their computer screens where they seemed to be “busy.” I only needed some very basic information and it was incredibly hard to get any assistance at all. It’s a real shame, because the building itself is modern and clearly a lot of money has been invested in the centre. Sadly, the customer service does not match the facility — it lets the whole place down. I hope management invests in training so visitors actually feel welcome and manage to obtain information!

Lovely and helpful staff. We visited on a public holiday so there weren’t many people there as you can see in the pictures. They have some nice info for surrounding area and some good tips on how to make the best of your day there.

This is such a good information centre. Very big and therefore has so much to offer inside. There are walls full of plenty of information brochures, as well as a very wide range of souvenirs as well as little gadgets etc. Staff here are more than willing to help you out with anything you may need. The models of the mountains near the entrance are really quite amazing and very well done. Plenty of information regarding the history and the significance of Snowy River which is defiantly another interesting part. Overall it was a great experience and will hopefully return again!

Located in the heart of Jindabyne, Lake Jindabyne Hotel Motel is a popular choice for visitors to the Snowy Mountains region. The motel offers modest rooms with beautiful lake views and provides amenities such as WiFi, flat-screen TVs, and air conditioning. Guests can enjoy dining at the casual bistro and lounge bar or unwind at the nightclub. For those seeking adventure, mountain biking in the Snowy Mountains is a thrilling option.
We initially booked through a third party, but due to personal circumstances, we couldn’t make our original dates. It was a big amount of money and the provider wouldn’t budge but Shannon at Lake Jindabyne Hotel was an absolute legend. She really did everything she could to help us, gave us options, stayed in touch, and was just all-round amazing. Thanks to her, we were able to change our stay to dates that actually worked for us, something the third party refused to do. When we arrived, we were honestly surprised. From the outside, you wouldn't expect much, but once you step in, it's a whole different vibe. The room was huge, clean, and very well looked after. The bed was super comfy, the bathroom was great, and everything just felt fresh and inviting. Location-wise, it’s perfect. Close to everything, which made our ski trip super easy. Breakfast was part of the package and it was definitely a good breakfast that made the mornings easier. All in all, the whole experience was excellent. Can’t fault a thing. Big thanks again to Shannon for her customer service really made all the difference. Highly recommend Lake Jindabyne Hotel if you’re looking for a solid, central, and super comfortable place to stay.

This place was the best value for money to eat in the area. Very well priced and the portion sizes were spot on. Thai fillet could have been slightly larger however, the BLT was HUGE! They forgot the cheese for the kids cheese burger 🤣 also great to see they did not have any gaming. Service was a bit relaxed, was definitely a local 😊 If we ever make it back there will make sure we have a feed at this pub.

Our first time experience stay 2nights 3 days accommodation in Jindabyne NSW, Lake Jindabyne Hotel. Our room has access to the beautiful Lake at the back, morning sunshine and afternoon so nice to walk. Meanwhile Hotel services nothing to complain about, complimentary free breaky is good to start with each day, food is freshly prepared, car park is infront door of our room accessibility, so choose the ground floor I best recommend, room is enough for 3 pax, with complimentary coffee tea sugar mini bags, towels , toilet bathroom facility is separated which is good. Staff members are accommodating hope it’ll be practice at all times. The location is accessible to shops groceries petrol ATM banking, a meat pie shop is delicious meaty beef chunk. We still have tomorrow to enjoy our stay in LJH,,

It's been 8 years since I stayed here and wow what a shock I got when we saw our room this time round! Initially, I thought it was a little pricy since I went last but I can say I got value for money! The new building is incredibly aesthetic and warm! There was plenty of room and towels for our family of 5. Kids loved their own tv. The hot breakfast was as good as before, if not better. Still love the central location in town and a quick walk to pubs and clubs and lake views. Down fall is that there is no toilet upstairs in the master room of the family suite and no full-time reception.

We stayed here for a couple of nights during the winter school holiday. It has been an excellent experience. The check in process was fast (drove straight to the designated parking in front of the room and opened the door using codes in the email); the room was welcoming and clean, with a fabulous view over the lake; the bistro was warm and served good value food; the breakfast was standard though well presented; best of all, it is a great location close to the snowy mountains.

We love the 'Jindy Hotel'. It's had the same manager (Graham/Pops) for many years and we're always welcomed back by him and his team. I always had the daily special for dinner. The pork sausage pasta on the Sunday was great!! Location is perfect with a short walk to the rest of town. There's a really cool chairlift sculpture down by the water (head down and turn right) you should check out if you have the time.

Best hotel I’ve ever come across. What stood out was the included breakfast! Perfect before a snow day. Only critique is they need a cafe added onto the premises. The loft lodge king suit was next level! Highly recommend.

Staying at the Lodge was amazing. So new, so clean, such good value. Lovely big comfy beds in super spacious rooms. We travelled with a baby and it was so safe for her to crawl around everywhere. Great to have a few drinks next door too.
